Sr Technical Program Manager - Hardware, AWS Generative AI & ML Servers

About the role

The Hardware Engineering AI/ML UltraServer platform team is a group of engineers and technical program managers directly responsible for launching GPU-accelerated servers into the AWS fleet. Located in Seattle, Austin, and Cupertino, we collaborate with global development teams and ODM partners to deliver next-generation AI/ML infrastructure deployed in datacenters worldwide. We move fast with small, empowered teams delivering end-to-end — from server conception through fleet-scale operations.

Responsibilities

• Own programs where the critical path runs through silicon, firmware, and software teams simultaneously.
• Translate ambiguity into structure: turning a fleet telemetry signal into a corrective action plan with quantified failure rates, a customer requirement into a new platform milestone with EVT/DVT/PVT gates, or a manufacturing escape into a design change with updated validation criteria.
• Drive decisions on program trade-offs — adjusting scope when qualification gates slip, balancing deployment speed against fleet risk, and determining when to accept interim mitigations instead of holding for root-cause fixes.
• Ensure hardware readiness, qualification completeness, and operational handoff happen without gaps when a large scale of GPU servers depend on your program landing on time.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related discipline or equivalent.
• 6+ years of experience managing programs across cross-functional teams, building processes and coordinating release schedules.
• 5+ years of experience driving hardware development programs (servers, racks, networking, or storage) through full product lifecycle including design, validation, manufacturing, and fleet deployment.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields preferred.
• Experience leading the design, automation, deployment, and support of large-scale infrastructure.
• Experience facilitating discussions with senior leadership regarding technical / architectural trade-offs, best practices, and risk mitigation.
• Experience coordinating complex server programs with ODM/JDM partners across multiple geographies, managing design reviews, manufacturing readiness gates, and quality checkpoints.
• Experience driving root cause analysis and corrective action processes for hardware reliability issues at fleet scale.
• Knowledge of server hardware development lifecycle: electrical/mechanical design, firmware, thermal/power validation, and manufacturing testing.

Skills

• Deep technical intuition across hardware and software.
• Technical product or program management experience, working directly with multiple engineering teams.
• Ability to challenge engineering decisions and bring structure to programs where requirements, timelines, and dependencies are still forming.
• Ability to align priorities across teams in different organizations and escalate with data, not noise.
• Ability to mentor and develop others — TPMs and engineers alike.
• Contribute to hiring, promotion assessments, and raising the bar for program management practices in your organization.
