Sr. Technical Program Manager, AWS Manufacturing Operations

Sr. Technical Program Manager, AWS Manufacturing Operations

Job :  | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

• Translate rack fulfillment capacity plans into data-driven facility layouts for AWS manufacturing operations, designing end-to-end material flow from dock receipt through assembly, integration, test, and dispatch across EC2, Machine Learning, and Storage product platforms.
• Design factory floor layouts including automation line stations, manual assembly zones, test positions, sub-assembly areas, burn-in, and repair workflows—determining optimal buffer sizing, automation vs. manual line trade-offs, and material handling system specifications (AMR/AGV routes, conveyors, ASRS) based on cycle time analysis, volume ramp curves, and product mix complexity.
• Develop and maintain industrial simulation models (Flex Sim, Plant Simulation, or equivalent) to identify bottlenecks, validate throughput assumptions, optimize material flow paths, and establish performance metrics including takt time adherence, buffer occupancy, and transport cycle times.
• Coordinate utility and infrastructure requirements (power, cooling, network, compressed air) for each production zone with facilities and construction teams, ensuring infrastructure readiness aligns with layout phasing—particularly for high-density ML accelerator and Storage rack configurations requiring liquid cooling and high‑power distribution.
• Manage phased layout plans aligned with construction milestones, enabling production in early zones while build‑out continues in adjacent areas; own layout change control, produce clear visual documentation (2D/3D layouts, material flow diagrams, phasing overlays), and develop replicable standards across the global manufacturing site network.
• Drive continuous improvement and operations sustaining by owning the factory layout as a living document, partnering with Operations, Test, Process, and Automation Engineering teams to implement optimizations that reduce cycle time, improve throughput toward manufacturing‑to‑ship SLA targets, and enable rapid capacity deployment for new product platform introductions.
• Excellent communicator with an ability to concisely and precisely convey information to executives and cross‑functional teams.
• Evangelist for teaching Automation to the organization.
• Ability to multitask on several concurrent projects of medium to high complexity.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent.
• 5+ years of technical product or program management experience.
• 5+ years of technical program management experience working directly with software engineering teams.
• 7+ years of working directly with engineering teams.
• Experience managing programs across cross‑functional teams, building processes, and coordinating release schedules.

• 5+ years of project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management experience.
• Experience managing projects across cross‑functional teams, building sustainable processes and coordinating release schedules.
• Experience defining KPI's/SLA's used to drive multi‑million dollar businesses and reporting to senior leadership.
