Sr. Technical Product Manager, Physical Infrastructure (Electrical), Data Center Engineering

DESCRIPTION

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. 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 with people 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.

The Sr. Technical Product Manager (Sr. PM-T) creates and drives the newest generations of data center electrical products and electrical distribution infrastructure technologies from concept to at-scale global implementation. This role provides a unique opportunity to engage with advanced infrastructure solutions and the exceptional people that develop them. The Sr. PM-T applies their expertise to:

• Engage with internal and external Amazon customers and support teams to gain insights and capture critical electrical and power needs for the business today and in the future
• Utilize those insights to identify specific product requirements, create a product vision, and own the product development roadmap for critical segments of the data center electrical infrastructure
• Coordinate between multiple teams to develop compelling business cases to substantiate business value, define product prioritization, and outline budget and resources required to implement product roadmaps
• Drive continuous advancements and improvements within our data center electrical designs, and communicate technical direction to Sr. Management
• Own and drive the complete product lifecycle from idea conception through implementation and wide scale deployment to eventual deprecation
• Develop product features and deployment strategies to improve profitability and penetration in new applications and use cases
• Work independently in a high-pressure environment with all levels of leadership and exercise sound judgment where clear guidelines may not exist

Amazon’s vision is to be the world’s most customer-centric company, and this role is key to that vision. These technologies are essential for meeting our customers’ expectations for service and value and meeting Amazon’s goals for efficiency, speed, and reliability as we continue expanding our data centers at hyper-scale speed. We are a smart team of doers who work passionately to apply cutting edge advances in data center technology. We will rely on your ability to understand the customers’ needs and build them into the overall product design and develop the strategy. You should be comfortable collaborating in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, and contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating leadership, technical competence, and a bias for action. The impact of the changes is broad, so you will need to think big as you set the direction for the team. As an ideal candidate, you:

• Are passionate about understanding customers’ needs
• Have passion for product development, infrastructure design, and can focus on increased reliability
• Are great at solving problems
• Have the ability to lead multiple products/projects at different stages while staying organized
• Earn trust and relationships with different stakeholders (e.g., Engineering, Product Development, Finance, Operations)
• Are comfortable addressing and resolving ambiguity
• Recognize and appreciate diversity of thought and perspectives

Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for engineering, product development, finance, integration, and operation of these complex technology programs. You prioritize your activities to support data center product development, identify and resolve problems and blockers, and focus on the actions that are most impactful for product success.

We have an immediate opening for a Sr. Technical Product Manager in Herndon, VA, or Austin, TX. If you meet these qualifications, exude passion, and enjoy the challenge of innovative projects at hyper-scale size, this job is for you!
