Senior Technical Program Manager, AWS Solutions Hardware Development
Amazon
DESCRIPTION
Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative environment that's more startup than a big company. We will need to tackle problems that span a variety of domains: computer vision, image recognition, machine learning, real-time and distributed systems.
You will tackle challenging, novel situations every day and, given the size of this initiative, you will have the opportunity to work with multiple technical teams at Amazon in different locations. You are comfortable with a high degree of ambiguity and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before. Along the way, we guarantee that you will learn a ton, have fun and make a positive impact on millions of people.
Key job responsibilities
-Write and present Program Reviews to leadership
-Manage cross-functional project schedules
-Write and manage product technical requirements
-Write and manage DFMEA / NUDD risk lists
-Lead recurring and ad-hoc meetings
-Look around corners to identify resource and technical gaps
-Deep dive with hardware and firmware engineers, and operations managers to understand surprises and create actionable paths to success
A day in the life
Daily activities are highly varied. Some days will be focused forward creating project requirements and draft schedules and budgets. Some days will be focused on current technical, supply chain, or logistical challenges. Some days will be focused on celebrating current milestone achievements with the team. Other days will be spent looking to the past, reviewing prototype builds, beta tests, product builds and launches, pilot launches, and field failures. Most days will be a mix of all of the above.

Why AWS

We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
