During the interview process, we will assess fit for both positions and align candidates to the team where their experience and interests are the strongest match.\n\nWe are looking for a forward-thinking technical leader to manage a diverse, cross-functional team of Hardware Design Engineers, Systems Development Engineers, and Technical Program Managers responsible for developing storage or accelerated (AI/ML/GPU) server platforms for AWS.\n\nThis is not a role for someone who manages from a distance. You will set the technical vision and architectural direction for next-generation server platforms — making bold bets on where storage or accelerated compute infrastructure needs to go — and then build and lead the team that delivers it. Your success is measured not just by launching hardware, but by driving fast instance adoption because you built the right thing for the customer.\n\nYou will own the full lifecycle — design, build, test, deploy to the data center, launch, and fleet health beyond launch. You will lead a team of architects\ndefining what we build next, an NPI team delivering it through build and test to the data center, and an operations-focused engineering team ensuring it runs reliably at scale long after launch. You will connect these functions into a single, cohesive organization that moves fast and delivers high-quality server platforms that customers want to adopt.\n\nYou will work across organizational boundaries — with other AWS service teams to deeply understand customer workloads and translate\nthat understanding into hardware architecture decisions.
