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 AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment to 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.

Within AIS and Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Products and Services team is driving rapid innovation in mechanical cooling and controls systems used by AWS. Our designs are fundamentally changing the data center, providing operational and financial benefits that are critical to the success of the AWS business and its millions of customers. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems and take big bets on new concepts, enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the industry. This role provides the opportunity to work closely with our team of innovative mechanical engineering builders developing and deploying the next generation of liquid cooling infrastructure for our data centers.

AWS is seeking a Principal Technical Product Manager for our team developing new infrastructure solutions that enable at-scale deployment of the latest liquid-cooled racks into our data centers. We are looking for an individual contributor with excellent people skills and prior liquid cooling system level development experience to define the strategy, provide technical guidance, and lead the team to execute against this strategy. This role will work closely with both AWS builders and third-party manufacturers to develop data center infrastructure solutions on our behalf.

If you have experience leading the system level product strategy for mechanical products/solutions, have an extensive understanding of liquid-cooled solutions in data centers, and know how products should be operated to ensure quality and scalability, you may be a good fit. This role requires the ability to influence a team in developing product strategy and roadmaps that innovate, create, manage, and deliver world class products to be deployed in our data centers. Our product managers work passionately to define customer requirements, development compelling product strategies to drive business value, and partner with cross functional teams and external vendors to make their strategies a reality at AWS scale.

Since Amazon has a global presence, intermittent travel will be necessary and should be expected to be approximately 30% to AWS offices, data centers, suppliers, vendors, and product validation tests. While most travel will be domestic, some international travel may be required.

Key job responsibilities

  • Define product strategies for AWS liquid cooling architectures, integrating multiple technologies that optimize for delivery speed, performance, reliability, and efficiency
  • Define liquid cooling product roadmaps that ensure compatibility with future server hardware and data center infrastructure roadmaps
  • Build trust with cross-functional disciplines by leading product roadmap reviews and gathering customer feedback
  • Deliver a robust liquid cooling product portfolio that meets technical requirements for performance and reliability, but also considers broader implications to supply chain, manufacturing, construction, operations, and other disciplines
  • Provide strategic product leadership for global deployment strategies, including standardization of cooling technologies, development of smart tools, and optimization of supply chain logistics
  • Communicate complex system interactions through detailed system diagrams, control narratives, and performance specifications that bridge product and facility requirements
  • Direct innovative, high-performance teams in developing integrated cooling solutions combining heat capture and heat rejection technology, optimizing facility-wide thermal management exceeding 100MW+ while achieving industry-leading mechanical PUE below 1.05

A day in the life

A Principal Technical Product Manager for liquid cooling works closely with key partners to innovate, create, manage, and support the complete lifecycle of our infrastructure portfolio. This role will collaborate with internal and external partner teams to ensure products and solutions perform as intended. The Principal Technical Product Manager role will work closely with engineering, supply chain, reliability, and other teams to identify and mitigate design issues and build infrastructure strategies to execute at scale.

Amazon.com Inc

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
