Senior Technical Program Manager, Global Infra & Factory Operations

Amazon; Dublin; On-site; EUR 120,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon's AWS Infrastructure Services in Ireland seeks a seasoned Technical Product/Program Manager to lead global manufacturing layouts and end-to-end material flow across EC2, ML, and Storage platforms.

You will translate capacity plans into data-driven factory layouts, coordinate power and cooling infrastructure, and drive continuous improvements with cross-functional teams, communicating effectively with executives while evangelizing automation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent.
• 5+ years of technical product or program management experience.
• 5+ years of technical program management 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.

Responsibilities

• 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 (FlexSim, 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—especially 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.
• Act as an evangelist for teaching automation to the organization.
• Ability to multitask on several concurrent projects ranging from medium to high complexity.
