Job 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.
- A self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, with high attention to detail, and have a proven ability to work in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment.
- Create and execute supply planning strategies for critical silicon components or other critical PCBA subtier components, to meet the ASC team, the category, key programs, and customer needs
- Prioritize activities and align with stakeholders across the AWS Supply Chain teams and Hardware Engineering to deliver supply globally with a high degree of predictability
- Manage supplier relationships and allocation of material to demands based on priority
- Be a subject matter expert for the customers, technologies, and markets in which you engage
- Gather data and synthesize reports to help run rhythm of the business including QBR (Quarterly Business Reviews), monthly, weekly operations syncs, and ad-hoc requests.
- Identify process improvement opportunities and work with cross functional teams to improve tools and process to better meet our capacity needs.
- Analyze industry trends and evolving technology to proactively identify supply base opportunities to minimize risk, protect continuity of supply, and utilize industry developments that benefit Amazon
- Identify and pursue opportunities to leverage and consolidate the supply base using system level tools and techniques
- Understand forecasting, demand planning, material/supply/inventory planning, and manufacturing processes/capacity to verify supply commitments
- Manage supply buffers and allocation to shorten lead times and build resiliency into the supply chain without driving excess
- Drive supplier improvement initiatives to continually lower risk and reduce lead times
- Influence suppliers' manufacturing processes, technology decisions, and policies in ways that are mutually beneficial and sustainable for both organizations
- Produce written recommendations and insights to inform key stakeholders of supply chain health and help shape solution design
You will be working closely with multiple Server PCBA ODM and critical compute silicon components suppliers, AWS Supply Chain teams, and Hardware Engineering to plan supply of critical compute silicon components that go into server racks for our global datacenter network. You will partner with Hardwar Engineering, Product Line Managers, and PCBA GSM to develop and launch new hardware platforms, drive second sourcing strategies, and implement buffer plans. In this role you will be looking at "what's next" on the technology roadmap so you can build a supply strategy to support it.
