Hardware Systems TPM — Flexible Hours & Big-Impact NPI

Anthropic Limited; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 365,000 - 435,000; Full time

Job summary

Anthropic is seeking a Technical Program Manager for Hardware Systems to own end-to-end execution of hardware platforms, from concept through production deployment. You will coordinate ODMs/CMs, silicon, firmware, and data-center teams to deliver scalable board, rack, and interconnect solutions.

The role requires 8+ years in hardware systems and hands-on experience with EVT/DVT/PVT cycles, strong written communication, and the ability to operate autonomously in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in hardware systems / NPI program management for compute, networking, storage, or accelerator platforms.
• Direct ownership of at least one platform from concept through volume production — EVT/DVT/PVT arc and recovery.
• Working technical fluency across the hardware stack — power, thermal, mechanical, high-speed interconnect, board design, system management.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated hardware systems program plan across board, chassis, rack, and interconnect — from requirements through EVT/DVT/PVT, qualification and production ramp.
• Drive execution with ODMs, contract manufacturers, and component/optics vendors: SOWs, build schedules, deliverable tracking, factory readiness, escalation when they slip.
• Stand up and run the NPI cadence — build matrix, engineering reviews, DFx, issue triage, exit criteria, lightweight for a small, senior team.
• Drive bring-up and validation program for new platforms: lab and pilot-rack logistics, firmware/BMC/diagnostics coordination, test coverage, reliability and telemetry targets.
• Own interfaces that affect program: silicon, datacenter, infrastructure software, supply chain, and deployment windows.
• Land build / buy / co-design recommendations with architecture team after partner evaluations.
• Own program communication upward and outward for audiences from architects to executives.
• Develop AI-assisted approaches to hardware PM — issue-tracker synthesis, build-readiness checking, BOM consistency.
