Job summary

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Manufacturing Operations and Industrial Engineering Program Manager to own factory layout across global rack fulfillment sites. You will lead capacity planning, automation integration, and material flow design spanning EC2, ML, and Storage platforms.

The role requires strong leadership and the ability to publish clear standards for scalable manufacturing. You will collaborate with facilities, automation, and engineering teams to ensure high-density cooling,

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 experience.
• 7+ years of working directly with engineering teams experience.

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.
• 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.
• Manage phased layout plans aligned with construction milestones, enabling production in early zones while build-out continues in adjacent areas; own layout change control and produce clear visual documentation 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.
