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.

The Sr. Technical Product Manager Creates And Drives The Next Generation Of Medium Voltage (MV) Products, Including Medium Voltage Switchgear (MVS) And Medium Voltage Transformers (MVT), From Concept To At-scale Global Deployment. This Role Provides a Unique Opportunity To Work At The Intersection Of Power Distribution Infrastructure And Hyper-scale Data Center Growth. The Sr. PM-T Applies Their Expertise To:
