Hardware Technical Program Manager, Nitro Team

Annapurna Labs is the team behind the custom silicon and systems at the heart of AWS (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure — we operate like a start-up with the scale of the world's largest cloud provider.



Key job responsibilities
Per K2 Generation, own tasks that are cross cards SKUs. This includes:
- Drive shared technologies (Ethernet, PCIe, DRAM) integration plan. Work w partner Org in AWS (eg NPD, AIS, HW-Eng) on per generation plan with milestones. This while getting definitions from K2 owner, and Ethernet, PCIe and DRAM owners.
- Own Readiness to new Chip bring up: Labs plan, Dev systems needs & deliveries plan management, manage priorities across activities in AP and at the ECO systems (peer teams) outside AP.
Own K2 critical and multi-discipline Task Forces
- Critical Debugs: of issues that are cross products and cross development and Mass Production (such as: bugs escapees, defects, low yield, etc.). In all these cases the customer impact is significant, and the K2 HW TPM is the single owner to drive engineering for results, after analyzing customer needs and impacts.
- Cross Verticals Deliveries: These can be planning deliveries of new manufacturing flow (from pilot, learnings, and General Availability/Mass Production). Another examples are: supply chain security new flow, new SoC bin integration cross cards, etc. This also includes owning of the Customer delivery\integration plan vs the Product ramp up (for critical programs)
