Smart Delivery Technologies (SDT) is building the sensing, edge intelligence, and interfaces that make Amazon's delivery network the world's safest and most efficient logistics operation — from the delivery station to the customer's doorstep. Our portfolio includes real-time hazard detection, guidance systems for drivers and associates, environmental data capture, and edge compute devices.
We are looking for a Senior New Product Introduction (NPI) Technical Program Manager (TPM), Operations to lead new products end-to-end at the intersection of engineering, supply chain, and operations. This role requires someone who can drive cross-functional execution while also going deep on build and sourcing strategy, supplier negotiations, and cost structure.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in Operations Program Management (OPM), is comfortable owning supplier sourcing decisions, and can build and defend detailed costing breakdowns (BOM cost, tooling, NRE, landed cost) that inform business decisions. You will partner with engineering, product, finance, procurement, and manufacturing teams to launch new products on time, at target cost, and at the right quality bar.
Because SDT lives inside an operations org, our timelines are tight and we must justify product value through pilots before progressing toward mass production. The right person embraces this tension: applying the rigor of a high-volume NPI process while pragmatically right-sizing it to an operations-driven, pilot-to-production reality. This is a high-visibility role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, dives deep into data, and is equally comfortable in a supplier negotiation, a design review, or a business review with senior leadership. Travel should be expected up to 25-30% of the time to engage with suppliers and contract manufacturers globally for builds and relationship development.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end NPI program plan across multiple concurrent product launches, from design freeze through mass production ramp
- Drive OPM rigor: schedules, milestones, risk registers, and readiness reviews across engineering, supply chain, quality, and manufacturing
- Lead supplier sourcing strategy, including RFQs, supplier selection, and negotiations in partnership with procurement
- Own material availability across multiple programs by partnering with key component suppliers, manufacturing partners, and product owners to proactively drive sourcing activities and risk buy authorizations
- Build and maintain detailed costing breakdowns (component-level BOM cost, tooling/NRE, labor, overhead, landed cost) and identify cost-reduction opportunities
- Monitor and proactively manage component and product-level End of Life (EOL)
- Partner with finance to align program costs against business case targets and flag variances early
- Identify, track, and resolve program risks and blockers; escalate trade-offs to leadership with clear data-backed recommendations
- Drive design-for-cost and design-for-manufacturability discussions with engineering teams
- Plan and execute pilots/POCs that justify product value, and translate pilot results into go/no-go decisions and the path toward mass production
- Create and present program status, cost, and sourcing updates to senior leadership on a regular cadence
- Establish and improve NPI processes, tools, and mechanisms to scale program management across the organization
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 6+ years of project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical path management experience
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or equivalent
- 6+ years of technical program management experience
- 4+ years of relevant strategic sourcing including vendor negotiations, global contract management, process improvement, operational and financial analysis experience
- Experience in written and verbal communication with the ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to executives and non-technical leaders
- Experience managing global supply chains and contract manufacturer (CM/ODM) relationships
- Hands-on experience building and analyzing costing breakdowns (BOM cost, tooling/NRE, landed cost)
- Experience managing cross-functional programs involving engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing, shipping multiple products from concept to mass production
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Project Management Professional (PMP) or equivalent certification
- Experience working across teams and influencing teams that are not your own
- Experience in consumer hardware, electronics, or high-volume manufacturing environments
- Experience with cost modeling tools and should-cost analysis
- Experience deploying hardware into operations, logistics, or safety-critical environments

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Product Operations Manager
Verify your degree field matches the role
USCIS requires a direct relationship between your degree and the Product Operations Manager duties. A business, industrial engineering, or information systems degree maps clearly. A mismatch triggers an RFE, so document how your coursework aligns to your specific job description.
Check employer LCA filings on Migrate Mate
Search Product Operations Manager LCA filings by employer on Migrate Mate to identify which companies have an active H-1B sponsorship track record for this role specifically, not just tech or operations hiring broadly.
Target cap-exempt employers to bypass the lottery
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government research organizations are cap-exempt under USCIS rules. Product operations roles exist at these employers, and your petition can be filed at any time without waiting for the April registration window.
Use OFLC Wage Search before negotiating an offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your location and job level. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC code 11-3021 before your offer conversation so you understand the floor your employer must meet.
Align your job description to O*NET criteria early
USCIS evaluates whether your role qualifies as a specialty occupation. Pull the O*NET profile for General and Operations Managers and ask your employer to mirror its degree requirements in your offer letter and the I-129 supporting documentation.
Request premium processing if your start date is fixed
Standard I-129 adjudication can run months past October 1, the earliest H-1B cap petitions take effect. If your employer has a firm start date tied to a product launch or fiscal year, file with premium processing to get a decision within 15 business days.
H-1B Visa Product Operations Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Operations Manager role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided your employer's job description requires a specific bachelor's degree or higher in a field like business administration, operations management, industrial engineering, or information systems. Roles written as 'any degree accepted' can fail specialty occupation review. Your employer's offer letter and the I-129 support documents need to explicitly tie the position's duties to a theoretical and practical body of knowledge in that degree field.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B visas for Product Operations Manager positions?
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified H-1B Labor Condition Application filing history filtered by role, so you can see which companies have actually sponsored Product Operations Manager or closely related titles rather than relying on a company's general reputation for sponsorship. LCA data is publicly filed with DOL and reflects real hiring activity.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Product Operations Manager role changes significantly after I'm sponsored?
A material change in duties, job location, or employer entity requires your employer to file an amended I-129 with USCIS before the change takes effect. If you move to a new office in a different metropolitan statistical area, a new LCA is also required. Failing to amend puts your status at risk, so flag role changes to your employer's HR or immigration counsel immediately.
Can I switch employers mid-H-1B if I get a better Product Operations Manager offer?
Yes, H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer as soon as they file a new I-129 on your behalf, provided your current petition has been approved and was properly filed. You don't need to wait for the new petition to be approved. Your new employer must file before your current authorized period ends, and the new role must also qualify as a specialty occupation.
Does the SOC code my employer uses on the LCA affect my H-1B approval?
It can. The Standard Occupational Classification code selected on the LCA determines the DOL prevailing wage level your employer must meet and signals to USCIS how they'll evaluate specialty occupation status. For Product Operations Manager roles, SOC 11-3021 is most commonly used. If the code doesn't match the actual duties described in your offer letter, USCIS may issue an RFE questioning whether the role qualifies.
