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.
We are seeking a Principal Tech Operations Engineer to lead and scale regional manufacturing operations across a complex, multi vendor hardware production ecosystem. This role owns the end to end orchestration of external manufacturing partners, driving supplier onboarding, site enablement, technical roadmap development, and sustained performance management across Supply Chain, Quality, Technical Operations, and Procurement functions. You will shape operational planning inputs that determine how the region builds and delivers enterprise hardware at scale.
You will serve as the single threaded owner for manufacturing operations outcomes, aligning diverse stakeholders, setting strategic direction, and delivering results that meet business scaling targets. You will build consensus and drive decisions at velocity across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Hardware Engineering, Risk Management, Public Policy, Finance, and Customer facing organizations while maintaining full accountability for production performance and customer delivery.
This is a senior role which requires 10+ years of technical program management experience. The role demands deep, tenured expertise in high mix, high complexity hardware manufacturing. You will have personally led organizations through product transitions, capacity ramps, supplier onboarding cycles, and operational transformations. You thrive in dynamic environments where shifting product mix, evolving customer demand, and technology transitions require rapid, high judgment decision making that balances quality, cost, throughput, and delivery reliability.
You will own complex integration programs from conception through design, validation, implementation, and scaling across manufacturing sites. The scope includes orchestrating a multi vendor ecosystem of manufacturing partners, managing the largest and most complex supplier engagements in the region, and delivering next generation technology programs. This includes enabling the region's first liquid cooled rack production, supporting the industry transition from air cooled to liquid cooled infrastructure. In 2027, the role expands to lead the site setup, vendor selection, and operational ramp of a purpose built Manufacturing Center of Excellence, a greenfield facility that will double regional manufacturing capacity and set operational standards for global replication.
You will bring strong technical depth across server, storage, and network hardware architectures combined with expertise in program management, supply chain operations, capacity modeling, new product introduction, and manufacturing engineering. You will drive systemic root cause resolution using structured methodologies (5 Whys, 8D, Six Sigma) and own all site capacity planning across the region. You will maintain accountability for critical financial levers including direct and indirect labor optimization, cost per unit, and overall cost competitiveness.
You will champion the highest standards of safety, security, and operational excellence across every engagement. You will communicate with clarity through structured business reviews, establish the metrics that define success, and influence across engineering, supply chain, quality, and executive leadership to deliver customer commitments at a global scale.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Business Operations Manager
Translate your credentials into U.S. equivalency
Singapore's four-year bachelor's degrees are recognized as U.S. equivalents, but your employer's attorney will need your transcripts evaluated by a NACES-accredited credential evaluator before the LCA is filed. Get this done before you start interviewing.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs under SOC code 11-1021 (General and Operations Managers). Employers already familiar with H-1B1 Singapore filings move faster and make fewer errors in the consular packet.
Search H-1B1 jobs using Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship history, using DOL Labor Condition Application data. You can see which companies have filed for operations management roles before sending a single application.
Clarify the specialty occupation fit for your offer
Business Operations Manager titles vary widely. Before accepting an offer, confirm your job description maps to a specific degree field, not a general management role, since USCIS and consular officers assess whether the duties require specialized knowledge tied to a bachelor's degree.
Ask your employer to file the LCA before your start date
The DOL must certify your LCA before you can schedule your consulate appointment. This typically takes seven business days, but your employer needs to post a public notice for ten consecutive business days first. Build this into your start date negotiation.
Prepare for consular intent questions specific to your role
Consular officers assess nonimmigrant intent for H-1B1 visa applicants. For operations managers, officers often probe organizational ties and whether the role requires your physical presence in the U.S. long-term. Have concrete answers about your Singapore-based professional connections ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Business Operations Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes, provided the role requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as business administration, operations management, or industrial engineering. If the job description accepts any degree regardless of field, the specialty occupation standard may not be met. Your employer should document in the LCA that the position requires this specific educational background.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to the H-1B for Business Operations Manager roles?
The H-1B1 visa skips the lottery entirely, has no USCIS petition filing requirement, and processes at the Singapore consulate rather than through USCIS. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so you can't use it as a direct path to a green card. For Singaporean operations professionals who want to work in the U.S. without lottery risk, H-1B1 is the faster and more predictable route.
How do I find employers who offer H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship for operations roles?
Migrate Mate shows verified H-1B1 Singapore visa sponsorship history drawn from DOL Labor Condition Application data, filtered by job category. You can identify companies that have sponsored operations management roles before, which tells you they understand the filing process and are set up to move quickly once they select a candidate.
Can I switch employers after starting work on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but the process restarts from scratch. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL, post the required public notice, and you'll need a new H-1B1 visa stamp at the consulate before returning to the U.S. There's no H-1B visa-style portability under H-1B1, so time your transition carefully to avoid a gap in work authorization.
What happens if my H-1B1 Singapore visa is denied at the consulate?
H-1B1 visa denials at the consulate are typically issued under Section 214(b), meaning the officer wasn't satisfied with nonimmigrant intent or the specialty occupation documentation. You can reapply with a stronger package addressing the specific refusal reason. Unlike H-1B RFEs handled by USCIS, there's no formal appeal process, so correcting the documentation and reapplying is the practical path forward.
