Job Description
DESCRIPTION
AWS builds one of the largest networks in the world, and every rack that lands in a data center depends on optics, copper, fiber and switches all arriving on time. The Network Product Development (NPD) Interconnects team designs and brings to production the optical modules, DAC/AEC copper cables and structured fiber that connect AWS infrastructure.
We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to help drive how our products move from forecast to factory to data center. You will be the day-to-day interface between Supply Chain, our manufacturing vendors and the NPD engineers who design our products. You make sure each group has the technical context, data and decisions it needs from the others. When a forecast changes, a supplier raises a constraint or a build stalls, you bring the right people together quickly, frame the trade-offs clearly and drive the issue to resolution.
We work quickly and practically. Rather than waiting for large software programs, you will use AI tools, agents, scripts and lightweight workflows to stand up working processes fast. You'll run them on a regular cadence with our partners and improve them as you learn. Once a process has proven itself, you will help turn it into durable tooling.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
Your week might start with a CTB review across optics and fiber vendors, where an AI agent you set up has already reconciled the latest vendor data and flagged a laser shortfall weeks ahead. You then pull Supply Chain and engineering together to work through what a forecast revision means for supplier agreements. Later you follow up with a vendor on a capacity constraint that doesn't match their reported output, and join a call with a rack integrator on why a high-volume configuration keeps failing first-pass test. You write clear updates for leadership and turn this week's manual fixes into next week's automated workflow. Expect regular travel between Seattle and the Bay Area, as well as to supplier and integrator sites, mostly in Asia.
About the team
NPD Interconnects handles product development for the optics, copper and fiber that link AWS networks, from early engineering through NPI and volume production. We work closely with the NPD switch and software teams, Global Supply Management, fabric and deployment teams, and our manufacturing partners worldwide. We value strong partnerships, mechanisms over good intentions, and a "trust, but verify" approach to the data we rely on.

You'll run them on a regular cadence with our partners and improve them as you learn. Once a process has proven itself, you will help turn it into durable tooling.
Key job responsibilities
- Drive the end-to-end program for interconnect products (optical modules, DAC/AEC, fiber and structured cabling) from forecast to delivery, and report progress and risks to NPD and Networking leadership through a regular business review.
- Act as the primary interface between Supply Chain, vendors and NPD engineering. Translate engineering constraints into supply implications and supply constraints into engineering decisions.
- Coordinate technical review of significant forecast changes (product mix or volume) with engineering and Supply Chain before they are shared with suppliers.
- Help keep long-range capacity commitments and short-range build signals distinct. Raise it early when an execution signal risks undoing a long-lead commitment (DSPs, lasers, PCBs, raw fiber materials, line capacity).
- Partner with engineering and Supply Chain to keep BOM and allocation data consistent, so sub-tier requirements line up across commodity managers.
- Run scenario analyses (for example a 50% demand increase or decrease) with Supply Chain and engineering to show where commitments break across components and sub-tiers, and help teams agree on the response.
- Work with vendors and Supply Chain to track supplier commitments and de-commitments for critical sub-tier parts
- Drive a weekly clear-to-build (CTB) review with vendors and Supply Chain that combines component availability against the build plan, escalates shortfalls early and handles excess inventory without stopping the line.
- Track capacity KPIs with our vendors. Work with engineering and site teams to validate capacity constraints when the data doesn't line up.
- Coordinate with Supply Chain and deployment teams on inventory at VMI hubs and rack integrators, so production plans reflect where finished units can actually go.
- Support rack integration improvements with engineering and integrators: rack portfolio standardization, production-readiness validation for new rack designs, first-pass yield, test time and the time from PO to start of assembly.
- Use AI tools and agents every day to automate data gathering, reconcile vendor and Supply Chain data, generate status reports and catch issues early.
- Build AI-assisted workflows that cut manual spreadsheet work for engineers and Supply Chain partners, and share what works across the team.
- Write requirements and work with software teams to turn proven processes and AI-assisted workflows into durable tools.

Technical Manager Jobs in Cupertino: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a technical manager job in Cupertino?
Focus your search on Cupertino's consumer electronics giants, chip design firms, and enterprise software companies clustered along De Anza Boulevard and in Vallco Business Park. Candidates with hands-on engineering backgrounds who can credibly lead cross-functional hardware and software teams stand out most here. Demonstrating experience shipping physical or integrated products, not just software, gives you a concrete edge in this market.
Which companies hire technical managers in Cupertino?
Employers hiring technical managers in Cupertino right now include Apple, Amazon Web Services, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Cupertino's employer base skews heavily toward large consumer electronics companies and their direct suppliers, meaning most openings sit inside mature, structured engineering organizations with multi-layered product lines.
Are there remote technical manager jobs in Cupertino?
Yes, though with significant limits, since most technical manager roles in Cupertino involve hardware, lab access, or on-site team leadership that requires regular in-person presence. About 75% of technical manager openings tied to Cupertino are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to cluster in program management and software-focused engineering management rather than hardware development or manufacturing operations.
How can I get a technical manager job in Cupertino with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a technical lead or senior individual contributor role at one of Cupertino's mid-size hardware or software firms, then stepping into a people-management position as the team grows. Cupertino's supplier ecosystem and smaller chip design shops are more willing to develop first-time managers than the largest consumer electronics employers, which generally require proven management experience before hiring externally.
Which industries hire the most technical managers in Cupertino?
The sectors hiring the most technical managers in Cupertino are Consulting & Professional Services, Retail, and Staffing & Recruiting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Cupertino's concentration of vertically integrated hardware and software development, anchored by large consumer electronics campuses, means demand for technical managers stays broad and persistent across both product and platform teams.
