DESCRIPTION
Application deadline: Sep 29, 2026
AWS operates the world’s largest fleet of storage servers powering exabyte-scale cloud storage services. Our team designs, builds, and operates this fleet — solving systemic hardware issues and building systems that detect and prevent recurrence so customers experience the highest quality of service.
We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive end-to-end delivery of storage servers across our global fleet. You will coordinate cross-functional engineering teams spanning hardware, firmware, and software, manage ODM partnerships across multiple continents, and establish closed-loop quality systems that drive continuous improvements. This role requires technical depth to translate engineering constraints into program risk, combined with program management excellence to deliver complex hardware at global scale.
Key job responsibilities
RFP & ODM Selection:
Translate technical requirements into ODM evaluation criteria. Build scoring frameworks covering technical capability, manufacturing capacity, DFx maturity, automation capability, and commercial terms. Coordinate technical deep-dives between engineering and ODM design teams during competitive evaluation. Compile selection decision packages and drive decision meetings. Transition to NPI with requirements locked and statement of work signed.
NPI Program Delivery:
Facilitate requirements gathering with internal customers; develop Technical Requirements Documents (TRDs) covering server specs, rack configurations, PCIe topology, NVMe/SSD layout, power/cooling topology, and drive interconnects. Build program timelines with critical path analysis, risk identification, and milestone tracking. Own milestone-driven gate progression: manufacturing readiness, production readiness, operational readiness review, and general availability. Drive cross-functional dependencies across firmware, thermal, mechanical, and silicon teams. Communicate program status to leadership with clear reporting on milestone progress, risk posture, and mitigation plans.
Production Yield & Manufacturing Delivery
Own manufacturing readiness gates and production yield tracking from first build through volume ramp. Monitor first-pass yield by test stage, drive root cause analysis on excursions, and ensure corrective actions close before yield issues compound. Track ODM delivery cadence, line throughput, and supply chain continuity.
Fleet Operations & Feed-Forward:
Maintain fleet-level program visibility: AFR targets, unsellable resolution velocity, and component lifecycle risk. Own the feed-forward cadence — ensuring fleet failure patterns, manufacturing yield data, and vetting escapes translate into requirements and test content for next-generation programs.
Dashboards & Mechanisms
Build and own mechanisms for program visibility — defining metrics, dashboards, and review cadences that enable data-driven decisions and early risk detection. Define leading indicators: unsellable inflow/outflow rate, NPI milestone velocity, first-pass yield by test stage, and component lifecycle risk. Streamline delivery processes across teams; identify and eliminate dependencies, redundant gates, or coordination overhead that slow velocity.
Risk & Quality:
Challenge technical workstreams to surface risks early; quantify impact to schedule and reliability (annualized failure rate targets, availability SLAs) with proposed mitigations. Drive root cause analysis of fleet-wide hardware failures and ensure corrective actions flow back into qualification criteria and design requirements. Define acceptance criteria, coordinate qualification testing at server and rack levels, and manage go/no-go decisions for mission-critical storage services.

A day in the life
You start the day syncing with ODM partners across time zones on build status and open engineering actions. Mid-morning, you run an engineering review connecting firmware, software, and hardware teams to unblock a qualification gate. In the afternoon, you lead the weekly feed-forward review — translating fleet failure patterns into test content requirements for the next-generation program. You end the day reviewing NPI milestone readiness and updating the production yield dashboard before the ODM delivery cadence call.

Technical Services Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a technical services manager in Colorado?
The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or information technology followed by several years in a technical support or systems role before moving into management. Colorado has a large defense and aerospace sector where a Department of Defense security clearance significantly accelerates hiring. ITIL certification is widely recognized by Colorado technology and government contractors as a professional credential for this role. No state-issued license is required specifically for technical services managers in Colorado.
How much do technical services managers make in Colorado?
Technical services managers in Colorado earn a median of about $199,420 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $130,570 for the lowest 10% to over $293,250 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire technical services managers in Colorado?
Colorado technical services manager roles are posted by Esri, Vantor, and Stantec and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's concentration of aerospace, defense, and enterprise technology firms means the employer base is particularly deep along the Front Range corridor from Pueblo to Fort Collins.
Which Colorado cities have the most technical services manager jobs?
Denver, Lakewood, and Aurora have the most technical services manager openings in Colorado. Denver drives volume through its large enterprise technology and professional services firms, Colorado Springs benefits from an exceptional concentration of military installations and defense contractors like Northrop Grumman, and Boulder's research and clean-energy technology ecosystem generates consistent demand for technical leadership roles.
Are there remote technical services manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based roles because technical services managers often oversee on-site teams, vendor relationships, and physical infrastructure. About 100% of technical services manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting a hybrid-leaning middle ground. The portions of the role most likely to be performed remotely are vendor coordination, reporting, and strategic planning rather than hands-on service delivery oversight.
How can I get hired as a technical services manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into the role laterally from a senior technical support engineer, IT operations analyst, or field services technician position at a Colorado employer. Large Colorado defense and aerospace firms often run formal leadership development rotations for high-performing technical contributors. Earning an ITIL Foundation certification and leading a project team or mentoring junior staff in your current role builds a credible management record. Government agencies and Colorado municipalities also post technical supervisor roles that accept candidates with strong technical credentials but limited formal management titles.
Where can I find and apply to technical services manager jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to technical services manager jobs in Colorado directly on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, industry background, and preferred location, then apply to the ones that fit.
