Technical Program Manager - Compute Storage

Overview

Drive execution-oriented new product introduction (NPI) for enterprise compute and storage hardware, overseeing the process from concept to production launch. This technical program management (TPM) role emphasizes leadership of cross-disciplinary engineering teams, expert guidance in hardware validation phases, and strictly onsite delivery in high-stakes hardware development.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end NPI execution for compute server and storage hardware programs, ensuring successful delivery from initial design to production launch.
• Manage cross-functional (XFN) teams, coordinating with thermal, mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering stakeholders.
• Plan and oversee DVT (Design Validation Test) and EVT (Engineering Validation Test) phases, ensuring all hardware components meet requirements and specifications.
• Identify and resolve program risks, driving teams to maintain aggressive timelines and execution focus.
• Serve as the primary TPM interface for status reporting, issue escalation, and cross-team alignment throughout the NPI lifecycle.
• Establish and execute schedules, milestones, and deliverables with an emphasis on onsite presence and direct stakeholder engagement.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of technical program management experience in compute servers, data center hardware, or storage system development.
• Technical understanding of server hardware components (processors, memory, storage, power, thermal management, etc.).
• Proven track record managing XFN hardware development teams through NPI, DVT, and EVT stages.
• Hands-on experience driving programs through hardware validation and toward mass production.
• Ability to operate independently and prioritize execution in fast-paced environments.
• Strong onsite coordination skills and willingness to work primarily in-office.
• Familiarity with supplier and manufacturing ramp-up processes for enterprise-scale hardware.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-density or hyperscale server architectures.
• Advanced knowledge of program execution tools (Jira, MS Project, Confluence, etc.).
• Prior involvement in thermal, mechanical, and electrical co-design for compute platforms.
• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
