Full Job Description
We have two distinct System Development Manager positions open — one leading the storage server team and one leading the AI/ML (GPU-based) accelerator server team. Because the core responsibilities, technical depth, and leadership expectations overlap significantly across both roles, we are accepting applications through this single posting. During the interview process, we will assess fit for both positions and align candidates to the team where their experience and interests are the strongest match. We are looking for a forward-thinking technical leader to manage a diverse, cross-functional team of Hardware Design Engineers, Systems Development Engineers, and Technical Program Managers responsible for developing storage or accelerated (AI/ML/GPU) server platforms for AWS. This is not a role for someone who manages from a distance. You will set the technical vision and architectural direction for next-generation server platforms — making bold bets on where storage or accelerated compute infrastructure needs to go — and then build and lead the team that delivers it. Your success is measured not just by launching hardware, but by driving fast instance adoption because you built the right thing for the customer. You will own the full lifecycle — design, build, test, deploy to the data center, launch, and fleet health beyond launch. You will lead a team of architects defining what we build next, an NPI team delivering it through build and test to the data center, and an operations-focused engineering team ensuring it runs reliably at scale long after launch. You will connect these functions into a single, cohesive organization that moves fast and delivers high-quality server platforms that customers want to adopt. You will work across organizational boundaries — with other AWS service teams to deeply understand customer workloads and translate that understanding into hardware architecture decisions. You will lead relationships with ODMs and design partners to develop a
