## About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Technical Program Manager (TPM) to support the Compute Space team. This role is ideal for someone who is driven, detail-oriented, organized, and ready to jump in to help manage and streamline operational and coordination activities across compute engineering, hardware development, and infrastructure planning teams. A go-getter attitude, high energy, and the ability to operate independently with minimal guidance are essential for success in this role.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of compute hardware and server environments and will be comfortable working across engineering, ODMs, suppliers, and internal infrastructure teams to drive complex hardware programs from development through production., * Go-getter attitude: High energy, self-motivated, and able to jump in with minimal guidance to get things done.

 * Passionate about learning new compute and hardware technologies.
 * Strong project management and project coordination skills.
 * Solid experience supporting complex hardware development programs through the NPI lifecycle.
 * Good working knowledge of compute platforms, server systems, and data center hardware environments.
 * Understanding of system-level compute architectures, including CPUs, GPUs, memory, networking, storage, and associated server components.
 * Exceptional attention to detail, ownership, and follow-through.
 * Comfortable taking on hands-on operational and coordination tasks to support the broader team.
 * Excellent communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
 * Ability to work effectively across engineering, operations, supply chain, ODM, and supplier organizations., * 10+ years of experience in technical program management, with a strong focus on system-level hardware and/or compute platform development.
 * Proven track record managing complex hardware development programs from concept through production.
 * Solid understanding of compute hardware design, system integration, bring-up, validation, and manufacturing processes.
 * Experience with compute platforms, server systems, or data center hardware is highly desirable.
 * Demonstrated experience with material planning, supply chain coordination, vendor/ODM management, and supporting high-volume production ramp-up.
 * Strong understanding of hardware NPI processes, including EVT, DVT, PVT, and Mass Production.
 * Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills with the ability to identify dependencies and drive issues to closure.
 * Ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
 * Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
 * Strong interpersonal and influencing skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams and communicate program status and risks to executive leadership.

## Description

* Drive materials, hardware, and program dependencies between component suppliers, ODMs, and internal engineering teams to ensure on-time deliveries through all hardware development phases: EVT (Engineering Validation Test), DVT (Design Validation Test), PVT (Production Validation Test), and MP (Mass Production).
 * Coordinate with cross-functional engineering teams, ODMs, and suppliers to support TPMs in executing multiple compute NPI programs. Manage team action items, dependencies, risks, and follow-ups to facilitate on-time program delivery.
 * Own and maintain SOT (Source of Truth) schedules from vendors and ODMs through the internal core team, providing regular updates during weekly program meetings.
 * Track key compute hardware milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and risks across development, validation, and production.
 * Format and maintain program documentation, dashboards, schedules, and status reports with guidance from TPMs.
 * Gather, consolidate, and communicate feedback and status from engineering teams for recurring updates to management and the broader organization.
 * Help identify and drive resolution of cross-functional issues impacting compute hardware development, system integration, validation, and production readiness.
 * Support day-to-day program execution, including action-item tracking, meeting coordination, status updates, and other hands-on activities required to keep programs on track and aligned.
 * Ensure key project documentation, schedules, milestones, and dependencies are accurate, current, and accessible to the broader team.
