Job Description:
Microsoft’s Silicon, Cloud Hardware, and Infrastructure Engineering (SCHIE) designs and delivers the hardware platforms that power Azure’s global cloud and AI services. As a Principal Platform Technical Program Manager, you will lead execution of next‑generation accelerated AI computing systems—shaping early definition, aligning cross‑disciplinary teams, and ensuring platforms meet performance, reliability, and operational readiness requirements. You will connect compute, networking, firmware, power/cooling, and platform software into solutions that scale across Azure’s global footprint. In this role, you will guide programs from early engineering development through validation, New Product Introduction (NPI), pilot deployment, and fleet-level readiness. You will drive disciplined, cross-functional execution across internal engineering teams, technology partners, and global manufacturing and supply chain organizations—ensuring platforms are built, tested, and production-ready at scale. You will also partner closely with internal business and deployment stakeholders to inform program decisions, accelerate readiness milestones, and enable clean transitions into downstream deployment and operations, with a consistent emphasis on performance, reliability, and operational excellence for demanding AI workloads. This role is ideal for a technical leader who thrives in ambiguity and scale. You pair deep technical insight with strong program leadership—driving cross-team alignment, surfacing tradeoffs early, de-risking delivery through structured planning and mitigation, and communicating crisp status and decision asks. Your work improves execution confidence across Azure’s accelerated computing programs and helps deliver reliable, production-ready AI infrastructure for customers worldwide.
