Principal Technical Program Manager, Data Center Design Engineering - BIM & AI Technologies

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The AWS Data Center Design Engineering - BIM & AI Technologies team is seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager to drive the end-to-end delivery of AI-powered design automation programs for AWS's global data center infrastructure. In this role, you will own complex, cross-functional programs that bring generative AI capabilities to architects, engineers, construction managers, and facility operators, transforming how data center design documentation is created, validated, and delivered at scale.

You will work at the intersection of Building Information Modeling (BIM), generative AI, and cloud-based platforms, partnering with product managers, software engineers, applied scientists, and Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Ownership (AECO) domain experts to plan, execute, and launch programs that accelerate facility design workflows. You will translate ambiguous business and technical requirements into structured execution plans, drive cross-organizational alignment, and ensure AI-powered features maintain the high trust bar that engineering professionals demand. The ideal candidate combines deep technical program management expertise with the ability to navigate ambiguity, thrives in fast-paced environments, and is passionate about applying AI to real-world engineering challenges at unprecedented scale.
