Description

Amazon Lab126 is an inventive research and development company that designs and engineers high-profile consumer electronics. Lab126 began in 2004 as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., originally creating the best-selling Kindle family of products. Since then, we have produced devices like Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo and Amazon Show. The Amazon Devices group delivers delightfully unique Amazon experiences, giving customers instant access to everything, digital or physical.

As a Sr. Technical Program Manager, you will engage with an experienced cross-disciplinary staff to conceive and design innovative consumer products. We are looking for someone with consumer electronics savvy and a proven track record of shipping commercially successful connected devices with good customer experiences. This is a highly technical role requiring experience with hardware development. You will have significant influence over the design and the test approach we take to develop the product. You will be responsible for capturing, documenting, and communicating requirements throughout all stages of the product family's lifecycle. The right candidate will possess a strong technical and program management background, and will have a well-rounded technical background in consumer electronics.

The role also involves scoping and delivering large projects end-to-end, collecting requirements, writing specifications, and coordinating design/implementation efforts. Ideally, you possess a strong program management background, demonstrated experience leading medium to large projects, and a well-rounded technical proficiency in consumer electronic products. A Sr. TPM anticipates bottlenecks, uses great judgment to make trade-offs, and balances the business needs with technical constraints. Your ability to understand the big picture of the project design and anticipate and plan dependencies is crucial. Your ability to take complex projects, break them into manageable pieces, and deliver timely results is invaluable.
