TL;DR · Principal Customer Services Program Manager

The Principal Customer Services Program Manager joins the Service Operations organization to coordinate large-scale service operations for GPU-accelerated platforms across global server facilities. This execution-focused role involves leading end-to-end service programs, managing in-field incident responses, and overseeing hardware replacement strategies for field replaceable units. You will plan infrastructure upgrades, firmware rollouts, and retrofit programs for AI deployments while collaborating with product engineering and networking teams to embed serviceability principles into new products. Key responsibilities include managing NPI-to-production transitions, spares planning, and global logistics. Required expertise includes 15+ years supporting hyperscale or cloud data center environments, specifically with compute infrastructure and networking technologies. You must demonstrate proficiency in hardware installation, cluster initialization, and using tools like Salesforce to drive operational insights for live production environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead end-to-end execution of large-scale service programs for GPU-driven compute platforms across global production data centers.
  • Manage in-field service operations including incident management, warranty delivery, and scalable hardware replacement strategies.
  • Coordinate infrastructure upgrades, retrofit programs, firmware rollouts, and system refreshes for AI deployments.
  • Align service strategies with hyperscale customers regarding rack-level deployment, cluster expansion, and failure domain development.
  • Embed serviceability principles into products by collaborating with engineering, hardware, and networking teams.
  • Manage NPI-to-production transitions by ensuring readiness for spares, repair workflows, tooling, and global logistics.
  • Develop clear runbooks, training materials, and standardized processes to enable global field and regional teams.
  • Analyze operational data to drive efficiency and continuous service improvements across deployed systems.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or Network Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 15+ years of experience supporting hyperscale or cloud data center environments, including compute infrastructure and network technologies.
  • Proven experience leading production data center activities like hardware installation, rack setup, and cluster initialization.
  • Proven track record supporting GPU-based compute platforms and large-scale networking infrastructure in live environments.
  • Demonstrable experience in field service operations, including incident management and hardware replacement methods.
  • Experience leading large retrofit, upgrade, and refresh programs across distributed infrastructure fleets.
  • Solid understanding of service logistics, spares planning, and global supply chain coordination.
  • Experience working directly within hyperscale providers (preferred).
