As a Principal Customer Services Program Manager within the Service Operations organization, you will lead end-to-end execution of large-scale service programs for GPU-accelerated compute platforms and advanced networking technologies across global server facilities. You will manage day-to-day operations including incident management, warranty delivery, hardware replacement strategies, and infrastructure upgrades such as firmware rollouts and system refreshes. This role requires coordinating between product engineering, field service, supply chain, and customer operations to ensure systems remain performant in live production environments. Key requirements include a degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or Network Engineering and over 15 years of experience in hyperscale or cloud data center environments. You will utilize tools like Salesforce for operational insights while managing complex logistics, spares planning, and NPI-to-production transitions to solve critical serviceability challenges within large-scale AI deployments and infrastructure fleets.

What you'll do

  • Lead end-to-end execution of large-scale service programs for GPU and networking platforms in production data centers.
  • Manage in-field service operations including incident management, warranty delivery, and scalable hardware replacement strategies.
  • Coordinate infrastructure upgrades, firmware rollouts, and retrofit programs across AI deployments.
  • Align service strategies with hyperscale customer requirements for rack 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 including spares planning, repair workflows, and global logistics coordination.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for hyperscale customers to resolve field blocking issues and improve partnerships.
  • Develop runbooks, training materials, and standardized processes to enable global field and regional teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, or Network Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong program management expertise including planning, execution, risk management, and delivery of complex technical programs.
  • 15+ years of experience supporting hyperscale or cloud data center environments with compute infrastructure and network technologies.
  • Experience leading production data center activities such as hardware installation, rack setup, and cluster initialization.
  • Proven track record supporting GPU-based compute platforms and large-scale networking infrastructure in live environments.
  • Demonstrated experience in field service operations including incident management and large-scale hardware replacement.
  • Experience leading large retrofit, upgrade, and refresh programs across distributed infrastructure fleets.
  • Knowledge of service logistics, spares planning, and global supply chain coordination.
