Are you energized by the challenge of executing complex hardware deployments across Amazon's robotics network? The RTS Process Engineering team is looking for a Technical Infrastructure Program Manager (TIPM) to drive retrofit execution across our fielded fleet of autonomous robotics systems. In this role, you will own the end-to-end delivery of hardware modification and firmware update programs across active fulfillment centers, ensuring safety-critical retrofits, supplier quality resolutions, and product upgrades are completed on time and to specification.

You will manage programs from intake through site execution — coordinating material procurement, site scheduling, third-party vendor oversight, and post-installation verification. Your work directly protects the availability and safety of robotics systems that power Amazon's fulfillment network, making you a critical link between engineering teams who design improvements and the field teams who implement them at scale.

Key job responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution of assigned retrofit programs: intake, funding approval, material procurement, site scheduling, vendor coordination, installation tracking, and post-execution verification
• Manage retrofit project schedules across multiple active fulfillment centers, driving on-time completion rate and on-time material delivery to sites
• Coordinate with third-party vendor partners to ensure quality execution standards are met consistently across all retrofit installations
• Partner with product engineering, supply chain, and field operations teams to resolve dependencies, remove blockers, and maintain critical path alignment
• Track and report program status, risks, and escalations to leadership using established metrics frameworks and reporting cadences
• Develop and maintain retrofit execution documentation including site-specific plans, quality check templates, and post-installation verification criteria
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives including automation of program management workflows (project creation, critical path mapping, stakeholder notifications)

A day in the life
Your morning starts with a portfolio status check — confirming material deliveries, reviewing site schedules, and flagging risks. You join a cross-functional sync with product engineering to align on an upcoming safety-critical retrofit. After lunch, you lead a quality review call with a vendor partner who completed installations at three sites, verifying inspection criteria were met. You close the day updating critical paths and preparing a program health brief for leadership.
