Jobs in Palo Alto, CA

About the role

As a Technical Program Manager for GPU and Data Center Deployments, you will own end-to-end program delivery for bringing data center infrastructure and AI clusters online. You will operate in a highly ambiguous environment, coordinating across construction, infrastructure, networking, systems engineering, procurement, and operations — driving execution from planning through operational handoff. This is an ownership role. You will be expected to move programs forward with incomplete information, surface and resolve gaps before they become blockers, and hold multiple workstreams accountable across time zones and organizational boundaries. The best candidates bring deep experience at the intersection of data center construction handover and AI/GPU hardware deployment. You know how construction sequences impact infrastructure readiness, how ICT and CDU work intersect, and how to drive multi-threaded bring-up programs spanning hardware, networking, power, and cooling.

What you'll bring

• 5+ years of experience delivering complex data center physical infrastructure programs or large-scale GPU/AI cluster deployments in fast-moving environments.
• Demonstrated experience bridging construction handover and cluster deployment — candidates who are network-only or construction-only will not be a fit.
• GPU cluster deployment and activation
• Full-stack secure AI factory deployment across compute, networking, storage, and security layers
• Ability to read, interpret, and operationalize highly technical customer and vendor specifications
• Strong understanding of AI/GPU infrastructure including power density, cooling (CDU/DLC), networking, and deployment sequencing.
• Familiarity with how construction, low-voltage, and commissioning activities affect deployment readiness and sequencing.
• Proven ability to lead through influence — you don't own the execution teams, but you are accountable for delivery outcomes.
• Proven ability to manage vendor and contractor relationships, including understanding schedule and reputational risks.
• Ability to develop and present executive-level program status, risk summaries, and key decisions to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills — able to ensure teams at all levels understand priorities and dependencies.
• Relentlessly resourceful: you thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and drive execution beyond your defined scope without being directed to do so.
