Technical Program Manager, Hardware Systems

Anthropic trains and serves frontier AI models on some of the largest accelerator fleets in the world, and is building custom hardware systems from the package boundary out through boards, racks, interconnect, power, cooling, and the datacenter interface. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to own execution of these hardware systems from concept through production deployment, driving the program that turns architecture and specs into boards and racks that ship.

• Own the integrated hardware systems program plan across board, chassis, rack, and interconnect — from requirements through EVT/DVT/PVT, qualification, and production ramp.
• Drive execution with ODMs, contract manufacturers, and component/optics vendors: SOWs, build schedules, deliverable tracking, factory readiness, and escalation.
• Stand up and run the NPI cadence — build matrix, engineering reviews, DFx, issue triage, exit criteria.
• Drive bring-up and validation for new platforms: lab and pilot-rack logistics, firmware/BMC/diagnostics coordination, test coverage, reliability and telemetry targets.
• Own interfaces with silicon, datacenter, infrastructure software, and supply chain teams.
• Run partner and technology evaluations and land build / buy / co-design recommendations.
• Own program communication upward and outward, and develop AI-assisted approaches to hardware program management.

• 8+ years in hardware systems / NPI program management for compute, networking, storage, or accelerator platforms.
• Direct ownership of at least one platform from concept through volume production.
• Working technical fluency across the hardware stack — power delivery, thermal, mechanical, high-speed interconnect, board design, system management.
• Experience managing ODMs/CMs and component vendors, including SOW negotiation, build tracking, quality escapes, and escalation.
• Track record of standing up program mechanisms on a new or early-stage hardware effort.
• Strong written communication and comfort operating with high autonomy.

• Experience with AI/ML accelerator systems (GPU, TPU, custom ASIC), HPC, or hyperscale datacenter platforms.
• Experience taking a first-generation, custom-silicon-based system from bring-up through fleet deployment.
• Experience with liquid-cooled and/or high-density rack architectures, rack level high power distribution, or optical interconnect programs.
• Familiarity with the chip-package-system interface and coordinating with a silicon team.
• Experience with datacenter integration, deployment, and fleet-scale reliability/RAS programs.
• Practical experience using AI tools in your own workflow.
• BS/MS in EE, CE, ME, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Annual Salary: $365,000—$435,000 USD.
