About the role
Cerebras is seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead Data Center New Product Introduction (NPI), preparing new AI systems and infrastructure designs for deployment at scale. You will connect hardware and systems engineering with facility design, supply chain, networking, commissioning, and operations to turn technical requirements into a repeatable deployment approach.
What you'll do
- Own the cross-functional NPI plan for new system generations, rack configurations, and supporting infrastructure, tracking milestones, dependencies, and readiness criteria.
- Translate engineering specifications into deployment requirements covering power, cooling, space, rack layout, networking, cabling, installation, serviceability, and site interfaces.
- Drive design and readiness reviews to surface gaps between product design, facility capabilities, and operational requirements.
- Coordinate initial deployment and validation plans, including site readiness, equipment availability, installation sequencing, test coverage, and acceptance evidence.
- Maintain the integrated risk and issue register to resolve compatibility, quality, configuration, and schedule blockers.
- Lead change control across specifications, bills of materials, firmware and software dependencies, deployment procedures, and site requirements.
What you'll need
- Experience leading complex NPI, systems integration, hardware infrastructure, or deployment programs from early requirements through production or operational readiness.
- Track record of Staff-level program ownership across engineering and operations teams, resolving ambiguous requirements across organizational boundaries.
- Technical understanding of data center systems and the relationships among compute, networking, power, cooling, rack integration, and facility readiness.
- Experience defining readiness gates, validation plans, acceptance criteria, and issue resolution processes for new technology introductions.
- Demonstrated ability to manage configuration dependencies, engineering changes, critical paths, and technical risks across concurrent workstreams.
Nice to have
- Experience deploying AI accelerators, high-performance computing systems, high-density racks, or liquid-cooled infrastructure.
- Experience with initial site deployments, rack integrators, commissioning teams, and transitions from engineering validation to repeatable field execution.
- Familiarity with hardware product lifecycles, manufacturing readiness, reliability validation, and service operations.
