About the RoleMatX is building next-generation AI infrastructure systems for high-performance datacenter workloads. We are looking for a Senior
Platform TPM, Rack-Scale AI Systems to drive design-phase execution for our rack-scale platform. This role will coordinate cross-functional execution across rack architecture, accelerator board design, power delivery, thermal and liquid cooling, high-speed interconnect, firmware, diagnostics, test vehicles, system validation, and external CM/JDM partner engagement. You will work closely with Systems Engineering, hardware engineering, firmware, validation, supply chain, and external CM/JDM partners.
What You'll Do Here- Drive the integrated execution plan for rack and board design from architecture through design release.
- Own and maintain the design-phase master schedule across rack, board, power, thermal, interconnect, mechanical, firmware, diagnostics, validation, and supply-chain dependencies.
- Coordinate execution across key platform workstreams, including board electrical/SI/PI readiness, rack power, liquid cooling, cable/optical interconnect, BMC/telemetry, diagnostics, test vehicles, PLM/BOM/ECO readiness, and external CM/JDM design reviews.
- Partner with Systems Engineering to define design gates, risks, dependencies, decision points, and exit criteria.
- Track critical path items, schedule risks, owners, closure dates, and escalation paths.
- Coordinate design-readiness reviews, DFX reviews, and implementation-readiness reviews with internal teams and external CM/JDM partners.
- Drive readiness for system validation using test vehicles, including power, thermal, connectivity, diagnostics, instrumentation, telemetry, and validation planning.
- Maintain a live risk register covering design readiness, system validation readiness, power/thermal risks, interconnect risks, long-lead dependencies, and supply-chain risks.
- Ensure long-lead design dependencies are visible to supply chain, materials, and sourcing teams.
- Prepare executive-level updates covering milestone health, top risks, decisions needed, critical path, and resource gaps.
- Ensure validation learnings are captured, tracked, and incorporated into the platform execution plan.
Who you are - 8+ years of technical program management, hardware engineering program management, systems engineering, or hardware platform development experience.
- Experience managing complex hardware platforms through architecture, design, validation, and design release.
- Experience working across electrical, mechanical, thermal, firmware, validation, manufacturing, supply-chain, and external partner teams.
- Ability to drive schedules, dependency management, issue tracking, risk management, milestone governance, and executive-level communication.
- Experience coordinating design reviews and driving closure across cross-functional engineering teams.
- Working familiarity with several of the following areas: board design, power delivery, SI/PI, thermal design, liquid cooling, high-speed interconnect, firmware, diagnostics, rack integration, or system validation.
- Experience working with ODMs, JDMs, contract manufacturers, or external engineering/manufacturing partners.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to summarize technical risks, tradeoffs, decisions, and schedule impact.
- Proficiency with program-management and engineering collaboration tools such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, MS Project, Google Workspace, or equivalent.
Bonus Points If You Have- Experience with AI infrastructure, GPU/accelerator systems, datacenter racks, networking systems, storage systems, or high-power server platforms.
- Experience coordinating programs involving high-speed interconnects, liquid-cooled systems, telemetry, diagnostics, or rack-scale validation.
- Prior hands-on engineering experience in hardware, firmware, systems, manufacturing, validation, or a related technical field.
