A day in the life
Our TPMs work closely with key partners to innovate, create, manage, and deliver holistic programs, and ensure products are fully production ready at launch. “Production ready at launch” addresses requirements for a product to be viable for global deployment: approved financials, technical specifications and designs, supplier sourcing and qualification, testing, operations training, and similar requirements. We build and execute the plan that addresses requirements in these areas, resulting in a product or solution that is production ready for global deployment.


About the team
Within AWS Data Center Engineering, the Mechanical Products & Services team provides engineering expertise and design support for mechanical equipment in data centers globally. This includes support for new products and design features that address the mechanical cooling systems included in data center deployments. We own and support mechanical products throughout their lifecycle. Our scope also includes emergent global scale remediation strategic efforts that impact Data Center capacity or availability and introducing and driving business improvement initiatives increasing visibility and enabling data driven decision making.
