About Supermicro:
Supermicro® is a Top Tier provider of advanced server, storage, and networking solutions for Data Center, Cloud Computing, Enterprise IT, Hadoop/ Big Data, Hyperscale, HPC and IoT/Embedded customers worldwide. We are the #5 fastest growing company among the Silicon Valley Top 50 technology firms. Our unprecedented global expansion has provided us with the opportunity to offer a large number of new positions to the technology community. We seek talented, passionate, and committed engineers, technologists, and business leaders to join us.
Job Summary:
Supermicro is seeking an experienced Sr. Technical Program Manager to join our Solution Architecture team as the program management lead for our strategic partner solution programs. This is a solution program management role at its core: you will own the operating model, governance, and execution discipline that turn joint solution strategy with our key technology partners into predictable, well-run programs — from concept and reference architecture through validation, qualification, and customer deployment.
Working hand in hand with Solution Architects, you are the single point of program accountability across the solution lifecycle. You set the program plan and cadence, manage scope and dependencies, drive risks and decisions to closure, and keep architects, partners, sales, operations, and the factory aligned to one set of commitments. You bring the structure — intake, prioritization, milestones, change control, and reporting — that lets a portfolio of solution programs run on time and at scale.
This is a high-visibility role requiring strong program-management craft, solution and infrastructure fluency, commercial awareness, and the ability to run complex, partner-facing programs in a fast-paced environment. This role is based at our headquarters in San Jose, CA.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Own solution program management end to end — lead the full lifecycle of strategic partner solution programs, from intake and scoping through reference architecture, validation, qualification, deployment, and scale, with clear ownership of timeline, scope, and outcomes.
- Define and run the program operating model — establish the planning rhythm, working cadences, decision forums, RACI, and stage gates that keep each program and the overall portfolio moving predictably.
- Manage scope, schedule, and dependencies — build and maintain integrated program plans, milestones, critical paths, and cross-team dependency maps; protect commitments through disciplined change control.
- Drive risk, issue, and decision management — proactively surface risks and blockers, run them to closure with clear owners and dates, and escalate with the right context at the right time.
