Every day as a Technical Program Manager on the Technology Integration & Support team brings a dynamic mix of technical problem-solving, vendor collaboration, and cross-functional coordination. Here’s what a typical day looks like:
You start your morning by reviewing your Asana and Taskei dashboards to check the status of 4–5 active vendor onboarding projects. You flag any blockers — maybe a vendor’s network diagram needs revisions before it can be approved, or a Third-Party Security (TPS) assessment is awaiting InfoSec feedback. You prioritize your day around what will keep these projects moving forward.
By mid-morning, you’re leading a technical kick-off call with a new AGV vendor’s engineering team. You walk them through Amazon’s IT requirements — network standards, security protocols, IoT device certification — and outline the onboarding documentation they’ll need to complete. You answer their questions about VLAN configurations, WiFi 802.11ax connectivity, and mTLS requirements, translating Amazon’s standards into actionable steps for the vendor.
After lunch, you shift into hands-on technical work. You review a vendor’s submitted network diagram for compliance, configure VLAN assignments and static IPs for an upcoming pilot site, and generate PPSKs for wireless device connectivity. You coordinate with the local IT team on ACL port configurations and firewall rules that need to be deployed before the vendor’s equipment arrives on-site.
In the afternoon, you join a weekly coordination meeting for a multi-site robotics rollout. You provide updates on the technology integration workstream, review the Bill of Materials for the next site, and align with general contractors on network rack installation timelines. After the meeting, you draft a Vendor Technical Assessment report evaluating a new automation technology’s integration risk, network impact, and deployment readiness.
Throughout the day, you’re the single-threaded owner connecting the dots between vendors, site teams, IT security, legal, and program leadership. You might field an escalation from a European site team about a connectivity issue, submit an ANOW request for vendor network access, or update leadership on the health of your vendor onboarding pipeline. No two days are exactly the same, but every day centers on making sure the right technology gets integrated safely, securely, and on schedule.
