Sr. Infrastructure Capacity Program Manager, NPI

CoreWeave • Sunnyvale, CA

2d • $157,000 - $210,000

About The Position

CoreWeave is seeking an experienced Sr. Infrastructure Capacity Program Manager, NPI, to serve as the infrastructure capacity partner for Hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) and Engineering Operations teams. The role tracks data center infrastructure hardware roadmaps, determines ordering cut-over points, and communicates scope and Bill of Materials (BOM) requirements to Capacity, Supply Chain, Construction, and Execution teams so new hardware programs enter the fleet on schedule and outgoing hardware is retired cleanly.

The role manages infrastructure readiness for NPI programs, including cross-functional workstreams, milestones, risks, and readiness across power, cooling, network, and space. It represents Infrastructure Capacity at weekly NPI data-center planning meetings and carries decisions, risks, and action items to affected teams. The position also partners with Hardware NPI teams to assess whether existing site designs can support new product generations and define infrastructure scaling changes where required.

The program manager plans infrastructure impacts of cooling and power architecture transitions, supports rack-level power, cooling, and networking hardware programs, and collaborates with equipment OEMs, DC Design and Network Engineering, Supply Chain, and Construction. It maintains documentation of roadmaps, end-of-life schedules, cut-over decisions, BOM handoffs, and lifecycle-management decisions; resolves planning challenges; and monitors industry developments relevant to NPI planning.

The base salary range is $157,000 to $210,000. The starting salary depends on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location. Total rewards include a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and benefits, subject to eligibility. The position requires access to export-controlled information, so applicants must meet the stated U.S. export-control eligibility conditions.

Requirements

• Typically 5 or more years of experience in data-center infrastructure planning, hardware NPI, or a related engineering or program role within large-scale data-center or cloud environments.
• Technical knowledge of data-center infrastructure sufficient to engage credibly in discussions about GPUs, CPUs, Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs), power hardware, and cooling infrastructure; hardware design expertise is not required.
• Strong program or project management skills, including driving cross-functional workstreams, tracking milestones and risks, holding teams accountable to dates, and managing concurrent NPI programs.
• Demonstrated experience partnering with hardware or product engineering teams to translate new product requirements into infrastructure, facility, or site plans, including defining scope and BOM handoffs to downstream teams.
• Experience determining or supporting hardware ordering cut-over decisions, balancing lead times, EOL timing, and deployment schedules.
• Solid understanding of data-center power, cooling, and network infrastructure principles and how new hardware generations and cooling architecture transitions affect site capacity and design.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to interpret complex technical information and make data-driven decisions.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to represent Infrastructure Capacity in cross-functional meetings and translate technical details for non-technical stakeholders and vice versa.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Applicants must meet the job posting's stated eligibility conditions for access to U.S. export-controlled information.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in cloud hardware or data-center infrastructure, ideally spanning compute (GPU/CPU), power, cooling, and network hardware.
• Formal program/project management training or certification, such as PMP, or equivalent stage-gate/NPI program management experience.
• Hands-on experience with liquid-cooling architecture transitions, such as air-cooled to in-rack CDU to remote or centralized CDU, in a data center or similar critical-facility environment.
• Experience supporting rack-level hardware programs, such as rack power/cooling controller or management modules and liquid-cooling valve/manifold assemblies, from an infrastructure planning perspective.
• Familiarity with EOL/EOSL management practices for power, cooling, or network equipment.
• Proficiency with capacity-planning, roadmap-tracking, or project-management tools, such as DCIM platforms or project/portfolio tracking software.

Responsibilities

• Track infrastructure hardware NPI roadmaps and transition schedules across power, cooling, and network, providing Infrastructure Capacity with visibility into upcoming deployments and retirements.
• Determine ordering cut-over points between outgoing and incoming hardware for each site or program, considering lead times, end-of-life risks, and deployment timing.
• Communicate scope and Bill of Materials (BOM) requirements to Capacity, Supply Chain, Construction, and Execution teams.
• Represent Infrastructure Capacity in weekly NPI data-center planning meetings and relay decisions, risks, and action items to relevant teams.
• Manage infrastructure readiness for NPI hardware programs by driving cross-functional workstreams, tracking milestones and risks, and ensuring power, cooling, network, and space readiness before target ship or deployment dates.
• Partner with Hardware NPI teams to translate new GPU, CPU, power, and cooling product designs into data-center infrastructure requirements at scale; assess existing site designs and define necessary infrastructure scaling changes.
• Plan infrastructure impacts of power and cooling architecture transitions, translating them into power, space, and facility requirements for Design, Capacity, Supply Chain, and Construction.
• Support readiness planning for rack-level power and cooling control hardware and high-density, liquid-cooled networking and switch-rack designs, from prototypes and pilots through fleet-wide rollout.
• Collaborate with Hardware NPI teams, equipment OEMs, DC Design and Network Engineering, Supply Chain, and Construction to align NPI timelines with site plans, procurement lead times, and CapEx/OpEx budgeting.
• Maintain documentation of NPI roadmaps, EOL schedules, cut-over decisions, scope/BOM handoffs, and lifecycle-management decisions.
• Identify and resolve planning challenges when hardware requirements exceed site capabilities or cut-over timing is at risk; escalate trade-offs affecting delivery timelines.
• Monitor emerging compute, power, cooling, and network hardware roadmaps and NPI/lifecycle-management practices, incorporating relevant advancements into the company's planning process.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance paid 100% by CoreWeave for the described US-based full-time employee offering.
• Company-paid life insurance.
• Voluntary supplemental life insurance.
