Amazon has a different approach than I've seen others take. Opening a product manager position in HW Engineering.

The Product Manager is responsible for the discovery and aggregation of new and emerging technologies in our industries. They collaborate with our engineering staff to define and deliver new server designs for use by all Amazon.com and AWS services. They manage the technical relationships with the key players in our vendor ecosystem, and own the development and execution of our business metrics.

The job is in this group.

The Amazon Hardware & Operating System Engineering team, within the Infrastructure group, provides the server platform for our innovative web service and e-commerce technology platforms. This platform is industry-leading in terms of frugality and operational excellence, and is critical to the success of the AWS business and the thousands of customers who use utility computing today.
