l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday

Don't worry about getting work, just start learning their systems and code base. You can always watch for code reviews, pair program, or check the backlog for up-coming work and start exploring the code.
Do they have a tech-debt backlog? Those are always fun...

Go through and do some dirty work for the team. Update all the docs, clean up all the warnings, automate more of the build and publish steps, create a database seeder, clean up a tricky part of the code. While these activities are mostly not senior level work, it will be work that will help everyone on the team. Harder work will come with time.
Have you ever thought that your haven't seen the full optics of your role?
Speak to management and make sure your properly aligned with their current expectations of you.
Remember no one is going to set you up for failure. They may be starting you at a slow pace to allow a less stressful transition.
Just keep plugging away. Rome wasn't built in a day.
Have you tried talking to your boss about what other things you can take on? I have been in that situation before and went to my manager who was able to give me more things to work on to fill the project requirments.
I suggest being somewhat assertive of your wants. It doesn't mean you'll get it right away. Not in an ultimatum way, but let it be known what are your desires and the abilities you have.
Start adding letters ro your name. SME, SCRUM master, etc. Use time for practice development. If you have to account for your time doing client work, concentrate on doing thanks that add to your ownership and make you a resource to others. Acting as consultant to others doing client work is also billable client work.
Focus on the areas where you haven't worked yet in your career. Learn things that you haven't learned in past. I always believe there is always a new set of things to learn and move forward.
This is a common problem, esp in larger companies. Take some time to study what is being done and where any gaps are. They hired you for a reason and for your skillset, you just have to find out where you can contribute.
Mentor the mid and junior level engineers - hopefully at least one of them will have an interest in your specific area of expertise. I always felt better about my job when I was teaching others - and then you can also move on to other, more interesting projects/positions when you can say "X can handle that part of the job; I've been teaching him/her while we've been working together on it, and he/she can handle it."
Another word for irreplaceable is unpromotable - do you want to be the guy who does "that thing" for the rest of your career? I always wanted to be learning something else, so I trained anybody who had an interest how to do what I was currently doing so I could move on to the next new language/project/whatever.
I’ve found many even very talented engineers want the power, control, and job security of owning their piece of the pie. This is usually endorsed by management.
