Flight crew reported deviating from an altitude restriction on the TECKY1 departure from sjc. Chart ...

Narrative:

Departing sjc; clearance gave us the TECKY1 RNAV departure. Upon reviewing the departure and reading the 30R initial climb instructions; we had put in the routing instruction altitude of FL190. Our failure came primarily because of the assumption that waypoint sptns was an 'at or above 5;000 feet' altitude as opposed to 'cross at' altitude.we were in IMC conditions after rotation and were being bounced around a bit by a 767 heavy wake that departed in front of us; and that kind of flustered us. Other than that; conditions were calm.the altitude deviation was exacerbated by the pilot flying making the assumption that we were under class B airspace and could only fly at 200 knots; so the aircraft being relatively light and at full power was climbing at well over 3;000 feet per minute. When tower handed us off to departure; I did check in verbally that we were 2;000 feet climbing FL190. Within 3 minutes after departure; ATC told us to stop climb at around 7;000 feet and not to climb until passing waypoint sptns. I do believe that a transition to a faster climb speed would have probably made us cross sptns at 5000 feet.I did manage to call norcal ATC when we arrived. They did say that this is a new departure with the restrictions and are experiencing some growing pains with it. I guess my first suggestion would be to have clearance assign the initial altitude. My other suggestion would be to put an alert box with the information sign on the TECKY1 like they have on the SJC9 departure plate. That is very easy to see and quickly identify. The SJC9 also has the maintain altitude at 5;000 feet and then also in bold letters. This would be very helpful print on the TECKY1.the TECKY1 RNAV is a very simple looking departure and I think that CRM was lagging a bit because of that as well. As pilots I think we are a little more paranoid when we see many step climbs and altitude restrictions on departure or arrival plates. In retrospect I think both pilots should have read the departure out loud.
