About The Job

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the street or across the globe. As a Program Manager at Google, you’ll lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish — working with stakeholders to plan requirements, manage project schedules, identify risks, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company. Your projects will often span offices, time zones, and hemispheres. It’s your job to coordinate the players and keep them up to date on progress and deadlines.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

As an Engineering Project Specialist in the Fitbit team, you will be a key member partnering with cross-functional Engineering teams to bring new hardware products to production. You will ensure that engineering requirements are captured and built into configurations throughout the development product life cycle. You will thrive in the fast paced and time sensitive environment of new hardware development and will offer flexibility and organization within the chaos. This includes managing project asset delivery schedules, identifying risks, and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders.

Fitbit’s wide range of innovative products, including smartwatches, trackers, and a smart scale, help people lead healthier, more active lives by empowering them with data, inspiration, and guidance to reach their health and fitness goals. Coupled with our leading software and Fitbit Premium, our immersive platform experience delivers personalized experiences, insights, and guidance to support our users’ health and wellness. Fitbit’s mission has always been to help make everyone in the world healthier and now, as part of Google we’ll be able to make health even more accessible to everyone.

Responsibilities

• Lead asset management build readiness meeting with Contract Manufacturing to drive ship to file (S2F) and allocation deliverables.
• Manage product labeling and build documentation. Maintain product allocation database and work with Contract Manufacturing, Logistics, and Distribution teams to ensure timely distribution to all product groups.
• Analyze and balance inventory asset to ensure and minimize risk for the Engineering team’s testing/development.
