About The Job

Google’s projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You’re equally at home explaining your team’s analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.

Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.

As a Module Technical Program Manager, you will work closely with Engineers, Product Managers, and Contract Manufacturers (CMs)/Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs)/Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to get high-quality products built, tested and released on time.

You will bridge the gap between critical technologies and the top-level system, coordinating many fast-changing, moving parts that come together as a product. You possess excellent communication skills and can answer all questions about schedules, quality and progress updates. You will be responsible for identifying and managing risks, making sound judgments about quality, and stopping, or speeding up production at the right time.

The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics.
