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 Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.

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.
In this role, you'll be the key interface between Carriers and the Pixel team, and drive product and platform releases. You'll coordinate with external teams and partner test labs, ensure all issues are tracked, and report back to internal test and development teams. You'll apply detailed technical knowledge of wireless standards to drive resolution to issues found during certification testing.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
