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.

Behind all of Google’s user-facing apps, sites, and services are data centers full of hardware and software developed by the Technical Infrastructure team. As a Technical Program Manager for Silicon Development, you will lead the development and execution of complex, multidisciplinary SoC projects. You will plan programs and manage their execution from early concept through development to tapeout and production. You will collaborate closely with architecture, design, verification, physical implementation, and manufacturing teams throughout the SoC execution lifecycle. This includes making technical decisions for the chip designs and methodology, driving project schedules, identifying risks and communicating them to all stakeholders, and managing partner teams.

Google Cloud accelerates every organization’s ability to digitally transform its business and industry.
