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. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs in product development with engineers.

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 a Technical Program Manager for Silicon Development, you will use your technical and management experience to lead the development and execution of complex, multidisciplinary SoC projects. You will plan programs and manage their execution from early concepts through development to tape-out and production. You will collaborate closely with architecture, design, verification, physical implementation and manufacturing teams throughout the SoC execution life cycle. 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.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.

Responsibilities

• Plan, coordinate, and deliver custom silicon products.

• Lead the data-driven schedules and milestones, track the progress, proactively identify potential future issues, and identify mitigations with the team leaders.
• Drive technical, budgetary, and schedule trade-off discussions with cross-functional teams.
• Manage project execution and issues through design, development, test, manufacturing, deployment and sustaining activities for silicon and hardware products.
