Technical Program Manager, Central Test Engineering

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.

In this role, you will be managing the operations-side of projects from initial build through to ramp. You will be at the forefront of operations communication with cross-functional teams in the development of new products. You will be well-versed in Contract Manufacturing (CM)/Original Design Manufacturing (ODM) manufacturing environments and will lead a team to ensure products are designed and built with high standards.
