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.
Responsibilities
- Partner closely with Battery Cell and Pack Engineers, Supplier Development and Quality Engineers, System Technical Program Managers and a broad cross-functional team to manage the development and validation of the batteries used on Google Home and Health products.
- Interface with engineers across Hardware (HW), Software (SW), Systems Development Engineer (SDE) and GSM teams, to estimate work efforts, define milestones and manage resources. Track progress, resolve dependencies, evaluate risks and communicate status to senior management and project stakeholders.
- Remove obstacles to drive momentum and progress. Identify communication gaps, manage issue escalations and provide support to teams balancing competing priorities.
- Understand technical implementation at the architecture level and propose technical alternatives when necessary.
- Establish clear processes to help scale execution; identify systemic problems and recommend solutions.
