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.

As part of Google’s mission to make health and technology accessible to everyone, the Pixel Watch Product Operations team is seeking a motivated and experienced Senior Manufacturing Engineer to join our expanding product development organization.

In this role, your mission is to partner closely with design engineering to drive and guide early hardware design decisions and to collaborate effectively with manufacturing partners and equipment providers to develop robust, efficient, and cost‑effective high‑volume assembly processes. You will be involved in the entire product development lifecycle, from architecture selection to assembly process creation to final factory implementation and qualification, ensuring we deliver industry‑leading smartwatches to users worldwide.
