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.

As a part of the Android XR Demo Team, your aim is to deliver demo experiences to internal and external stakeholders. You will showcase how Android XR devices are an optimal form factor for the conversational Gemini Era with Multimodal AI, designed to power a suite of XR devices ranging from fully immersive headsets to everyday, AI glasses. You will bring these experiences to internal and external stakeholders at events, conferences, trade shows, partner meetings, press engagements and more.

For decades, the computing revolution has reshaped our world driven by breakthrough in compute, connectivity, mobile, and now, AI. Google's XR team is at the forefront of the next major leap – the convergence of AI and XR. This is more than just new devices – it's about reimagining how we interact with the world around us. We're building a future where lightweight XR devices like smart glasses and headsets pair with helpful AI to augment human intelligence, offering personalized, conversational, and contextually aware experiences.
