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.

Android Auto is bringing the magic of Google into automotive. We are available in cars worldwide and projecting to grow by leaps and bounds this year in terms of features and user base. This role is at the center of the ecosystem of Android, phone manufacturers, automakers, and partners. If you like interesting problems in the growing connected mobile ecosystem and being empowered to fix them while improving the lives and safety of millions of users, this is the role for you.

In this role, you will be responsible for driving operational excellence, and ensuring our technical products adhere to the highest standards of quality and system performance. You will guide AI process innovation across our engineering workflows, advocating and deploying AI-driven tools, prompts, and automated telemetry systems to scale triage, accelerate root-cause resolution, and build the next generation of release readiness operations.

Automotive industry executives say there will be more change in their business in the next 5 years than they have seen in the last 50 years. The Android Auto team collaborates with vehicle manufacturers to develop and deliver on this massive opportunity, building on a proven embedded platform to create a leading Assistant-powered, navigation, entertainment, and communication vehicle system, which will be delivered to specialized people-moving devices.
