You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.

The Pixel Carrier team is responsible for carrier certification and type approvals for Pixel products, including technical feature planning, product ranging support, network certification testing, product performance and feature negotiation, and execution. The team interfaces with multiple cross-functional teams across tiers including engineering, product, business, partnerships, sales, quality, marketing, and operations. Google's Pixel Technical Carrier Relations team helps solve mobile technology problems. You will work with teams throughout Google to develop solutions for strategic partners around the globe.
