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.

Your primary mission will be to lead the software programs that enable the development, bring-up, and large-scale deployment of our next-generation platforms. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring a blend of deep technical understanding and program management. You will navigate the complexities of system software, firmware, and production fleet integration to ensure our AI hardware is performant, stable, and ready for global scale.
