You will be responsible for all aspects of a product's progress through the Product Life Cycle (PLC) process including identifying business needs and generating possible solutions, development of business case and ROI, product development, pilot testing, and eventual production deployment. You will require collaboration with the Platforms Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) team, stakeholder teams across Google, as well as contract manufacturers.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.
