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 Technical Program Manager for the Quantum AI team, you usher complex, multi-disciplinary quantum computing projects through the entire project lifecycle using your engineering expertise and organizational skills. You will work with hardware system integration stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks, manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the organization. You are proactive in driving teams to meet deadlines, track progress, and manage outside vendors and collaborators.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
