Technical Program Manager III, Product Design, Pixel

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.

In this role, you will work closely with Engineers, Product Managers, and Original Design Manufacturer/Original Equipment Manufacturer (ODMs/OEMs) to get high-quality components and products built, tested, and released on time. You will coordinate in many changing moving parts and get them to come together as a product. You will be responsible for identifying and managing risks, making decisions about quality, and stopping (or speeding up) production at the right time.

The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering the world's most helpful mobile experience. The team works on shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in consumer electronics.
