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.
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. This includes bringing together the best of Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users across the world.
Responsibilities
- Define, drive, and own the overall mechanical and electro-mechanical component development process from concept to launch for new Google hardware products.

- Drive mechanical design reviews with cross-functional teams and tool releases for all mechanical components in the product.
- Develop, maintain, and communicate key focus points and next steps with engineering, vendors, operations, quality, and management. Improve and maintain processes that ensure team members have what they need to understand and execute on all objectives.
- Identify risks, develop mitigation strategies and facilitate conflict resolution. Drive failure analysis and triage for issues. Synthesize large amounts of data into a clear story and communicate to stakeholders and organizations at all levels.
