Google Hiring for Engineering Program Manager, Product Development, Google Pixel at Mountain View, CA Full Time

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.

Our goal is to build a Google that looks like the world around us — and we want Googlers to stay and grow when they join us. As part of our efforts to build a Google for everyone, we build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

As an Engineering Program Manager, you will work closely with engineers, product managers, and original design manufacturers/original equipment manufactures to get quality components and products built, tested, and released on time. You’ll coordinate many fast-changing, moving parts, and get them to come together as a product.

You’ll have excellent communication skills to be at the center of the universe for all questions about schedules, quality, and progress updates. You’ll be responsible for identifying and managing risks, making sound judgments about quality, and stopping (or speeding up) production at the right time. You will be responsible to keep all the team members coordinated on the project’s progress and deadlines.
