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.

Within Product Lifecycle and Technical Operations (PLaTO), we are a Central Test Engineering organization. The team strives to guide and empower the manufacturing test engineering teams across product verticals and business segments to develop, deploy, and manage test solutions that exceed the quality, cost, and time-to-market needs of Google Cloud products.

In this role, you will be at the forefront of innovation, building new technologies and processes that fuel factory test operations to be scalable and portable across the supply chain. The team develops internal hardware and software tools, manages data standards, and drives insightful and predictive analytics based on internally developed manufacturing data systems.

Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
