About The Position

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 focus on securing leading-edge foundry nodes and
sophisticated 2.5D/3D packaging solutions. You will be responsible for designing
a premier supply chain that integrates standard foundry oversight with complex
technologies. Acting as a vital link between external partners and internal
engineering, you will ensure technology alignment, capacity assurance, and
competitive pricing for Google's custom silicon initiatives. You will be
instrumental in the design, verification, and implementation of complex digital
integrated circuits from concept to production, with a particular emphasis on
ensuring seamless integration and outcomes with our external technology
providers. You will work on technologies that are critical to our
next-generation products, contributing to the full lifecycle of ASIC development
while actively managing our external technical engagements.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible. We empower Google
customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and
Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity. Our
customers include Googlers, Google Cloud customers, and billions of Google users
worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Google's groundbreaking innovations, empowering
the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing
power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable
developers to build the future. From software to hardware our teams are shaping
the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the
development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Google Cloud, Google Global Networking,
Data Center operations, systems research, and much more.
