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

and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs
in product development with engineers.

infrastructures on the planet. The GDC Quality team is responsible for
delivering physical plant infrastructure with predictable quality.

As a Supplier Quality Technical Program Manager, you will work directly with
supplier partners managing critical aspects of mechanical systems supplier
quality. You will collaborate with hardware development and designers, commodity
managers, manufacturing engineers, data center engineers, and data center
operations to drive supplier failure analysis. You will establish true root
causes and drive systemic corrective actions with demonstrated preventative
solutions. You will extract and analyze data from supplier facilities and our
data centers to verify performance and drive improvements.
