This role combines technical expertise with program management to ensure quality in product development and manufacturing processes. The position involves working with cross-functional teams on risk mitigation, quality initiatives, and product development.

As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you'll leverage your technical background to manage complex projects from inception to completion. You'll collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements, identify risks, manage schedules, and maintain clear communication across teams. The role requires both executive-level communication skills and technical depth to discuss product development tradeoffs with engineers.

Key responsibilities include ensuring product quality during New Product Introduction and Sustaining phases, managing risk through processes like NUDD (New, Unique, Difficult, and Different), driving issue resolution before production, and leading quality initiatives. You'll need to navigate ambiguity, build consensus, and effectively communicate with both technical teams and executive leadership.

The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of program management experience, particularly in manufacturing operations for hardware or consumer products. Experience with statistical analysis, process control, and technical tools like SQL or Python is highly valued. This role offers an opportunity to impact product quality at scale while working with cutting-edge technology at one of the world's leading tech companies.
