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 aim to cultivate a sense of togetherness throughout the company.
As a Technical Program Manager focused on audio algorithms, you will ensure an engineering team is operating smoothly. You will work with engineers, product managers, contract manufactures and ODMs/OEMs to get quality products built, tested and released on time. You will bridge the gap between critical technologies and the top-level system, coordinating many moving parts that come together as a product. You possess excellent communication skills and can answer all questions about schedules, quality and progress updates. You are responsible for identifying and managing risks, making decisions about quality, and stopping (or speeding up) production at the right time.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.Responsibilities
- Partner with Audio engineers, UX researchers, product managers and a broad cross-functional team to manage the development and validation of Audio algorithms used on Pixel products.
- Interface with engineers across both hardware and software, estimate work efforts, define milestones and manage resources. Track progress, resolve dependencies, evaluate risks and communicate status to the management and project stakeholders.
- Help the team overcome challenges to maintain progress. Identify communication gaps, manage issue escalations and provide support to teams balancing engaging priorities.
- Understand technical implementation at the architecture level and propose technical alternatives when necessary. Ask questions that clarify priorities. Develop broad domain and technical knowledge.
- Establish clear processes to help improve execution, identify systemic problems, recommend solutions, clarify roles and responsibilities for core teams involved in algorithm development.
