About the job
Google's projects, like our users, span the globe and require managers to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the unique engineering challenges we face daily. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you lead complex, multi-disciplinary engineering projects using your engineering expertise. You plan requirements with internal customers and usher projects through the entire project lifecycle. This includes managing project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders. You're equally at home explaining your team's analyses and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical trade-offs in product development with engineers.
Using your extensive technical and leadership expertise, you manage projects of various size and scope, identifying future opportunities, improving processes and driving the technical directions of your programs.
In this role, you will own the release process and deploy the high quality releases through coordinating the cross-functional efforts and lead the team to successful deliveries. You will work with a team of engineers, program managers, product managers, and partner engineers to ensure high quality releases, while improving the release process itself, and reducing the operational overhead. You will affect the future of the automotive industry while streamlining the efforts of multiple cross-functional partners into a smooth and simple process.
Automotive industry executives say there will be more change in their business in the next 5 years than they have seen in the last 50 years. The Android Auto team collaborates with vehicle manufacturers to develop and deliver on this massive opportunity, building on a proven embedded platform to create a leading Assistant-powered, navigation, entertainment, and communication vehicle system, which will be delivered to specialized people-moving devices.
