Technical Program Manager, New Product Introduction
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.
As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for TPU and server software, you will be at the forefront of Google’s AI infrastructure. You will drive high-impact software programs and new product initiatives. Your primary mission will be to lead the software programs that enable the development, bring-up, and large-scale deployment of our next-generation TPU and server platforms. You will navigate the complexities of system software, firmware, and production fleet integration to ensure our AI hardware is performant, stable, and ready for global scale.
In this role, you will have the chance to drive software development for NPIs and the infrastructure that supports NPI and production. You will work across a huge range of cross-functional partners, and experience direct what it takes to build and deploy data center products at scale.
