Technical Program Manager II, Electronics, Quantum AI

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 for the Quantum AI team, you will usher multi-disciplinary quantum computing projects through the entire project life-cycle from initial concept to data collection and analysis, including design, fabrication, test and deployment of control electronics. You will leverage a technical background to define project requirements, assess technical feasibility, plan project schedules and anticipate engineering issues. You will serve as the orchestrator of the execution process, driving timelines and managing dependencies across multiple technical teams. You will be proactive in communicating with stakeholders and tracking progress.The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.
