Senior Automation Technical Program Manager, Pixel Watch
Summary
Leads automation projects for Google’s Pixel Watch hardware, defining functional requirements for precision assembly processes (e.g., adhesive, sealing, screw-driving) and collaborating with design, manufacturing, and automation teams to design, develop, and test automated systems for high-volume consumer electronics production.
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.
