Technical Program Manager II, Data Center Equipment Supply Chain

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 build diversity, equity, and inclusion into our work and we aim to cultivate a sense of belonging throughout the company.

Google is an engineering company at heart. We hire people with a broad set of technical skills who are ready to take on some of technology's greatest challenges and make an impact on users around the world. At Google, engineers not only revolutionize search, they routinely work on scalability and storage solutions, large-scale applications and entirely new platforms for developers around the world. From Google Ads to Chrome, Android to YouTube, social to local, Google engineers are changing the world one technological achievement after another.

Responsibilities:

• Lead large, complex, cross-functional program teams within Google and with external partners to prepare for production ramp or product transitions.
• Plan and execute operations development activities and ensure transition to production within cost, quality, and capacity parameters. Ensure successful production ramp meeting program goals.
• Manage ramp readiness with internal teams as well as external partners (i.e., material availability, cost/assembly/test/BOM/capacity readiness, and transition plans).
• Drive cross-functional teams to optimize the supply chain for specific strategic reasons, while accounting for risks and changes in schedule or demand.
• Drive operations and new product development as well as supporting those products through production ramp, sustainment, and EOL.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Knowledge of typical hardware BOMs, process documentation, and assembly and test processes.
• Excellent leadership, investigative, quantitative reasoning, problem-solving, creativity, and strategic skills.
• Effective communicator of project requirements and schedules.
