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.
The Technical Program Management team provides the technical and commercial knowledge to manage new build projects. In this role, you will act as the SME for the marine survey and installation aspects of projects, while also contributing to the broader work of the team.
Responsibilities
- Support subsea cable projects with marine engineering analyses, technical guidance, and recommendations.
- Evaluate cable route designs through leading route working groups, analysis of survey data and fault histories, and conduct risk assessments.
- Review marine installation procedures to ensure quality and cost effective delivery.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and assume project management responsibilities for complete systems.
