Technical Program Manager II, Fiber Infrastructure Design, Data Centers

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 the Technical Program Manager, you will lead multiple programs reaching beyond the immediate team and organization. This role focuses specifically on the design of projects in the North America-South America region, which are complex initiatives involving the addition of infrastructure to buildings carrying live traffic with existing infrastructure in place. In this role, you will seek opportunities to use Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) technologies to lead improvements across programs.

The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
