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. This role is pivotal in driving the transition from
manual-centric assembly to a highly automated, data-driven
manufacturing environment. You will be responsible for driving
automation strategies across all major factory functions. As an
Automation SysTPM, you will bridge the gap between cross-functional
engineering teams and factory operations to deliver products at the
lowest cost and highest quality. You will lead the development of a
scalable automation roadmap that aligns with leadership goals of
reducing headcount (HC) and improving manufacturing value-Add
(MVA). The Google Pixel team focuses on designing and delivering
the world's most helpful mobile experience. The team works on
shaping the future of Pixel devices and services through some of
the most advanced designs, techniques, products, and experiences in
consumer electronics. This includes bringing together the best of
Google’s artificial intelligence, software, and hardware to build
global smartphones and create transformative experiences for users
across the world. The US base salary range for this full-time
position is $117,000-$166,000 bonus equity benefits. Our salary

factory data collection and develop real-time monitoring dashboards
for CPK information and line status. Identify and evaluate
strategic automation partners and vendors to scale technology
deployment. Oversee the documentation of automated processes.
