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.
The Infrastructure Development and Delivery team designs, builds, and operates gigawatts of reliable, efficient, and flexible data centers around the world that power all Google services and advanced AI hardware. Within ID2, Google's Data Center Operations Engineering organization serves as the central technical authority bridging upstream data center design/construction and 24x7 global fleet operations.
As a Technical Program Manager for Electrical Operations Engineering, you will serve as the global point of escalation for complex electrical infrastructure challenges across Google's data center fleet. Embedded within the operations engineering pillar, you will lead a newly formed engineering support team that acts as the critical operational conduit between upstream design/construction stakeholders and downstream operations.
You will diagnose and lead tactical electrical escalations while driving high-impact, global engineering projects designed to anticipate and mitigate operational risks in current and future designs. Your overarching goal is to optimize the end-to-end lifecycle of critical electrical infrastructure, reducing the level of operational excellence placed on local site teams while catalyzing global scaling velocity.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have the best and fastest experience possible.
Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
US: $192000 - $278000 (USD) + 20% bonus target + equity + benefits

Responsibilities
Act as the ultimate operational authority and escalation point for complex electrical faults, critical failures, and advanced switchgear/protection relay issues.
Scope, prioritize, and drive multi-million dollar electrical upgrades, remediation, or retrofit projects across the global fleet, taking ownership from concept to field operationalization.
Lead specialized electrical remediation and continuous improvement programs to eradicate bottlenecks, ensuring field telemetry, maintenance pain points, and post-mortem learnings inform upstream iterations.
Provide critical electrical engineering judgment to proxy executive leadership in technical disputes regarding operational feasibility, redundancy, protection schemes, and risk acceptance.
Foster seamless integration between local SMEs, (regional plant engineers, construction/deployment engineering, and system/design engineering) to drive design for operations principles.
