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.

As a Process and Yield Engineer for Custom Silicon, you will join the team responsible for high volume custom silicon manufacturing from NPI through product ramp, sustaining, and end of life (EOL). This includes yield and process improvement and scrap optimization, manufacturing performance, quality and excursion management and prevention, value engineering, change control management, new production site qualifications for alternate sourcing and business continuity, HVM capacity readiness, cycle time optimization, and more.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

• Drive yield monitor and yield improvement, excursion management and failure analysis (e.g., EDS, ATE, and SLT Yield) in the area of custom silicon wafer and package level yield target definition.
• Drive cross-functional efforts for Technology and operational readiness during New Product Introduction (NPI).
• Drive and resolve technical and operational issues of material, process, hardware fixtures, and testing equipment to enable delivery of product and manufacturing process during NPI into Mass Production.
• Lead early production site qualifications for NPI. Lead yield and process improvements, development and validation CIP.
• Perform excursion/gap root cause analysis. Lead suppliers to establish and validate process capability and performance metrics (using statistical tools and techniques) for consistently delivering high quality products and for excursion management.
