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.

In this role, you will focus on securing leading-edge foundry nodes and 2.5D/3D packaging solutions. You will be responsible for designing a premier supply chain that integrates standard foundry oversight with technologies. Acting as a vital link between external partners and internal engineering, you will ensure technology alignment, capacity assurance, and competitive pricing for Google's custom silicon initiatives. You will be instrumental in the design, verification, and implementation of digital integrated circuits from concept to production, with a particular emphasis on ensuring seamless integration and outcomes with external technology providers. You will work on technologies for next-generation products, contributing to the full lifecycle of ASIC development while actively managing external technical engagements.
