Director, Technical Program Management, Manufacturing and Industrial EngineeringThe Modular Manufacturing & Integration organization is leading an industry-defining transformation in how Google delivers technical infrastructure for the AI era. Transitioning away from conventional, on-site, purpose-built construction, our mission is to industrialize data center delivery through mass-assembled, standardized modules and off-site manufacturing. By pushing labor-intensive assembly, systems integration, and quality testing upstream into controlled factory environments, we enable "square wave" capacity delivery—turning on gigawatt-scale AI compute, liquid cooling, power distribution, and network fabric with unprecedented velocity.Operating across AI Systems & Infrastructure (AI2), Google Data Centers (GDC), Systems & Manufacturing (ISM), and Google Global Infrastructure (GGI), our team defines the modular technical product and serves as the accountable business owner for industrializing and landing modular capacity globally.
As the Principal TPM of Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering, you will be the chief industrial architect responsible for translating Google's modular infrastructure strategy into an executable, manufacturing reality.In this principal technical leadership role—with the charter to incubate the discipline and potentially scale a dedicated team over time—you will bridge the gap between design engineering, external contract manufacturing, and on-site field execution. Your remit spans the entire physical and technical stack: structural modules, medium-to-low voltage power skids, liquid cooling distribution, and dense AI compute hardware. You will evaluate current field deployment and operations bottlenecks and establish scalable manufacturing processes with global contract manufacturers and fabricators.
Your core mandate is simple yet radical: dramatically compress the timeline from factory gate to live AI compute, reduce complexity of assembly in manufacturing and in the field, and increase first pass yield/quality of the entire data center system.Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
