About the job

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect people every day.

In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development.

One of the many reasons Google consistently brings innovative, world-changing products to market is because of the collaborative work we do in Product Management. Our team works closely with creative engineers, designers, marketers, etc. to help design and develop technologies that improve access to the world's information. We're responsible for guiding products throughout the execution cycle, focusing specifically on analyzing, positioning, packaging, promoting, and tailoring our solutions to our users.

In this role, you will drive Computational Audio hardware and software collaboration between the Silicon Engineering and Advanced Research teams across the company as well as the device hardware/software groups. You will define a roadmap to bring to life key features that distinguish our first-party devices.

You'll work cross-functionally to assess and select the most critical problems to be solved through silicon or software, build multi-year roadmaps that intersect our long-term device strategy, and secure executive support.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Define differentiated and compelling Computational Audio ML Silicon solutions and roadmap that leverage Google’s Hardware, Software, and ML capabilities.
• Collaborate, inspire, influence, and lead a broad team across Architecture, Software, IC design, Operations, Product Management, and advanced research to create true differentiated experiences in first-party devices. 
• Evaluate new applications, use cases, proofs-of-concept, technologies and standards, and advocate for/against adoption based on silicon and system-level considerations, competitive landscape, cost, usefulness and helpfulness, and more.
• Work with Marketing and Legal for product launches enabled with Google Tensor.
• Establish relationships with critical Audio ecosystem partners to develop in-depth knowledge of capabilities and roadmaps.
