About The Job

Google’s software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. Our products need to handle information at massive scale, and extend well beyond web search. We’re looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day. As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google’s needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

The Google Nest team focuses on hardware, software and services offerings for the home, ranging from Nest thermostats to Nest smart displays. The Nest team researches, designs, and develops new technologies and hardware to make users’ homes more helpful. Our mission is the helpful home: to create a home that cares for the people inside it and the world around it.

Responsibilities

• Develop software at the platform level for new Google Nest products, and support previously shipped products when parts are end-of-life and replacements need to be qualified.
• Bringup new MCUs and SoCs, including areas like secure boot, bootloader, and drivers for MCU peripherals like SPI, I2C, FLASH, PWM, GPIO, DMA, UART, LCD.
• Write drivers for sensors (e.g. temperature, humidity, magnetic, PIR, radar, etc), typically over I2C or SPI.
• Optimize system power (especially for battery powered products), charging when we have rechargeable batteries, and manage overall power consumption.
