About The Job

Our Entertainment team contributes to the mission of helping people access excellent entertainment from home. The team is responsible for our first-party hardware, Chromecast with Google TV.

The Google Nest team focuses on hardware, software, and services for the home, ranging from Nest thermostats to Nest smart displays. The Google Nest team develops, 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

• Scale hub presence by enabling local and remote control on hub-capable devices across different operating systems, device types, and network capabilities.
• Partner closely with Business Development (BD) and Partner Engineering teams to identify key partners with significant hardware footprint in households.
• Extend Hub functionalities beyond local and remote access (e.g., offline mode so the Home continues to run with intermittent Internet down time, or fully local, near-zero-latency smart home automations on hubs).
• Explore offload computational tasks onto capable hub devices to enable new functionalities (i.e. familiar face detention on a basic camera) or reduce cost (i.e. local LLM vs running the model in the cloud).
• Meet and work with key external partner to enable GHP hub on third-party devices.
