# Scott Gammon > Staff Software Engineer at Google Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/scottgammon I build the wireless technology that makes consumer products amazing. As an embedded specialist, I focus on the intersection of low-power WiFi/Bluetooth and media streaming, where technical precision elevates a product from “can work” to “will work”. My approach is rooted in data. I specialize in deep-system analysis, focusing on timing and power to drive engineering decisions. I enjoy taking on the "impossible" challenges of multi-protocol wireless environments, using rigorous data collection to navigate the trade-offs between hardware constraints and user experience. I am also a dedicated early adopter of agentic AI tooling within the embedded space. I am focused on integrating these tools into the development workflow to accelerate debugging, automate unit testing, and optimize driver development, bridging the gap between hardware-level constraints and modern software velocity. Core Expertise: - Application of WiFi, BT/BLE, and protocols for cutting edge devices. - Precise timing and measurement, power profiling, and performance engineering. - Leveraging the latest AI-based agents to streamline embedded development across a multitude of architectures and programming languages. - Embedded systems design, C, Linux, RTOS, and audio/video processing for consumer electronics. I bring a deep understanding of the product and business space, with a proven track record of what it takes to launch successful products. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer @ Google Jan 2021 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Staff Software Engineer in Android XR, tackling a variety of challenges central to the performance analysis and optimization of next generation low power wearables, specifically around wireless communications and protocols. ### Total Spaceship Guy @ Google Jan 2017 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area I create devices that take the Google Assistant beyond the home. ### Embedded Software Technical Lead @ Nest Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area I had the privilege of working on the amazing team at Nest where I touched many of their early products including Thermostats, Protect (smoke detectors), and the first generation Nest Cam. ### Software Development and Technical Lead, Various Teams @ BlackBerry Jan 2010 – Jan 2014 I worked on various projects and teams in the real-time communications space, including work with RCS-e video sharing, VoLTE video calling, BBM Video, and Print To Go. My time was typically split 60/40 between architecture, design, project management responsibilities and coding. ### Software Developer, WLAN Firmware @ BlackBerry Jan 2004 – Jan 2010 One of the original WiFi developers at RIM, I worked as a lead software developer responsible for the WLAN driver on all BlackBerry handhelds. On the hardware side, I worked extensively with the design teams participating in new design review, bring up, and diagnostics. On the software side, I had extensive exposure to the protocol stack, core driver, and chipset firmware across a multitude of host processors and 802.11 chipsets. I was the RIM expert on SDIO, and the WLAN lead for battery life and driver throughput optimization. ### Software and Hardware Engineering @ Communications Security Establishment Jan 2001 – Jan 2004 ## Education ### B.Eng. in Computer Engineering Memorial University, Newfoundland and Labrador ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/scott-gammon --- Source: https://flows.cv/scottgammon JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/scottgammon/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-12
