Nest is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or Veteran status. For casual readers.  Google owns Nest.  Nest will become the IoT part of Google, and that includes most of their wearables.  The wearables will become the remote  control of their smart houses.  If its in the house embedded for Nest may not be all low power wearables, but will track along. TO QUIK,  I hope you are helping them is some ways now and more so in the future?  THanks in advance for any early efforts here............

It is conceived as an abstract machine that can be in one of a finite number of states. The machine is in only one state at a time; the state it is in at any given time is called the current state. It can change from one state to another when initiated by a triggering event or condition; this is called a transition. A particular FSM is defined by a list of its states, and the triggering condition for each transition. they have 45 openings in engineering...... https://nest.com/careers/ a recurring phrase Preferred experience with ARM Cortex-Mx and low-power SoCs sensors and other specialists.  Work with all cross-functional teams (software,
