Staff Software Engineer at Google
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTennessee Carmel-veilleux is a Staff Software Engineer based in Waterloo with 14 years of cross-disciplinary experience bridging embedded software, board-level hardware, and systems architecture. He has shipped consumer wearables, secure payment wearables, and industrial robotics solutions, specializing in RTOS, Embedded C/C++, drivers, sensor DSP and manufacturing test systems. At Google and prior startups he’s led secure bootloader design, BLE middleware, and cloud-integrated production test infrastructure while tackling nanoamp power, eInk/touch integration, and complex analog issues. A pragmatic architect who still dives into hands-on debugging, he’s also contributed low-level crypto primitives and ECDSA/HMAC implementations to the widely used Matter/connectedhomeip project. His background in avionics-grade partitioned kernels and multiple patents on sensor algorithms hints at unusual depth in safety- and performance-critical embedded systems.
