At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

We run a collaborative process working closely with Product Management, PD, FW, EPM, NPI, and Hardware leadership to make excellent tradeoffs and choices. Throughout this process, you’ll share your expertise with other engineers.

  • Be an architect : Evaluate system feature tradeoffs and create the system specifications for development with product management and cross‑functional engineering teams.
  • Spearhead the development process from prototyping through field validation according to performance, cost and schedule goals.
  • Manage : We bolster our internal development team with top JDM companies to design, validate, certify and manufacture quality products, certification labs and other external consultants.
  • Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices.
  • Minimum requirements for the role :

  • 5+ years of experience shipping high volume hardware programs with ODM and JDM partners.
  • Systems design expertise such as chipset / SoC selection, power optimization, antennas / RF, batteries, sensors, PCB design, etc.
