Job description

Samsara (NYSE : IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. 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.

Working at Samsara means you’ll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that’s shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you’ll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the role :

We’re looking for a Senior Hardware Systems Engineer to join our fast-growing product line and team.

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. The US and Taiwan EE teams are supported by the Supply Chain team, laboratories, JDM design resources, and a growing supply base. You will work closely with these internal and external partners to achieve our objectives.

This is a hybrid position requiring three days per week in our San Francisco, CA office and two days working remotely. This position requires travel up to 25% of the time and proximity to an international airport. Relocation assistance will be provided for this role.

We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
  • You’re energized by our opportunity : The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
  • You want to be with the best : At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high‑calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.

  • Ship successful products at scale (high volume).
  • Conduct research : Stay informed of the latest silicon possibilities from all the top semiconductor companies.
  • 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.
  • Proven record navigating tradeoffs between design, manufacturability, schedule, and cost.

  • Proven record of system bring up / debug including desense, validation, power, etc.
  • BS or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
  • Ability to travel up to 25% when necessary.
