Job description

Improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy.

Are you the right applicant for this opportunity Find out by reading through the role overview below.

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, Equipment Monitoring, and Site Visibility. 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 :

The HW Solutions FW team at Samsara is a newly established group focused on prototyping new products and technologies, as well as influencing SoC roadmaps well in advance of actual cross-functional product kick-offs. This team stays aligned with existing product teams while looking ahead to ensure future technology readiness. We seek candidates with system and firmware product-level hands-on development experience. Experience in one or more technology applications would be a plus—Cellular and Wireless Connectivity, Location Technologies, IoT, Automotive, —focused on embedded systems.

As part of this tight-knit group within the Samsara HW organization, you will collaborate closely with product and software teams. You will be at the forefront of technology, engaging in deep evaluations and providing fast feedback to help hardware, product, and software teams make informed choices for next-generation technologies and products, as well as improvements to existing products.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy working in an environment with multiple, often ambiguous, projects running simultaneously. Taking full ownership of your projects and being ready to support your teammates is crucial. This role is ideal for those who value close collaboration with teammates, have a strong focus on customers, and are motivated by the direct impact of their work on meeting customer needs.

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.

In this role, you will :

  • Work with external technology and SoC vendors to evaluate technologies, influence their roadmaps, and ensure alignment with Samsara's product vision.
  • Collaborate with product teams to understand their needs and align technology exploration with product requirements.
  • Map new technologies to potential Samsara products by working closely with hardware and software teams.
  • Communicate, collaborate, and develop with firmware / software engineers, product managers, hardware engineers, and support teams.
  • Integrate security considerations into all stages of product development, ensuring robust and secure solutions.
  • Understand and apply regulatory compliance requirements relevant to wireless and IoT devices.
  • 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 :

  • An ideal candidate also has :

  • In-depth hands-on experience with developer boards and prototyping features, running experiments, and evaluating KPIs.
  • A self-starter attitude with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and drive technology and product exploration.
  • Proficiency with Linux development tools, embedded Linux systems, SoCs, MCUs, and experience working with external vendors and SoC vendors.
  • Experience with cloud connectivity and IoT platforms .
