Develop firmware for battery-powered IoT sensors, Linux gateways, and connected devices. Responsibilities include hardware selection, board bring-up, peripheral drivers, bootloaders, firmware updates, power and connectivity management, low-level debugging, and cross-functional product delivery. The role provides senior technical leadership, mentors engineers, and guides firmware from architecture through production launch, with emphasis on BLE, cellular IoT, embedded security, OTA reliability, and manufacturing quality.

Build and operate scalable full-stack software and AI-powered products for physical operations. Own technically complex areas, define technical strategy, develop backend services, APIs, frontend and potentially mobile experiences, and translate customer problems into measurable outcomes. Lead cross-team initiatives, mentor engineers, participate in technical reviews, and raise engineering quality and velocity.

Design and ship firmware for battery-powered and gateway IoT devices. Lead hardware bring-up, implement peripheral drivers, secure bootloaders and OTA, optimize power, debug hardware/software integration, and drive cross-team technical decisions at staff level.

Build and operate scalable, customer-facing full-stack software for Samsara’s safety products. The role involves developing web, mobile, API, and platform capabilities; integrating LLMs, agentic workflows, and RAG; evaluating AI quality; and improving reliability, scalability, and operational health. The engineer collaborates with Product, Design, ML, and platform teams while owning features from concept through production.

Lead the technical direction of Samsara’s shared geospatial platform. Build scalable data ingestion and processing pipelines, map data models, spatial APIs, map-matching and routing foundations, and reusable platform capabilities. Scale storage, querying, and computation for real-time features, consolidate team-specific solutions, mentor engineers, lead cross-team technical projects, and represent the company in the geospatial community.

Build and scale AI-enabled developer experience systems, including CI/CD platforms, deployment safeguards, observability, automated response workflows, and multi-agent orchestration. Reduce developer toil and technical debt while improving software delivery speed, safety, reliability, and production quality. Partner with engineering teams to adopt AI-native delivery practices and convert emerging capabilities into scalable internal platforms.

Lead a team of firmware and ML engineers developing, optimizing, and deploying computer vision and AI models on edge devices. Provide hands-on technical leadership for embedded systems, low-latency processing, and resource-constrained hardware. Partner with Product, Hardware, and Full-stack teams to deliver products from concept through mass production, shape technical roadmaps, and hire and develop engineering talent.

Leads Samsara’s globally distributed Core Infrastructure team, combining people leadership with technical strategy across compute, networking, storage, cloud systems, reliability, and efficiency. The manager will develop engineers, establish ownership, improve operational health, lead modernization and disaster-recovery initiatives, build automation and self-service infrastructure, and coordinate with engineering and security leaders. The role requires 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least two years managing software or infrastructure engineers.

Own commercial navigation features end to end across mobile, backend, and web surfaces. Build reliable, customer-facing navigation experiences for commercial fleets despite poor connectivity, dynamic schedules, and changing routes. Define product priorities and success metrics, ship maintainable and tested code, improve observability, and collaborate with product, design, Maps, Telematics, and adjacent engineering teams. The role requires strong customer focus, technical depth, and the ability to make practical tradeoffs in ambiguous problem spaces.
