The opportunity

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…

What you'll do

  • You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact—helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.

  • You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. 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-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.

  • Shape the hardware, not just the code that runs on it. Sit in reviews with: our electrical engineers and argue for the right SoC, amount of flash/RAM, and combination of sensors, then prove those choices out on prototypes that reach real customers in months, not years.

  • Be the first person to make a new board do anything at all. Bring up new: platforms and prototypes from virgin silicon: configure I/O, get SPI, I2C, UART, BLE talking, debug system init, validate the design, and turn unproven hardware into a product.

What they're looking for

  • Own the layers everything else depends on. Peripheral drivers, secure: bootloaders, device firmware updates, as well as the core management layers like power and connectivity, that determine whether a device in the field quietly recovers on its own or becomes an RMA.
  • Chase every microamp. Design protocols and hardware management for: battery-powered sensors and gateways where the gap between good firmware and great firmware is measured in years of device life.
  • Work with the people who ship the whole product. Partner with product,: full-stack, mobile and quality engineers so the data your firmware produces arrives intact and useful as it lands in the hands of dispatchers, fleet managers, and technicians who depend on it every shift.
  • Set the bar for the engineers around you. At Staff level you are a force: multiplier: your designs, reviews, and instincts raise the ceiling for the whole team. You will help shape how Samsara works, keep a high bar, be intellectually honest, work with urgency and deliver iteratively, as we scale globally and across new offices.
