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:
Telematics is Samsara’s second largest (and original) business. Our product is used by customers of all sizes and in a variety of industries throughout the US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe. We help customers manage their fleet operations, with real-time tracking and data gathered from vehicles (and sensors) in the field and ingested into our cloud-based platform.
We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our team and manage the group of Automotive Engineers who fuel the Telematics business unit. This team is responsible for expanding diagnostic coverage to ensure we get accurate, quality data, across the fleet of 10,000+ MMYs (Make Model Years) dealing with various diagnostic protocols, standards, and OEM-specific proprietary information.
We primarily work and collaborate closely with firmware engineers, product managers, customer support teams, and full-stack engineers to expand diagnostic coverage. In this role, you will be responsible for roadmap, execution, and innovation within our Vehicle Data Platform group – leveraging data from vehicle systems across Samsara’s 1.2M+ vehicle gateways in the field. Your team’s capabilities are the foundation for driving a wide range of products built on top of this data (e.g. Maintenance, Sustainable Fleet/EV Management features, etc).
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the US except Alaska, Austin Metro, Boulder Metro, California, Chicago Metro, Connecticut, Dallas Metro, Denver Metro, Houston Metro, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Seattle Metro, and Washington, D.C.
