Job summary

Samsara Inc. is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team of firmware and ML engineers working on edge AI for Samsara's fleet and industrial devices. You will own how AI moves from models to reliable firmware and influence deployment on real-world hardware.

You will mentor engineers, set architecture for latency, power, memory, and model performance, and collaborate with Product, Hardware, and Full-stack teams to ship features from concept to device deployment. Remote US.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on execution-oriented technical management experience.
• 8+ years of experience in embedded systems and edge machine learning development.
• Proven track record managing a team of engineers that has shipped a mass production product.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work well in a diverse fast paced customer-focused environment.
• Experience deploying CV/ML models on edge devices in real-world applications.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of ~5 firmware and ML engineers. Your team builds, optimizes, and deploys AI models on Samsara's fleet and industrial devices. Your work directly affects whether a driver gets a warning before a collision, not after.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership. Lead from the front technically, contributing directly to the design, implementation, and optimization of high-performance production systems.
• Set the technical bar for edge ML and embedded systems. You'll guide architecture decisions on latency, power, memory, and model performance, and mentor engineers to go deep on problems most teams never touch.
• Turn new AI capabilities into shipped products. You'll partner with Product, Hardware, and Full-stack teams to take features from concept to deployment on devices. You'll also keep improving the ones customers rely on every day.
• Shape the roadmap. You'll work with leadership on quarterly plans that balance product ambition with engineering health, and make the tradeoffs that deliver the most customer impact.
• Build a team people want to join and stay on. You'll create a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement, with a high bar for execution quality and room for people to grow.
• Scale Samsara's culture as we grow globally. You'll champion and role model our principles as the team expands across new offices: Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, and Win as a Team.
