Who we are
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, and Equipment Monitoring. 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.
Do you have a passion for high-volume hardware design and an owner mentality for the products you build? We are looking for a highly capable Sr. Hardware Systems Engineer ready to make a significant impact by delivering cutting-edge, new products to market. This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing team and drive the complete hardware systems lifecycle for solutions that are disrupting the industry.
About the Opportunity: Systems Ownership and Execution
As a Sr. Hardware Systems Engineer, you will be a core technical contributor, responsible for executing and leading the hardware systems development for our next generation of products. You will utilize your expertise to drive complex technical tradeoffs, ensure designs are robust and manufacturable, and collaborate across engineering disciplines to deliver successful products at scale. You will have substantial ownership over critical phases of the product life cycle, from deep dive technical feasibility through validation and high-volume manufacturing.
This is a hybrid position requiring three days per week in our San Francisco, CA office and two days working remotely. This position requires travel up to 25% of the time and proximity to an international airport. Relocation assistance will be provided for this role. We are open to candidates residing in the U.S. who are willing and able to relocate to the Bay Area.

-
Systems Design and Ownership: Execute and drive the electrical engineering architecture and design for new products. This includes performing feasibility studies, managing key component selection (chipsets, SoCs, sensors), and leading technical execution around areas like power, thermals, RF/Antenna design, and PCB specifications.
-
Full Product Lifecycle Support: Spearhead the development process from initial prototyping, system bring-up, and debug through rigorous validation, certification, and preparation for high-volume production.
-
Customer-Centric Execution: Collaborate closely with Product Management and customers to understand system requirements, translating user needs into robust, scalable hardware specifications and successful product designs.
-
Cross-Functional Leadership: Serve as a key technical leader, working seamlessly with Product Design (PD), Firmware (FW), Engineering Program Management (EPM), and NPI teams to resolve integration challenges and make excellent technical and schedule tradeoffs.
