## About the Role

* 10+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying software, with deep expertise in embedded systems and firmware, including at least 2 years in a technical leadership or architecture role
 * Deep expertise in at least one embedded domain (for example multimedia, connectivity, drivers and kernel, power, or real-time systems)
 * Has shipped across the stack: firmware, Go backend services, and web or mobile surfaces, not just embedded
 * Strong programming skills in C/C++, Go, Python, or similar
 * Product and systems thinking: has shipped products, not just components; ties technical decisions to customer outcomes; and reasons about the whole system, including device constraints, connectivity, cloud, and fleet-scale rollout
 * High agency and execution speed: owns outcomes end-to-end, from a vague customer problem to a shipped, measured feature, without waiting for a spec or hand-off
 * Already uses AI tools in day-to-day engineering work, builds with AI agents by default, can speak concretely to what share of their code is AI-generated, and raises the AI fluency of the team around them
 * Demonstrated ability to lead and deliver complex, high-impact projects with multiple dependencies
 * Strong communication and collaboration skills, equally credible in a kernel driver review and a backend design review, with the ability to move across teams and influence cross-functional stakeholders
 * A track record of building systems that do more with less hardware, and comfort operating under scarce compute, data, or hardware budgets, in any industry, * Expertise in multimedia frameworks, video codecs, and camera systems
 * Played a prominent role in shaping the engineering culture of a rapidly scaling, large, global engineering team
 * Expertise in developing and managing software for large-scale embedded systems deployed on 1M+ devices
 * Experience deploying CV/ML models on edge devices in real-world applications
 * Background in another scarce-resource industry (robotics, drones, consumer electronics, automotive). A strong "do more with less" track record matters more than pedigree in this exact industry

## Description

The Safety Firmware Team builds the next generation of intelligent video and AI-driven safety solutions, bringing high-performance camera systems and real-time edge computing into Samsara's fleet and industrial products. We deliver low-latency, high-quality video processing, voice powered AI Agents and advanced computer vision models at the edge, and we ship them as complete products that run from the device to the cloud., * Own outcomes end-to-end, from a vague customer problem to a shipped, measured feature, across the full stack: firmware, Go backend services, and web and mobile surfaces

 * Drive technology choices, implement embedded and firmware solutions, and establish architectural patterns with a broad and lasting impact on Samsara's products, from the device to the cloud
 * Leverage voice as the new interface, powering AI Agents as well as humans communicating.
 * Design for the whole system: device constraints, connectivity, cloud services, and fleet-scale rollout
 * Identify opportunities and start strategic conversations that influence the direction of our technology and engineering culture
 * Ensure the accuracy of the AI algorithms we run at the edge, and that they operate within device constraints
 * Build with AI agents by default, and raise the AI fluency of the engineers around you
 * Partner closely with the Hardware team to define and build next-generation devices that support company objectives, and work just as fluently with Backend, Web, Mobile, Product, and Customer Success teams
 * Lead teams in delivering products and capabilities that contribute to Samsara's products and revenue
 * Solve the hardest technical problems and help products reach the market quickly, with high quality
 * Act as a multiplier for the team, raising the impact and output of every team member
 * Champion, role model, and embed Samsara's cultural principles (Focus on Customer Success, Build for the Long Term, Adopt a Growth Mindset, Be Inclusive, Win as a Team) as we scale globally and across new offices
