Responsibilities

In this role, you will be responsible for the industrial design, architecture, and engineering of one or more Samsara products from initial concept through to mass production.

You will motivate your product design process using both data-driven insights gleaned from our telemetry data cloud, and deep hands-on understanding of our customers earned crawling around their sites and equipment alongside them.

In bringing products to market, you will work collaboratively with Product Management, EE, FW, EPM, and Hardware leadership to make tradeoffs and decisions that balance functionality, cost, installation, usability, and aesthetics.

Samsara’s Hardware Product Design teams collaborate closely with Samsara’s Operations and Supply Chain teams, outside laboratories, JDM design resources, and a growing supply base worldwide.

Together, you will bring exceptional products to market on time and within budget, and ensure that Samsara leads the industry in our product design.
