Tech Lead Applied Scientist

10+ years as a scientist or ML engineer, with experience leading end-to-end AI systems in production.

Experience with multimodal perception and sensor fusion (e.g., camera, lidar, radar, GPS/IMU).

Experience with transformer-based architectures and vision-language models (VLMs/VLAs).

Experience building and deploying real-time or edge ML systems optimized for low-latency inference.

Demonstrated ability to drive systems from research through production deployment, including performance optimization and reliability at scale.

Samsara's AI has helped prevent accidents that would have harmed an estimated 380,000 people per year.

Every model we ship runs in the real world, on real roads, protecting real drivers.

The role is focused on taking models from research to production in safety-critical systems.

You'll sit at the intersection of cutting-edge computer vision research and production systems that run across millions of IoT devices globally.

The models you build run on the edge, in real time, on the trucks and vans and heavy equipment that keep the world moving.
