Description

Samsara is seeking a Firmware Engineer to develop software that runs on millions of devices, deployed by industrial and enterprise customers. The successful candidate will have experience building firmware for resource-constrained systems, fluency in C, and solid bare-metal and RTOS experience.

Responsibilities:

  • Shape the hardware and software that runs on it
  • Bring up new platforms and prototypes from virgin silicon
  • Build the layers that determine whether a device in the field quietly recovers on its own or becomes an RMA
  • Design protocols and hardware management for battery-powered sensors and gateways
  • Partner with product, full-stack, mobile, and quality engineers
  • Raise the bar for the engineers around you

Requirements:

  • 2+ years building firmware for resource-constrained systems
  • Fluency in C
  • Solid bare-metal and RTOS experience
  • Experience with low-level interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, ADC)
  • Real bench instincts
  • Cross-team scope and cross-layer judgment
  • Ability to write design docs, review comments, and post-mortems
  • Comfortable iterating on customer feedback at speed

Preferred Skills:

  • BLE at depth
  • Cellular IoT (LTE-M or NB-IoT modem integration)
  • Securing embedded systems end-to-end
  • OTA and device firmware update at fleet scale
  • Embedded Linux on the gateway side
  • CAN and J1939 work on commercial vehicles
  • Python and Bash for tooling and hardware-in-the-loop test automation
