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.

About the role:

The Reliability engineer is responsible for implementing and executing comprehensive reliability strategies/plans that span the entire product development lifecycle from concept to warranty repair. The Reliability engineer quickly aggregates and analyzes test, field performance, and manufacturing data to drive actions internally and with our suppliers to ensure that we are building the highest quality product.

  • You want to be with the best: At Samsara, we win together, celebrate together, and support each other. You will be surrounded by a high-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.

In this role, you will:

  • Work cross-functionally with partners in Hardware/Firmware Engineering, Operations, and Support to ensure our customers have a best-in-class product experience.
  • Design in reliability through the product development process and own product reliability modeling, testing, and validation.
  • Set reliability requirements and allocate reliability targets to subsystems.
  • Lead product quality investigations in addition to root cause and corrective actions with internal cross-functional team members and external vendors.
  • Evaluate and investigate defect trends that improve incoming material and outgoing product quality.
  • Identify opportunities for corrective actions and continuous improvement through field failure investigations.
  • Create feedback loops to continuously improve the products in the field and the next generation.
  • 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.

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • MSc/PhD in Engineering, Material Science, Physics, or related field.
  • 10+ years of experience working in a Hardware Reliability Engineer role.
  • Experience with stress testing; fatigue testing, vibration, and shock testing, electrical stress, and environmental stress.
