AI / Computer Vision (IC)

About the role

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. This is the most senior individual contributor role on our Safety AI team. 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.

• Scale: Millions of AI dash cams, 100B+ miles/year (~99% of U.S. roads), 25T+ data points
• Problems: Driver behavior understanding, 3D scene reasoning, and long-tail event detection in real-world environments
• Stack: Modern vision models (e.g. transformers), large-scale training pipelines, and optimization for edge inference on constrained devices

You should apply if:

• You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact – helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, reduce emissions, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
• You are the architect of your own career: If you put in the work, this role won’t be your last at Samsara. We set up our employees for success and have built a culture that encourages rapid career development, countless opportunities to experiment and master your craft in a hyper growth environment.
• You’re energized by our opportunity: The vision we have to digitize large sectors of the global economy requires your full focus and best efforts to bring forth creative, ambitious ideas for our customers.
• 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-calibre team that will encourage you to do your best.

In this role, you will:

• You will be the technical thought leader and you will lead the design and implementation of our most critical Safety AI initiatives including perception systems that run across millions of edge devices in the
