Job Description
At Samsara, we embrace a flexible working model that caters to the diverse needs of our teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Every device Samsara ships, vehicle gateways, cameras, and sensors, must earn trust with regulators, auditors, and global fleets before it reaches the road. This role puts you at the center of that work, owning certification requirements that keep Samsara hardware operating. You will also support the compliance bar for Samsara original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnerships with major commercial vehicle manufacturers.
- This is a new seat inside the Samsara Security organization. You will help build the playbook, working closely with the Firmware, Hardware, and Platform Security teams to translate dense compliance requirements into requirements engineers can build against. As you grow in the role, you will lead direct conversations with internal teams, customers, partners, and auditors. If you want to move from a broader compliance or engineering background into a specialized niche at the intersection of hardware, cybersecurity, and automotive technology, this is that opportunity.
- This is a remote position. This role is open to candidates residing in the US except Alaska, Austin metro, California, Chicago metro, Connecticut, Dallas metro, Denver metro, Houston metro, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Washington, and Washington DC metro. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
- Coordinate with Engineering teams and Technical Program Management on compliance assessments and audits driven by Samsara original equipment manufacturer (OEM) commercial vehicle partners, from intake through completion.
- Partner closely with the Application Security (AppSec) team on threat modeling and firmware analysis work, translating compliance requirements into concrete, actionable engineering solutions.
- Own Samsara’s FirstNet Program and annual certification activities.
- Research and propose solutions to compliance gaps, weighing trade-offs and communicating risk clearly to engineering partners.
- Take part in customer and auditor conversations on Samsara device security posture, building toward owning these interactions independently.
- Identify and build automation surrounding audit requirements and evidence gathering.
- 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.
Requirements
- 3+ years of relevant compliance or engineering experience.
- Experience with carrier or cellular per-device certification for public-safety or first-responder wireless networks, or similar programs (e.g. FirstNet).
- Hands-on experience with ISO 21434 processes, including Item Definition, TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment), Cybersecurity Goals and Concept, and Cybersecurity System Requirements (decomposition into Hardware and Software Security Requirements).
- Experience with validation and verification of control requirements, including exposure to penetration testing and independent assessments.
- Working knowledge of automotive cybersecurity fundamentals: key and certificate management, authenticated boot, flash, OTA, and diagnostic access, authenticated messaging, encryption tradeoffs, and hardware security modules (HSMs) and how these apply to compliance requirements.
- Ability to research and propose solutions with clear trade-off reasoning, and to communicate risk clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Familiarity with UNECE R155 and RED / EN 18031.
- Background in an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or automotive innovation and autonomy group, rather than a traditional legacy automotive program.
- Prior exposure to OEM partnership-driven compliance work with commercial vehicle manufacturers.
- The range of annual base salary for full-time employees for this position is below. Please note that base pay offered may vary depending on factors including your city of residence, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This role is also eligible for an initial RSU grant with no vesting cliff, and ongoing refresh opportunities tied to performance, subject to plan terms and conditions.

Benefits & Perks
- At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
- Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you’re ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.
