A Senior Machine Learning Engineer I responsible for designing, optimizing, and deploying computer vision and multimodal ML models on constrained edge platforms to enhance Samsara's in-vehicle safety and driver experience systems.
Key Responsibilities
Design, optimize, and deploy computer vision and multimodal ML models for edge platforms in in-vehicle camera systems
Apply model optimization techniques such as quantization, pruning, and distillation for real-time inference under hardware constraints
Collaborate with research and product teams to translate AI detections into deployable edge models
Partner with firmware, ML research, and hardware teams to develop scalable, reliable on-device inference pipelines
Develop benchmarking, profiling, and validation frameworks to ensure robustness of models across deployed devices
Improve edge ML toolchain and promote best practices in model optimization, inference reliability, and deployment efficiency
Mentor peers on inference design and collaborate cross-functionally to accelerate safety and driver experience features
Requirements
Minimum of 5 years of experience developing and deploying deep learning models for edge, embedded, or real-time systems.
Strong background in computer vision or multimodal machine learning, such as 2D 3D CNNs or Transformers, using industry-standard deep learning frameworks.
Proficiency in Python and C++, with hands-on experience optimizing inference runtimes and applying model optimization techniques for edge deployment.
Deep understanding of performance tuning, including compiler- or DSP-level optimizations, runtime profiling, latency analysis, and memory management on constrained hardware.
Familiarity with middleware or streaming frameworks used in real-time perception pipelines.
Excellent cross-functional communication and collaboration skills, especially across machine learning, firmware, and product domains.
Experience bringing machine learning infrastructure or runtime systems from prototype to production at scale.
