Job Description
The role involves designing and deploying advanced machine learning models to optimize Samsara's global supply chain, including demand forecasting, inventory management, and risk modeling, while collaborating with cross-functional teams and ensuring scalable, real-time AI solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and deploy machine learning and statistical models for supply chain optimization
- Build predictive models for demand forecasting, inventory management, and supply risk assessment
- Create data pipelines and ETL processes using large-scale ERP, IoT, and third-party datasets
- Implement production-grade ML systems supporting batch and real-time inference with MLOps best practices
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align data requirements, integration, and deployment strategies
- Enhance data infrastructure and analytics platforms for real-time model training, monitoring, and inference
- Mentor junior data scientists and contribute to scientific strategy, experimentation, and modeling standards
- Identify gaps in data, tools, and processes and lead initiatives to improve them
- Establish governance, documentation, and quality controls for model lifecycle management
- Partner with operations teams to promote adoption of AI tools and train teams on insights-driven workflows
Requirements
- 8 years of experience in applied data science or machine learning, ideally in supply chain, operations research, logistics, or manufacturing.
- Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Operations Research, or a related technical field.
- Expertise in statistical modeling or machine learning, including time series forecasting, optimization, and anomaly detection.
- Strong coding skills in Python and fluency in SQL, with experience developing and deploying production machine learning systems.
- Familiarity with MLOps practices, including automated testing, CI/CD, model versioning, and monitoring.
- Demonstrated track record building real-time inference pipelines and managing GPU/TPU resources.
- Familiarity with data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI and cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
- A passion for operational excellence, cost efficiency, and building scalable, data-driven solutions.
- Exceptional problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication abilities.
- Deep statistical expertise, including designing and validating experiments (A/B, multi-armed bandits), and applying Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification.
- Proven experience building advanced forecasting models (e.g., Prophet, LSTMs, Transformer-based models) for intermittent demand and seasonal patterns.
- Skilled in profiling ML workloads and reducing cloud GPU spend through model compression, quantization, pruning, and serverless architectures.
- Ability to deploy low-latency inference across multiple geographic regions with fail-over and disaster-recovery strategies.
- Experience evaluating and integrating third-party ML platforms and contributing to or leveraging open-source projects.
