Job Description
You'll shape the team's roadmap, scientific agenda, and modeling standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Samsara is building an AI/ML team inside its Operations team to make our supply chain AI native. You would be one of its first AI/ML engineers.
- We design connected hardware (cameras, vehicle gateways, sensors), build it with joint development manufacturing partners, and deliver it to tens of thousands of customers in industries that keep the economy running. Every link in that chain often runs on emails, flat files and manual reconciliations. We are moving our internal operations into the future with modern AI capabilities.
- We expect you to work across the supply chain including fulfillment, inventory, returns, cash, planning, components, suppliers and cost management. You will partner directly with Planning, Procurement, Fulfillment, Finance, Sales, and the hardware, firmware and quality engineering teams.
- You'll design, develop, and deploy advanced machine learning and statistical models that optimize our global supply chain. From forecasting demand to modeling supply risk using real-time IoT signals, you'll apply cutting-edge techniques to solve complex problems with direct business impact.
- Define the end-to-end AI transformation roadmap for supply chain alongside the Senior Director of Supply Chain AI Transformation, aligning with company OKRs and executive stakeholders
- Design, train, validate, and deploy ML models to production (demand forecasting, inventory optimization, supplier risk scoring, cellular spend prediction, HW cash flow), ensuring robust MLOps practices and measurable ROI
- Build predictive models to forecast demand, inventory, lead times, and spend across Samsara's global supply network
- Create novel features using large-scale ERP, IoT, and third-party datasets; build pipelines and ETL jobs to serve models and stakeholders
- Deliver production-grade code that supports both batch and real-time inference with MLOps best practices
- Act as the AI liaison to Product, Engineering, Procurement, and Finance—ensuring alignment on data requirements, integration, and change management
- Drive enhancements to our data infrastructure and analytics platform to support real-time model training, monitoring, and inference at scale
- Mentor junior scientists through code reviews and collaborative project work
- Act as a key scientific voice in roadmap planning, experimentation frameworks, and modeling strategy discussions
- Identify gaps in data, tools, and processes—and lead initiatives to close them
- Establish governance frameworks , documentation standards, and quality controls for model development, validation, and lifecycle management
- Partner with Ops management to drive adoption of AI tools, define new processes, and train supply chain teams on insights-driven workflows
- Champion 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
Requirements
- Deep Statistical Expertise: Able to design and validate experiments (A/B, multi-armed bandits) and apply Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification.
- Time-Series Mastery: Proven track record building advanced forecasting models (e.g., Prophet, LSTMs, Transformer-based) for intermittent demand and seasonal patterns.
- Cost Optimization Mindset: Skilled in profiling ML workloads and driving down cloud/GPU spend through model compression (quantization, pruning) and serverless architectures.
- Cross-Region Scaling: Demonstrated ability to deploy low-latency inference across multiple geographic regions with fail-over and disaster-recovery strategies.
- Vendor & Open-Source Savvy: Experience evaluating and integrating third-party ML platforms and contributing to or leveraging relevant open-source projects.
- Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of supply chain concepts (S&OP, IBP, safety stock, EOQ), ERP systems (SAP, NetSuite, E2DP, Propel), and inventory optimization theory. Ideal background in consumer electronics or B2B hardware manufacturing.
- 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. Learn more about our total rewards and benefits below.

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.
