Who we are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, which is a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet, including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you'll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that's shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you'll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About Samsara Hardware Engineering:

Samsara's hardware systems bridge the gap between the rapidly evolving world of physical operations and our cloud platform that enables our customers to increase the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of their operations which power the global economy. The hardware footprint is big – we build ultra-low power sensors, ruggedized asset trackers, vehicle ADAS systems with AI/ML, telematics systems, and rackmount video inspection with AI/Ml, with more to come in the future. We leverage myriad technologies including low-power MCUs, big SoCs, DSPs, LTE, GPS, BLE, WiFi, imaging sensors, ML/AI/CV, accelerometers, and more. Our challenges span the gamut from eeking out single-digit microamps to thermals to desense to cost reduction to antenna design to enclosure design that survives extreme environments.

About the role:

We're looking for an Electrical Engineer co-op to join our team. In the day-to-day, you will be responsible for working on the EE aspects of the design of products based on thorough feasibility, design, and cost studies encompassing key component selection, thermals, antenna, etc. We have a tremendous amount of telemetry and access to customers that help guide our design process. You will work directly with our customers to ensure we lead the industry with our product design. We run a collaborative process working closely with Product Management, PD, FW, EPM, NPI, and Hardware leadership to make excellent tradeoffs and choices. Throughout this process, you'll share your expertise with other engineers. The US and Taiwan EE teams are supported by the Supply Chain team, laboratories, JDM design resources, and a growing supply base. You will work closely with these internal and external partners to achieve our objectives.

This role will be held at our San Francisco office. Co-ops are required to be in the office Tuesdays to Thursdays and remote work days on Mondays and Fridays. As part of the co-op program, we do provide relocation and housing support for the duration of the co-op. To be eligible for this role, you must be attending a university that supports full-time work as part of a 6-month co-op OR attend a university that will allow you to take 2 quarters or one semester off to work a co-op. Please do not apply if you are unable to commit to the full duration of this co-op. We are looking for this co-op to join us from January - June 2027. At this time, we are not accepting first-year co-op students. Ideally, this student is in their junior year of school as an undergraduate student and has previous internship and/or co-op experience.

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, and 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-caliber team that will encourage you to do your best.

In this role, you will:

• Contribute to shipping successful product lines.
• Conduct research: Stay informed of the latest silicon possibilities from all the top semiconductor companies.
• Know the system: Evaluate system feature tradeoffs and create the system specifications for development with product management and cross-functional engineering teams.
• Prototype: Assemble EVKs, board hacks, or quick-turn fabrication for evaluating concepts or jump-starting firmware development.
• Design: Take a concept from block diagram to schematics and through layout; either on your own or navigate the process with JDM resources.
• Test: Create a validation plan for each phase of the product development through PVT and characterize the full electrical system for function, power, and use-cases.
• Failure analysis: Find the root cause of design inefficiencies and field failures, and improve design to meet performance and quality requirements.
• Manage: We bolster our internal development team with top JDM companies to design, validate, certify and manufacture quality products, certification labs and other external consultants.
• 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.

An ideal candidate has:

• Bachelor's degree in progress in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field. We are looking for second or third-time co-op or Master level co-op students. We will not be considering first-time co-ops. Your target graduation timeline is May-June 2026.
• You must be able to commit to a minimum of 6 months of full-time co-op employment and have a university that supports the co-op experience.
• Prior intern or co-op experience working on high-volume hardware programs.
• Solid fundamentals in digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuits.
• Schematic and layout knowledge in Altium or Cadence or CAD/Allegro.
• Ability to navigate tradeoffs between design, manufacturability, schedule, and cost.
