Tech Lead Applied Scientist

Responsibilities

• You will be the technical thought leader and you will lead the design and implementation of our most critical Safety AI initiatives including real-time perception systems that run across millions of edge devices in the physical world and the cloud. The scale and constraints make this an extremely unique applied ML…
• Architect end-to-end computer vision pipelines for real-world safety detection — object detection, tracking, semantic segmentation, multi-camera fusion, and beyond
• Drive the technical roadmap for edge and cloud perception, including how we optimize and deploy models on constrained hardware without sacrificing accuracy
• Partner closely with our hardware and firmware teams — we build our own devices, which means you'll have a rare ability to co-design the full stack
• Work with petabyte-scale multimodal data (video, sensor, telematics, diagnostics) to train and iterate on production models
• Stay at the frontier of CV and perception research and translate what matters into shipped product
• Mentor and technically guide senior scientists and engineers across the team
• Bring clarity to ambiguous problems — translating customer and business needs into precise, solvable engineering challenges.
• 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
