[Hiring] Senior Manager, Safety AI @Samsara

Role Description

The Safety AI team builds end-to-end computer vision and machine learning for Samsara’s AI dash cameras – delivering real-time driver safety insights and in-cab alerts. As a Sr. Manager of Machine Learning, you will:

• Lead teams that fuse on-device computer vision with IMU, GPS, and vehicle diagnostic data to detect, interpret, and surface actionable safety events and continuous risk signals.
• Own the model lifecycle across edge and cloud – data curation, training, evaluation (including shadow/online experiments), deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Develop the core AI platform that powers these capabilities at fleet scale.
• Partner closely with firmware, full-stack, and Platform teams to ship reliable, low-latency features, grounding detections in the “rules of the road” (e.g., stop signs and speed limits) to maximize precision and customer impact.

This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States except the San Francisco Bay Metro Area, NYC Metro Area, and Washington, D.C. Metro Area. This position requires travel up to 5% of the time. Relocation assistance will not be provided for this role.
