📋 Description

• Own Automation as a Product: Define and drive high-impact, end-to-end automation solutions. You don’t just facilitate testing; you architect the bridge between hardware development and rapid software delivery across the entire product lifecycle. • Drive Technical Vision & Delivery: Act as the technical North Star for the team. You take full accountability for the end-to-end delivery of complex automation solutions, while elevating the collective bar through intentional mentoring and technical leadership. • Identify & Build Opportunities: Proactively partner with Firmware and QE to uncover bottlenecks in the developer experience. You don’t wait for requirements; you identify friction points in testing speed and quality and build solutions to eliminate them. • Architect for the Future: Design and scale robust software frameworks capable of handling the rigorous reliability and performance demands of a global device fleet. • Optimize Workflows with AI: Pioneer the integration of AI tools and intelligent automation to streamline development and testing workflows, significantly reducing manual overhead and accelerating the feedback loop for our engineers. • Bridge the Hardware-Software Gap: Develop sophisticated software that turns physical hardware infrastructure into a seamless, scalable automation utility. You will integrate simulation and validation tools that support both current products and unreleased next-generation designs. • Drive Organizational Adoption: Act as an internal evangelist for your tools. You ensure long-term success not just by shipping code, but by conducting high-value demos, tutorials, and proof-of-concepts that prove the framework's value to Firmware and QE users. • Engineer Realistic Simulation: Create high-fidelity simulation environments that unlock platform-wide functional testing before hardware even reaches the bench. • Solve for the "Why": Create measurable impact by developing deep empathy for your internal customers. You identify their core pain points and move beyond "bug fixing" to recommend and implement strategic, long-term solutions. • Champion, role model, and embed Samsara’s cultural principles as we scale globally and across new offices.

🎯 Requirements

• Five years of experience developing software, bonus points for emphasis on testing/software tools for product development and validation. • Understanding of tradeoffs between efficiency, scalability, and performance. • Extensive experience in code reviews, especially cross-functional/cross-discipline. • Experience creating and implementing hardware-in-the-loop simulation. • Technical understanding of communication protocols (TCP, UART, and wireless). • Ability to design and develop hardware infrastructure for test applications. (e.g. power measurement tools, RF testing, etc.). • Experience with test instrumentation, including the use of power supplies, power analyzers, battery simulators, call boxes, and GPS simulators. • Experience working and developing within a Linux environment.

🏖️ Benefits

• Full time employees receive a competitive total compensation package along with employee-led remote and flexible working, health benefits, and much, much more.
