Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations Cloud, a platform enabling organizations in physical operations—agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing—to harness IoT data for actionable insights and operational improvement.
You will own hardware compliance and certification requirements for Samsara's device ecosystem, including vehicle gateways, cameras, and sensors. This is a new role within the Security organization, positioned at the intersection of hardware, cybersecurity, and automotive technology. You will translate dense regulatory and compliance requirements into actionable engineering specifications, working closely with Firmware, Hardware, and Platform Security teams.
Key responsibilities include:
- Coordinate with Engineering and Technical Program Management on compliance assessments and audits driven by OEM commercial vehicle partners, from intake through completion
- Partner with the Application Security team on threat modeling and firmware analysis, translating compliance requirements into concrete engineering solutions
- Own Samsara's FirstNet Program and annual certification activities
- Research and propose solutions to compliance gaps, weighing trade-offs and communicating risk clearly to engineering partners
- Participate in customer and auditor conversations on device security posture, building toward owning these interactions independently
- Identify and build automation surrounding audit requirements and evidence gathering
- Champion Samsara's cultural principles as the company scales globally
As you grow in the role, you will lead direct conversations with internal teams, customers, partners, and auditors. This position offers the opportunity to move from a broader compliance or engineering background into a specialized niche at the intersection of hardware, cybersecurity, and automotive technology.
REQUIREMENTS:
Minimum:
- 3+ years of relevant compliance or engineering experience
- Experience with carrier or cellular per-device certification for public-safety or first-responder wireless networks, or similar programs (e.g., FirstNet)
- Hands-on experience with ISO 21434 processes, including Item Definition, TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment), Cybersecurity Goals and Concept, and Cybersecurity System Requirements (decomposition into Hardware and Software Security Requirements)
- Experience with validation and verification of control requirements, including exposure to penetration testing and independent assessments
- Working knowledge of automotive cybersecurity fundamentals: key and certificate management, authenticated boot, flash, OTA, diagnostic access, authenticated messaging, encryption tradeoffs, and hardware security modules (HSMs) and how these apply to compliance requirements
- Ability to research and propose solutions with clear trade-off reasoning and communicate risk clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
Ideal:
- Familiarity with UNECE R155 and RED / EN 18031
- Background in an OEM or automotive innovation and autonomy group, rather than traditional legacy automotive
- Prior exposure to OEM partnership-driven compliance work with commercial vehicle manufacturers
