Get Access To All JobsWho 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 the role:
As a Sales Engineer at Samsara, you’d be an integral part of a diverse team working to help modernize essential industries through the application of cutting edge IoT solutions. Your work would directly contribute to a cleaner, more efficient and productive supply chain by creating safer roadways, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, and providing a consolidated platform for connecting operations. Our daily customer engagements include conversations around how IoT can positively impact logistics management, workplace safety programs, fleet maintenance strategies, global asset management, and regulatory compliance. This means a successful SE at Samsara will develop a thorough understanding of the application of IoT hardware and sensors, hands-on hardware installation strategies, managing data collection over carrier networks, presenting a robust cloud infrastructure, and building third-party system integrations (via our open API) to ensure the best technical solution is presented to Samsara customers.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the TOLA region of the United States except for San Francisco Bay Metros, New York City Metro and Washington DC Metro. This position requires travel up to 50% of the time and proximity to an international airport is preferred.
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, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
- You have an innate curiosity about how businesses work: One day you’ll meet with someone in waste management and the next you may be learning about the inner workings of a food distribution center. Our top sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact.
- You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven’t been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customers value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
- You want to be with the best: Samsara’s high-performance culture means you’ll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.
- You are a team player: At Samsara, sales is a team sport. We help each other out by sharing best practices and focusing on winning as a team.
In this role, you will:
- 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
- Become an expert on Samsara products: where the rubber of cutting-edge tech (IoT, AI, computer vision) meets the road of driving digital transformation for physical operations.
- Articulate to prospects how businesses like theirs use Samsara today to solve challenges common to their industry.
- Deliver the work products that get deals done. Think discoveries, demonstrations, value assessments, proof of concept implementations, etc.
- Walk installers through any scenario, explaining best practices for installing Samsara products and helping build deployment plans.
- Write scripts against our open API that solve real-world problems for companies that deliver essential services (for example), and document them for your fellow SE’s to use.
- Open the door for deeper entrenchment into accounts (integration, upsell, cross sell) by becoming a consultant to your customers.
- Act as a liaison between Samsara’s product and sales teams, translating technical feedback and enrolling the right customers in our beta programs.
Minimum requirements for the role:
- Bachelors’ of Science degree from a 4 year accredited university
- 2+ years experience working with customers in a pre-sales, customer success, or customer/product support capacity
- Ability to influence stakeholders based on your technical sales acumen and a solid understanding of business processes and change management
- Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
- Previous experience managing hardware and/or software product evaluations
- Basic understanding of electronics and electrical systems
- Experience with the following concepts: technical consulting, cloud software, cloud-connected hardware, computer networking, business systems integration, automation and control systems
- Must be located within and authorized to work in the United States
An ideal candidate also has:
- Bachelors’ of Science degree or advanced education in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline
- Work experience in task automation scripting and transferring data between systems using Bash, Python, JavaScript, or equivalent language
- Work experience building solutions leveraging open API’s
- Understanding of vehicle diagnostic systems, including Controller Area Networks (CAN bus) and Power Take Off (PTO) applications
- Hobbyist interest in working with things driven by electronic systems (car audio installation/classic car restoration, home automation, building things with raspberry pi, arduino, etc.)
- Consistent track record of success selling complex technical solutions through strategic sales cycles

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Sales Engineer
Verify your degree supports specialty occupation
USCIS scrutinizes Sales Engineer petitions when the role blends sales duties with technical ones. Pull the O*NET profile for Sales Engineers and document how your engineering or CS degree directly maps to the technical requirements of the specific role.
Target companies with LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to identify employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for Sales Engineer roles specifically, not just engineering broadly. Employers with repeated filings in your technical domain understand the H-1B process and are less likely to withdraw an offer mid-petition.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your work location and job title. Run the OFLC Wage Search for Sales Engineers in your target metro before accepting an offer so you know the wage floor and can negotiate from an informed position.
Flag your technical specialization in your resume
Sales Engineer covers everything from SaaS demos to industrial controls. Employers filing H-1B petitions need a specialty occupation argument, so your resume should lead with the engineering domain, not the sales function, to strengthen the petition narrative before the offer stage.
Confirm E-Verify enrollment before your start date
Your employer must be E-Verify enrolled to hire you on H-1B status. Ask HR to confirm enrollment during the offer negotiation stage, not after you've resigned from your current role. Non-enrolled employers can't legally onboard H-1B workers.
File premium processing if your start date is fixed
Sales Engineer roles often come with quota-driven start dates tied to fiscal quarters. USCIS premium processing guarantees a decision within 15 business days and is worth requesting if your employer has a hard onboarding deadline that standard processing can't meet.
Sales Engineer jobs are hiring across the US. Find yours.
Find Sales Engineer JobsSales Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Sales Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, if the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as engineering, computer science, or a related discipline. The key is that the job description must emphasize technical duties over sales duties. Roles that list a degree as preferred rather than required can draw a Request for Evidence from USCIS, so the job posting language matters before you apply.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most frequently for Sales Engineers?
Enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, semiconductors, industrial automation, and medical devices are the heaviest H-1B filers for Sales Engineer roles. These industries require candidates who can explain complex products to technical buyers, making the engineering degree requirement clear and defensible. You can browse verified sponsors in these sectors on Migrate Mate, filtered specifically for Sales Engineer LCA filings.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Sales Engineer role at a different employer?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as the transfer petition is filed with USCIS, without waiting for approval, provided you're in valid H-1B status. The new employer must file a fresh LCA for your new role and location, and the specialty occupation requirement applies to the new position independently of your previous petition.
How does a Sales Engineer's travel schedule affect H-1B compliance?
Sales Engineers often work across multiple client sites, which creates H-1B worksite compliance obligations. Your employer must file an amended petition or maintain a valid LCA covering each worksite location where you work for more than a short-term period. DOL defines short-term placement rules, but if you're assigned to a client site for extended periods, your employer's HR or legal team needs to account for that in the petition.
What happens to my H-1B status if my Sales Engineer role shifts to a different product line or territory?
A material change in job duties, location, or compensation can require an amended H-1B petition with USCIS. Moving from a technical pre-sales role to a post-sales or account management function, for example, could undermine the specialty occupation basis of your original petition. Document any role changes with your employer's immigration counsel and confirm whether an amendment is needed before the duties formally shift.
