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:
Samsara is seeking a high-impact, strategic seller to lead the go-to-market execution for our newest frontier: AI Products. As an Enterprise Specialist (Overlay), you will partner with our Account Executives (AEs) to build deep partnerships with our largest, most complex accounts. You aren't just selling a tool; you are pioneering GTM, ensuring our customers realize continuous value from AI-driven automation.
About the Team:
This specialist team reports into a Sales Director (SD) and consists of specialist sellers aligned by segment and product. AEs on the team are charged with accelerating the growth of a new product and will be incentivized on quarterly product sales targets mapped to 1 or more regional directors for mainline sellers in the segment. Product Specialist sellers drive growth through strategic, high-value deal executing and enabling the segment overall to be successful.
This is a remote position open to candidates residing in the United States.
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're meeting with a VP of Operations in waste management; the next, you're diving into the logistics of a global food distributor. You seek to understand the "unit of value" for every customer.
- You are an AI pragmatist: You understand that AI Products are about outcomes, not just "cool tech." You can translate LLM and agentic capabilities into tangible safety and efficiency gains for the physical world.
- You build genuine, high-stakes relationships: Our customers operate in "boots-on-the-ground" industries. They value earned trust and partners who understand their operational realities.
- 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: In an overlay role, your success is tied to the success of the broader account team. You lead through influence, not just authority.
In this role you will:
- Architect deals that align Samsara's AI Products value with customer use cases to provide maximum value and return on investment
- Co-develop new product pipeline with ADRs/AEs across high potential "AI-ready" accounts
- Drive high-touch pilot strategy and success metrics for early adoption
- Partner with GTM and Product to feed back insights and help shape roadmap
- Build frameworks, assets and insights that scale across the sales org
Minimum requirements for the role:
- 5+ years in complex, full-cycle Enterprise sales.
- 2+ years of direct experience selling in AI-based commercial models (e.g., Snowflake, AWS, Twilio, or AI-native platforms).
- Proven Track Record: Consistent quota over-achievement in complex accounts with $500k+ ARR transactions.
- Deal Complexity: Demonstrated success navigating 6- and 7-figure deals involving multiple stakeholders (Legal, Procurement, InfoSec, and C-Suite).
- Entrepreneurial Agility: Experience selling "Version 1.0" products where the playbook is still being written.
An ideal candidate also has:
- Experience working in a specialist/overlay co-selling with a mainline AE team.
- 4+ years direct experience selling AI-based commercial models with a deep understanding of forecasting and expansion mechanics.
- Strong grasp of AI/ML concepts and how AI Products differ from standard automation.
Total Rewards
At Samsara, we build for the people who keep the global economy moving. We want owners, not passengers, which is why our rewards are designed to fuel high-impact builders. Our compensation program delivers above-market total compensation through a combination of base salary, performance-based bonus/variable pay, and equity (for eligible roles) in a high-growth public company. We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more. If you're ready to build for the long term and own the outcome, your journey starts here.

Search Electronics Jobs in IllinoisElectronics H-1B Sponsorship Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
Which electronics companies in Illinois sponsor H-1B visas?
Several Illinois-based electronics and hardware employers have consistent H-1B visa sponsorship histories. Motorola Solutions and Zebra Technologies in Schaumburg and Lincolnshire regularly file petitions for engineering roles. Abbott Laboratories sponsors hardware and medical device engineers in the North Shore suburbs. Belden and Littelfuse also appear in DOL disclosure data as Illinois-based electronics sponsors. Sponsorship patterns vary by hiring cycle and role availability.
Which cities in Illinois have the most electronics H-1B sponsorship jobs?
The Chicago metro area, particularly the northern and northwestern suburbs including Schaumburg, Libertyville, and Lisle, concentrates the largest share of electronics H-1B sponsorship activity in Illinois. The I-88 technology corridor stretching toward Aurora and Naperville hosts additional hardware and semiconductor employers. Chicago's urban core supports electronics roles in telecommunications infrastructure and consumer hardware.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in Illinois?
Roles that require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field qualify as H-1B specialty occupations. In Illinois electronics, this includes electrical engineers, hardware design engineers, embedded systems engineers, RF engineers, PCB layout engineers, and semiconductor process engineers. Roles in quality assurance and test engineering also qualify when the position requires a relevant engineering or physics degree.
How do I find electronics H-1B sponsorship jobs in Illinois?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by visa type, state, and industry to surface Illinois electronics roles where employers have active H-1B sponsorship histories. Because general job boards don't filter by sponsorship willingness, Migrate Mate saves significant time by focusing exclusively on positions relevant to international candidates seeking H-1B sponsorship in fields like hardware engineering and electronics manufacturing.
Are there state-specific considerations for H-1B sponsorship in Illinois electronics roles?
Illinois does not impose state-level restrictions on H-1B employment, but Illinois employers must comply with Department of Labor prevailing wage requirements tied to the specific metropolitan area, with Chicago-Naperville-Elgin wage determinations applying to most electronics roles. Illinois also has a strong union presence in some manufacturing segments, though most engineering and design roles are not union-covered. Employers filing LCAs must post the required notice at the Illinois worksite.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B electronics jobs in Illinois?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
