Sales Engineer - Enterprise - Mexico

About the role:

As a Sales Engineer at Samsara in Mexico, you’ll be working alongside sales teams to help modernize essential industries through the application of cutting edge IoT solutions. Your work will 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). Deep industry knowledge and the ability to understand customer challenges and objectives will be crucial to ensure the best technical solution is presented to Samsara customers.
