From the employer

Who We Are

Verkada is transforming how organizations protect their people and places with an integrated, privacy-sensitive AI-powered platform that includes solutions for video security, access control, air quality sensors, alarms, intercoms, and visitor management.

We’ve got serious momentum in the market: more than 30,000 customers (including 100+ of the Fortune 500), a $5.8B valuation, more than $1 billion in annualized bookings, and backing from CapitalG, Sequoia Capital, General Catalyst, Felicis Ventures, Next47 and more. Physical AI is one of the most consequential technology shifts of our time, and Verkada is at the center of it.

You can look at all kinds of communities to see our platform’s impact in the world. It's the retailer that uses our agentic AI to deter theft before it happens. The warehouse that uses AI-powered alerts to make sure its team is protected on the floor with proper PPE. The school that’s alerted to a threat in real-time and triggers a lockdown in seconds, not minutes. We’re rapidly scaling this impact: today, more than 2 million Verkada devices are deployed across 170+ countries.

About the Role

The program modules will include weekly assignments/assessments and hands-on training to ensure you can apply what you learn, and more importantly, succeed as a Solutions Engineer at Verkada.

After completing the ASE training program, you will be fluent in Verkada products and will have mastered the networking fundamentals required to connect Verkada products to the Cloud. You will have also acquired the soft skills necessary to become a trusted advisor when talking with customers, key stakeholders, product managers, and your Account Executives. Graduates from this program will have the opportunity to transition into Solutions Engineers, which is one of the most sought-after careers in Silicon Valley. As a Solutions Engineer, you will have the opportunity to be the bridge between Engineering and Technical Sales.

What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, a STEM related degree from an accredited University
  • Master’s Degree is a plus
