Sam Lee is a Director of Hardware Engineering at Verkada. Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure in working for Sam Lee at Blok Party in ramping up a new product at CM factory. Sam Lee is the seasoned Technology Leader in consumer electronics space. He is strong in technical expertise, especially in End to End electronics design. His leadership in new technology development is strong and instrumental for new product development. Because of his strong leadership in cross-functional team of both Internal and external stakeholders, the ramp up of new product is becoming much smoother and the collaboration are getting much more successful. He is the key driving force for both CM and External Stakeholders to achieve the new level of success. He is also good in building new team and always provide right level of guidance and coaching to the team member even at business critical situation. He is always positive and optimistic even at the middle of the challenging & critical business period. He is setting up a good benchmark for the team member to follow. I would recommend Sam Lee to any Technology positions at the similar capacity at the similar space.", "For the past three years, Sam has been the manager of three complex RF projects. He has consistently demonstrated adhering to the highest standards and always has good instincts when it comes to troubleshooting and resolving complex issues concerning the program. He made sure the entire team worked towards the success of the projects by developing and organizing relevant timelines and delegating necessary engineering tasks to the engineers. He always communicated regularly with the cross functional teams to make sure everyone is on the same page. Sam also is an integral part during the build process at the ODM facilities. He always provides guidance and leadership in terms of prioritizing issues to the ODM teams, especially during key milestones. Sam’s friendly and patient demeanor also makes it a pleasure for anyone to work with him.", and "Over the past 2 years that I've worked with Sam I have come to realize that he knows exactly what it takes to deliver a complex, high quality product from prototype designs through mass production. He chases the highest quality in his work and is always on top of every task he takes on. Sam is a great mentor and leader to his team, leading by example with his hard work and attention to detail. I have worked on 2 successful projects with him as hardware lead. He ensured that the team had a well defined schedule of tasks for each build cycle and that the team stayed on schedule. Not only does Sam offer his hardware design expertise when his team has questions, but he encourages his team to dive deeper and further their own knowledge and skills. Sam gets his team to want to work hard for him and doesn't accept sub par work, which shows in the success of the projects his team has delivered. Sam also works very well with cross functional teams, understanding the importance all teams have in the on-time delivery of the product. He is constantly working with software, product-design, antenna, and base-band teams to ensure all teams have the support they need from his RF system team. He stays on top of the progress and work of all cross-functional teams. At a factory build, he caught unexpected problems related to product-design and took the lead to ensure the problem was solved while our PD engineer was unavailable. My first hand experiences working with Sam have proven to me that he has what it takes as a cross-functional project lead and I can highly recommend him as such."
