Job description

SharkNinjais a global product design and technology company, with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions that positively impact people’s lives in homes around the world. Powered by two trusted, global brands, Shark and Ninja, the company has a proven track record of bringing disruptive innovation to market and developing one consumer product after another has allowed SharkNinja to enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 4,100 associates, the company’s products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.

At SharkNinja, we’re building an AI-native culture. We’re not waiting for the future; we’re creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what’s possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in.

Senior Electrical Engineer — Embedded Systems

At SharkNinja, we build products that people reach for every single day. Our purpose is simple: positively impact lives in every home around the world. We do that through relentless innovation, obsessive attention to quality, and a team culture where every voice matters. If you're someone who wants to build the next big thing — and grow while doing it — you'll fit right in.

About the Role

This is a hands-on technical leadership role for a senior engineer who wants real ownership. You'll drive embedded electronics design — hardware and firmware — across the full product development lifecycle, from early concept through production. You won't be inheriting someone else's architecture. You'll define it.

You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams globally (US, China, and beyond), work directly with contract manufacturers, and be the go‑to technical authority on electrical and firmware decisions for your programs.

What You'll Do

• Lead embedded electronic design from concept to production — schematic capture, PCB layout, firmware (C/ASM), and everything in between
• Define product electrical and firmware architecture as the technical foundation for global teams and contract manufacturing partners
• Coordinate day‑to‑day engineering tasks to hit prototype milestones for internal reviews and research programs
• Partner with Engineering and Product Marketing to develop EBOM cost estimates and assess work effort for new initiatives
• Own compliance — work with the compliance team to ensure products meet global certification standards for consumer electronics
• Develop clear, thorough hardware and firmware specifications and documentation
• Lead EMI/EMC and compliance issue resolution through rigorous root cause analysis
• Report program status to global EE leadership and contribute to organizational goal‑setting
• Mentor junior engineers and help raise the technical bar across the team

What You'll Bring

Required:

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years in embedded hardware and firmware design, with full product development cycles under your belt
• Proven ability to design electronics from scratch — not just adapt existing designs
• Experience in component selection, system architecture, design verification, and documentation
• Firmware development for microcontrollers: design, test, and debug
• Familiarity with DFM, DFT, and reliability principles
• EMI/EMC troubleshooting and compliance resolution experience
• Strong communicator — comfortable presenting technical decisions to cross‑functional and global audiences
• Self‑directed, with the ability to manage your own priorities in a fast‑moving environment

Nice to Have:

• Consumer product or consumer goods consulting experience
• Familiarity with compilers, IDEs, JIRA, and SVN
• Experience working within distributed, multi‑site engineering teams

We move fast. We build things people actually use. And we take pride in hiring people who are better than the last hire — which means you'll be surrounded by engineers who push you. If you want a role where you can leave your fingerprints on products used by millions, this is it.
