Senior Electrical Engineer

Senior Electrical Engineer — Embedded Systems

SharkNinja | Needham, MA

About SharkNinja

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
