Senior Electrical Engineer - Embedded Systems
SharkNinja | Needham, MA | Onsite 5 days/week
About SharkNinja
We build products people reach for every day, with a purpose to positively impact lives in homes around the world. That happens through relentless innovation, obsessive attention to quality, and a culture where every voice matters. If you want 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 concept through production, defining the architecture rather than inheriting someone else's. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams globally (US, China, and beyond), work directly with contract manufacturers, and serve as 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, covering schematic capture, PCB layout, and firmware (C/ASM). Define product electrical and firmware architecture as the technical foundation for global teams and contract manufacturing partners, and coordinate day-to-day engineering work to hit prototype milestones for internal reviews and research programs. Partner with Engineering and Product Marketing on EBOM cost estimates and effort assessments for new initiatives, and own compliance by working with the compliance team to meet global certification standards. Develop clear hardware and firmware specifications, lead EMI/EMC and compliance issue resolution through rigorous root cause analysis, report program status to global EE leadership, and mentor junior engineers to raise the technical bar across the team.
What You'll Bring
Required:
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) and 5+ years designing embedded hardware and firmware through full product development cycles, with a proven ability to design electronics from scratch rather than adapt existing designs.
Experience in component selection, system architecture, design verification, and documentation, plus firmware development for microcontrollers (design, test, debug).
Familiarity with DFM, DFT, and reliability principles, along with EMI/EMC troubleshooting and compliance resolution experience.
Strong communication skills for presenting technical decisions to cross-functional and global audiences, and the self-direction 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 in distributed, multi-site engineering teams.
Why SharkNinja
We move fast and build things people actually use. You'll be surrounded by engineers who push you to be better - and if you want a role where you leave your fingerprints on products used by millions, this is it.
Salary and Other Compensation: The annual salary range for this position is displayed below. Factors which may affect starting pay within this range may include geography/market, skills, education, experience and other qualifications of the successful candidate.
The Company offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements: medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts (HSA) with company contribution, 401(k) retirement plan with matching, employee stock purchase program, life insurance, AD&D, short-term disability insurance, long-term disability insurance, generous paid time off, company holidays, parental leave, identity theft protection, pet insurance, pre-paid legal insurance, back-up child and eldercare days, product discounts, referral bonus program, and more.
