Senior Product Developer; Robotics

Requirements

• You're technically fluent and consumer-obsessed in equal measure
• You understand how robots work — navigation, perception, embedded systems, connectivity — and you know how to translate that understanding into product decisions that matter to real people
• You're comfortable holding ambiguity, driving alignment across global teams, and making progress even when the path isn't fully clear
• 2–5+ years in product development, robotics, or software/hardware engineering — consumer robotics or connected devices experience preferred
• BS in Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)
• Deep understanding of robotics technologies and a track record of delivering consumer‑centric products
• Strong communicator — equally effective in a technical design review and a leadership update
• Proven ability to manage multiple cross‑functional programs simultaneously
• A bias toward iteration, transparency, and learning from every product cycle

• We're looking for a Product Manager - Robotics to be at the center of that work
• This is a role with real ownership: you'll act as the product CEO for your robot platforms, driving them from early concept through mass production and into consumers' homes
• You'll sit at the intersection of engineering, software, UX, quality, and commercial teams — the person who holds the full picture of a product and makes sure every piece comes together
• Your job is to define what the product needs to be, build the cross‑functional alignment to get it there, and never lose sight of the consumer in the process
• Leading the technical roadmap for Shark Ninja's robot portfolio — managing requirements, prioritizing improvements, and championing the integration of advanced technologies including SLAM, AI, and connectivity
• Defining and iterating product specifications that balance consumer insight, market opportunity, and engineering feasibility
• Running competitive benchmarking to identify where Shark Ninja can lead — in performance, reliability, and user experience
• Partnering with Test and Quality to define and manage robot‑specific validation protocols across firmware, hardware, and system‑level testing
• Owning project timelines across multiple concurrent robot programs in a fast‑paced environment
• Serving as the technical expert on legacy platforms, translating field data and consumer feedback into next‑generation product decisions
• Coordinating with external suppliers and software vendors to protect technical requirements and IP
