The OpportunityThis is the hands-on device firmware role at Shark Ninja — you write the code that ships. Two things sit with you: the firmware features Shark Ninja deliberately keeps in-house (device control and the differentiated features that make our products distinct), and the platform layer that other programs build on top of (reference implementations, hardware abstraction, and shared device firmware components).
The architecture, interface contracts, HAL boundaries, and platform selection criteria are already defined. Your work is building to those decisions: production feature code end to end, plus the reference implementations and platform components that prove the architecture out for every program and partner that follows.
What You’ll Own Firmware Delivery- Design, implement, and debug production embedded firmware for consumer and home appliance products.
- Features end to end — requirements clarification, implementation, unit test, integration, and release support.
- Building in the retained areas: device control, OTA, and differentiated product features.
- Development against the architecture, interface, and HAL standards — adopting platform components rather than rebuilding them.
- Implement the defined reference architectures and implementations for platform capabilities reused across product categories.
- Build and maintain hardware abstraction (HAL) layers, shared drivers, and core device firmware components: motor control, sensor and actuator integration, and power management.
- Build to the defined interface contracts and platform decisions.
- Prototype technology options to de-risk decisions ahead of program commitment.
- Participate in technical design reviews for internal and partner-developed firmware.
- Review partner-delivered code and integrate it against Shark Ninja standards.
- Turn architectural intent into working reference code and shipped features that partners and other programs can build against without interpretation.
- Support partner technical capability assessments with hands‑on evaluation of delivered code.
- Write unit tests and maintain code coverage
