Senior Embedded Firmware Developer

• 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.

Platform Implementation

• 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.

Design Review & Partner Governance

• Participate in technical design reviews for internal and partner-developed firmware.
• Review partner-delivered code and integrate it against SharkNinja 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 against the standard applied across internal and supplier code; resolve static analysis findings, with no unresolved critical or high-severity issues at release.
• Build and maintain CI pipeline, static analysis configuration, and test-harness infrastructure for owned features and platform components.
• Verify the reproducibility standard in practice - confirm that source, toolchain, and build manifest deliverables actually rebuild the shipping binary.
• Work in feature branches with PR-gated merges, ticket-linked commits, and commit messages sufficient to generate release notes., * Work under the technical direction of Principal Engineers on platform capabilities and design review, building toward broader architectural scope over time.
• Bring up firmware on target hardware and debug hardware-software integration issues with Hardware Engineering.
• Partner with Systems Engineering and NPD on device-level requirements and integration.
• Coordinate with firmware engineers in other regions to drive continuous improvement.

• 5+ years of embedded software and firmware development.
• Production firmware you’ve delivered and shipped in commercial products.
• Building to an architecture defined by others - implementing reference designs, drivers, or platform components from documented interface contracts.
• Consumer electronics, home appliances, robotics, or comparable high-volume products (preferred).
• CI/CD, automated testing, or build infrastructure for embedded systems (strongly preferred).
• Reviewing or integrating code from external development partners (an advantage).

Technical Expertise

• Strong embedded C; C++ on resource-constrained platforms.
• Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
• Hardware abstraction layer implementation and platform portability.
• Microcontroller peripherals, drivers, and low-level hardware interfaces.
• Motor control, sensor/actuator integration, and power management.
• Git-based workflows, CI builds (gcc, CMake, headless), unit testing (Ceedling or equivalent), static analysis.
• Debug on target hardware - oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, trace.
• OTA update mechanisms and device security fundamentals., * Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline required.
