## About the Role

* 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.

## Description

* 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.
