Principal Electrical Systems Engineer - Advanced Development

At SharkNinja, our mission to positively impact people's lives every day in every home around the world drives us to innovate with purpose. We're designers and doers, thinkers and tinkerers, committed to creating products that delight consumers. As we continue to grow, we are excited to add a Principal Electrical Systems Engineer - Advanced Development to our global engineering team.

OVERVIEW

• SharkNinja (creator of the Shark and Ninja brands) offers a fast-paced, collaborative environment with opportunities to push the boundaries of consumer product innovation.
• We are looking for a creative and hands-on electrical systems engineer with a strong foundation in multidisciplinary product development and a passion for exploring emerging technologies.
• In this early-stage role, you'll work closely with cross-functional teams to help define, prototype, and evaluate future product platforms-bridging concept to feasibility and enabling new product directions.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• You get to build real prototypes - fast.
• You'll explore emerging tech in sensors, embedded systems, power electronics, wireless, and more.
• Your ideas directly influence future Shark & Ninja products.
• You'll work with a small, highly skilled team of builders, tinkerers, and inventors.
• Access to full labs, tools, and rapid prototyping gear.
• A startup-like innovation vibe backed by a global consumer brand.

Here are some of the EXCITING things you'll get to do:

• Contribute to system architecture and early-stage development across electrical, embedded, and software domains.
• Lead design and validation of reusable electrical and embedded modules.
• Support the creation and refinement of system-level requirements and functional architectures.
• Design, build, and test early prototypes to validate feasibility and inform product direction.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and assess applicability for next-generation platforms.
• Collaborate with global engineering, ID/UX, product, and manufacturing teams.
• Participate in system integration and risk analysis activities across multi-disciplinary subsystems.
• Assist in design reviews and ensure alignment with EMC, safety, and design validation (DVT) requirements.

ATTRIBUTES:

• Strong problem-solving skills and curiosity about how systems interact.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments focused on innovation.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
• Demonstrated initiative and ownership of assigned projects and deliverables.
• Passion for working with emerging technologies and learning new tools and methods.

SKILLS:

• Systems integration across electrical, embedded, and mechanical components
• Analog/digital circuit design, including A/D, D/A, filters, and signal integrity
• Power electronics (AC/DC, flyback, buck/boost, basic regulatory considerations)
• Embedded systems: microcontrollers (ARM, 8/16-bit), memory, and interfaces
• Sensor technologies: IMUs, ToF, IR, cameras, magnetometers, etc.
• Wireless communication: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (basic integration)
• Hands-on prototyping: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or equivalent
• Exposure to edge AI / ML integration is a plus

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• BSc or MS in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline
• 12-20 years of experience in product development or advanced R&D
• Experience in early-stage prototyping, feasibility evaluation, and cross-functional collaboration
