The Opportunity
This is the hands-on connected-firmware role at SharkNinja — you write the code that makes our products connect. Two things sit with you: the connected features SharkNinja deliberately keeps in-house (wireless connectivity, device provisioning and pairing, over-the-air updates, and the differentiated connected experiences that set our products apart), and the platform layer other connected programs depend on (connectivity stacks, provisioning code, and shared app/cloud integration components).
The connectivity interface contracts, app/cloud API boundaries, and wireless platform selection criteria are already defined. Your work is building to those decisions: production connected-feature code end to end, plus the reference implementations that prove the architecture out for every program and partner that follows.
What You'll Own
Connected Firmware Delivery
- Design, implement, and debug production embedded firmware for connected consumer and home appliance products.
- Connected features end to end — requirements clarification, implementation, unit test, integration, and release support.
- Building in the retained areas: wireless connectivity, device provisioning and pairing, OTA, and differentiated connected experiences.
- Development against the connectivity architecture, interface, and app/cloud integration standards — adopting platform components rather than rebuilding them.
Platform Implementation
- Implement the defined reference architectures and reference implementations — Bluetooth/BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread, and Matter stacks, plus provisioning and pairing code — reused across product categories.
