AI at SharkNinja
At SharkNinja, we're building an AI-native culture. We're not waiting for the future; we're creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what's possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn't been invented yet, you'll fit right in.
Senior Embedded Firmware Developer
Needham, MA
The Opportunity
This is the hands-on device firmware role at SharkNinja — you write the code that ships. Two things sit with you: the firmware features SharkNinja 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.
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.
Engineering Standards & Infrastructure
- 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.
Collaboration & Technical Growth
- 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.
What You'll Bring
Experience
- 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.
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an Embedded Software Engineer
Translate firmware experience into PERM job duties
PERM requires the employer to document the exact degree and skills the role demands. List your RTOS, embedded C, and hardware abstraction layer work explicitly in your resume so the job description accurately reflects your specialized duties, not a generic software role.
Target employers with DOL LCA filing history
Search the OFLC Wage Search tool for employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications under embedded systems SOC codes. Prior filings signal an established sponsorship workflow and an immigration team that already understands the PERM process for technical roles.
Verify your role qualifies under EB-2 versus EB-3
If your position requires only a bachelor's degree, it typically falls under EB-3. An EB-2 filing needs an advanced degree or equivalent. The O*NET profile for Embedded Systems Software Developers confirms the typical educational benchmark employers must justify in the PERM application.
Find green-card-sponsoring roles through Migrate Mate
Search Migrate Mate to filter Embedded Software Engineer openings by employers with active green card sponsorship history. You'll see which companies have filed PERM applications in your specialty, cutting weeks off your employer research before you send a single application.
Negotiate green card initiation timing before accepting
Ask explicitly when the employer plans to start PERM after your hire date. Some companies require one to two years of employment first. Agreeing on a written timeline before you sign protects you from indefinite delays after you're already onboarded.
File I-140 concurrently when your priority date allows
Once PERM is certified, USCIS permits concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing if a visa number is immediately available. For EB-3 applicants from most countries outside India and China, this can compress your wait to permanent residence significantly.
Green Card Embedded Software Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Embedded Software Engineer work qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Both categories can apply. EB-3 covers roles requiring a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field. EB-2 applies when the position genuinely requires an advanced degree or your employer can demonstrate the role warrants one. Your employer's attorney determines the appropriate category based on the actual job duties and minimum requirements documented in the PERM filing.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary work visa capped at 85,000 annually and subject to lottery selection. Green card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 has no annual cap at the petition stage and leads to permanent residency. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone takes several months, and visa number backlogs affect applicants from some countries. The permanence and the absence of lottery risk make EB-3 a structurally different path from H-1B.
How long does the PERM process typically take for an Embedded Software Engineer role?
DOL processing for PERM applications currently runs several months under standard review, though audit selection can extend that to a year or more. After PERM certification, USCIS adjudicates the I-140 petition separately. For applicants from most countries, I-485 adjustment of status can follow relatively quickly once a visa number is current. Applicants from India face significantly longer waits due to per-country limits and high demand in technical fields.
What documentation should I prepare to support my employer's PERM application?
Your employer needs evidence that the offered position requires a specialized degree and that no qualified U.S. worker is available. On your side, gather transcripts confirming your degree field, employment verification letters detailing your embedded systems experience, and any patents, publications, or project documentation that demonstrates specialization in firmware, RTOS, or hardware-software integration. Your employer's immigration counsel will align these credentials with the PERM job description.
How do I find Embedded Software Engineer jobs where the employer is already willing to sponsor a green card?
Search Migrate Mate to filter roles by employers with documented green card sponsorship history. This lets you focus your applications on companies that have already completed PERM filings for technical positions, rather than negotiating sponsorship willingness from scratch during interviews. Employers already familiar with the PERM process for embedded roles are far more likely to move efficiently once you receive an offer.
