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 Systems Engineer
Align your credentials to PERM requirements
PERM requires the employer to advertise the role using the minimum qualifications they'll cite in your I-140. If your degree is in electrical engineering but the job description requires computer engineering, flag the mismatch with your employer before the recruitment phase starts.
Target defense and automotive embedded employers
Defense contractors and automotive OEMs file PERM petitions routinely for embedded roles because specialized firmware and safety-critical systems expertise is hard to source domestically. Prioritize employers with active DOL PERM filings in those sectors over general software shops.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check whether the offered salary clears Level I through Level IV thresholds, since embedded roles in high-cost metro areas can trigger Level III or IV requirements.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsoring employers
Search Migrate Mate to filter Embedded Systems Engineer roles by employers with documented green card sponsorship history. Targeting companies that have completed PERM filings before saves time you'd otherwise spend on employers unfamiliar with the process.
Clarify EB-2 vs EB-3 classification with your employer
If you hold a master's degree in electrical engineering or a related field, your employer may petition under EB-2, which can mean shorter wait times for nationals of countries without severe backlogs. Confirm the classification before the I-140 is filed, since changing it later restarts priority date eligibility.
Request concurrent I-485 filing when priority dates allow
Once USCIS approves your I-140, check the Visa Bulletin to see if your priority date is current. If it is, your employer can file your adjustment of status concurrently, letting you obtain an Employment Authorization Document while the green card processes rather than remaining tied to a single employer.
Green Card Embedded Systems Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Embedded Systems Engineer role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Embedded Systems Engineer positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers requiring a bachelor's degree. Roles requiring a master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field can qualify under EB-2. The classification depends on the minimum requirements the employer states in the PERM job description, not your actual credentials alone.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B visa sponsorship is temporary and subject to an annual lottery cap. EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship is permanent and has no lottery. The PERM process requires DOL-supervised recruitment before USCIS reviews the I-140, which adds time upfront, but approval leads to lawful permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status with annual uncertainty.
How long does the PERM process typically take for an Embedded Systems Engineer?
PERM labor certification at the DOL currently takes several months to over a year depending on whether USCIS audits the application. After certification, the employer files an I-140 with USCIS, which can take several additional months on standard processing. For nationals from countries without a visa backlog, adjustment of status can follow shortly after the I-140 is approved.
Where can I find Embedded Systems Engineer jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Embedded Systems Engineer roles at employers with verified green card sponsorship history, filtering out postings from companies that have no PERM filing track record. Targeting employers who have navigated PERM before reduces the risk of starting a process with a company that stalls or withdraws sponsorship mid-filing.
Can my employer start the green card process while I'm on an H-1B?
Yes. Employers can begin the PERM recruitment and filing process while you're on H-1B status. Filing the I-140 early establishes your priority date, which matters significantly if you're from a country with a visa backlog. USCIS also allows H-1B extensions beyond the standard six-year limit once your I-140 has been approved for at least 365 days.
