This is a single application for engineering and technology early talent opportunities across SharkNinja. The hiring teams are spread across our electrical, embedded, software, robotics, digital, quality, test, and safety functions. 

Whichever team you join, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on products that reach millions of homes. You might be bringing up a new circuit board, tuning a control algorithm on a robot, writing cloud or mobile code for a connected appliance, building a test rig that runs thousands of cycles, investigating a field return, or helping keep our products and facilities safe and compliant. If you’re technically curious, hands-on, solution-oriented, and ready to make an impact from day one, we want to hear from you!

  • Pursuing a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics or Mechatronics, Quality Engineering, Information Technology, Environmental Health & Safety, or a closely related technical field
  • Strong fundamentals in your discipline — and the curiosity to apply them to problems you haven’t seen before
  • A builder’s mindset: comfortable with lab and test equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, data loggers), hand tools and prototyping, a code editor, or all of the above, depending on your focus
  • Programming or scripting experience in one or more of C, C++, Python, MATLAB, TypeScript, JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, or Swift
  • Able to read and interpret schematics, technical drawings, and product requirements

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
