Our robot portfolio reaches millions of households worldwide, and we're investing heavily in what comes next: smarter navigation, richer AI, seamless connectivity, and experiences that genuinely surprise and delight people.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're looking for a Product Manager - Robotics to be at the center of that work. This is a role with real ownership: you'll act as the product CEO for your robot platforms, driving them from early concept through mass production and into consumers' homes.</p> <hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5"> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You'll Own</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You'll sit at the intersection of engineering, software, UX, quality, and commercial teams — the person who holds the full picture of a product and makes sure every piece comes together. Your job is to define what the product needs to be, build the cross-functional alignment to get it there, and never lose sight of the consumer in the process.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Day to day, that means:</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Leading the technical roadmap for SharkNinja's robot portfolio — managing requirements, prioritizing improvements, and championing the integration of advanced technologies including SLAM, AI, and connectivity</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Defining and iterating product specifications that balance consumer insight, market opportunity, and engineering feasibility</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Running competitive benchmarking to identify where SharkNinja can lead — in performance, reliability, and user experience</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partnering with Test and Quality to define and manage robot-specific validation protocols across firmware, hardware, and system-level testing</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Owning project timelines across multiple concurrent robot programs in a fast-paced environment</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Serving as the technical expert on legacy platforms, translating field data and consumer feedback into next-generation product decisions</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Coordinating with external suppliers and software vendors to protect technical requirements and IP</li> </ul> <hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5"> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>What You Bring</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You're technically fluent and consumer-obsessed in equal measure. You understand how robots work — navigation, perception, embedded systems, connectivity — and you know how to translate that understanding into product decisions that matter to real people. You're comfortable holding ambiguity, driving alignment across global teams, and making progress even when the path isn't fully clear.</p> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">2–5+ years in product development, robotics, or software/hardware engineering — consumer robotics or connected devices experience preferred</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">BS in Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience)</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Deep understanding of robotics technologies and a track record of delivering consumer-centric products</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong communicator — equally effective in a technical design review and a leadership update</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Proven ability to manage multiple cross-functional programs simultaneously</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A bias toward iteration, transparency, and learning from every product cycle</li> </ul> <hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5"> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Why This Role</strong></p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is a high-visibility, high-impact position on one of SharkNinja's fastest-growing product lines.
