Engineering & Technology Intern Opportunities

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company developing consumer products under the Shark and Ninja brands. The Engineering & Technology Intern will support engineering and technology teams across electrical, embedded, software, robotics, digital, quality, test, and safety functions by contributing to product development, testing, troubleshooting, and technical projects.

What you'll do:

• Contribute to the design, development, and validation of next-generation Shark and Ninja products — and the software that powers them
• Work hands-on in labs, at the bench, and in code: building prototypes, test fixtures, scripts, and tools that engineers actually use
• Support debugging, troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and failure investigation on real products and real consumer data
• Develop and execute test plans, document results, and turn data into recommendations that shape design decisions
• Participate in design reviews, sprints, stand-ups, and technical discussions alongside experienced engineers
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Firmware, Quality, Operations, Marketing, and Product Management
• Gain exposure to the full product development lifecycle — ideation and prototyping through certification, mass production readiness, and post-market consumer feedback
• Own a meaningful project end to end and present your contributions to SharkNinja leaders
• Designing, simulating, and evaluating analog and digital circuits — power supplies, signal filtering and amplification, motor control, sensor integration, battery management — using tools such as LTSpice and Altium
• Board bring-up, debugging, and validation of real-time embedded electronics, including serial communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, and UART
• Writing and debugging firmware in C/C++ for microcontrollers and prototyping on platforms such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi
• Developing classical (e.g., PID) and advanced (e.g., MPC) control algorithms in Python, MATLAB, or C++ and tuning them on real hardware

What they're looking for:

• Current student in a related bachelor's or master's or PhD program or has graduated from such a program within the past year
• Must be able to work a full-time, 40-hour-per-week schedule
• 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
• A natural communicator who can explain complex technical topics clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, in writing and out loud
• Strong attention to detail in testing, documentation, and data analysis; offers data-backed insights and constructive feedback
• Comfortable multitasking and shifting between immediate tasks and longer-term projects in a fast-paced environment, with proactive ownership of your work
• Collaborative, positive, and eager to contribute to an innovation-driven team
• Proficient in Microsoft 365, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
