Product Manager - Robotics

Product Manager – Robotics Needham, MA Shape the Future of Home Robotics Home robotics is one of the fastest‑moving spaces in consumer technology — and SharkNinja is leading it. Our robot portfolio reaches millions of households worldwide, and we are investing heavily in what comes next: smarter navigation, richer AI, seamless connectivity, and experiences that genuinely surprise and delight people. We are looking for a Product Manager – Robotics to be at the center of that work. This is a role with real ownership: you will act as the product CEO for your robot platforms, driving them from early concept through mass production and into consumers’ homes. What You’ll Own You will 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. Day to Day 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 Defining and iterating product specifications that balance consumer insight, market opportunity, and engineering feasibility Running competitive benchmarking to identify where SharkNinja can lead — in performance, reliability, and user experience Partnering with Test and Quality to define and manage robot‑specific validation protocols across firmware, hardware, and system‑level testing Owning project timelines across multiple concurrent robot programs in a fast‑paced environment Serving as the technical expert on legacy platforms, translating field data and consumer feedback into next‑generation product decisions Coordinating with external suppliers and software vendors to protect technical requirements and IP What You Bring You are 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 are comfortable holding ambiguity, driving alignment across global teams, and making progress even when the path isn’t fully clear. 2–5+ years in product development, robotics, or software/hardware engineering — consumer robotics or connected devices experience preferred BS in Engineering, Robotics, or a related discipline (or equivalent experience) Deep understanding of robotics technologies and a track record of delivering consumer‑centric products Strong communicator — equally effective in a technical design review and a leadership update Proven ability to manage multiple cross‑functional programs simultaneously A bias toward iteration, transparency, and learning from every product cycle Why This Role This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact position on one of SharkNinja’s fastest‑growing product lines. You will have the scope to influence product direction, the resources to execute, and a team that takes quality seriously. If you want to work on robotics that people actually use every day — not just demos and prototypes — this is the place.
