Mechanical Engineer II - Outdoor Heated

SharkNinja•Needham, MA

1d•$76,500 - $110,000•Onsite

About The Position

SharkNinja's NPD team designs the products that made us a household name. As a Mechanical Engineer II, you'll own real hardware: designing mechanisms, cutting parts, breaking prototypes, figuring out why they broke, and making the next one better. Our labs, machine shops, and prototyping resources are steps from your desk, not a purchase order away. If you like being the person who says "give me two days and I'll have something we can test" — read on.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
~2-4 years in product development or design (if you're close to this range and can show the work, we want to hear from you)
Real hands-on prototyping experience — you've built and tested physical hardware, not just modeled it
A solid grasp of electromechanical systems: motors, gearing, mechanisms, and basic electronics integration
Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar)
Comfort with fast-moving, iterative work where requirements evolve

Nice To Haves

Consumer products, appliances, or high-volume manufacturing experience
Rapid prototyping methods: 3D printing, machining, soft tooling
Simulation tools such as FEA or CFD

Responsibilities

Design and build. Take new products from early concept through production — mechanisms, electromechanical assemblies, and the integration of motors, sensors, actuators, PCBs, and controls.
Prototype fast. Use our in-house labs, rapid prototyping tools, and supplier network to get functional hardware in hand quickly, then iterate on what you learn.
Solve the hard ones. Own hands-on troubleshooting and root-cause analysis when a mechanism, system, or first-of-its-kind idea doesn't behave.
Make it real. Translate product requirements into CAD models, drawings, tolerances, and specs that suppliers can actually build to.
Make it last. Drive design validation, reliability testing, and DFM/DFA so what ships holds up in the real world.
Work across the room. Partner daily with EE, Industrial Design, Product Development, NPD, and test teams — this is a collaborative build, not a handoff chain.
