9h•$17 - $44•Onsite

About The Position

SharkNinja is looking for a highly motivated Noise and Vibrations Co-Op to join the team to enable us to create a new generation of innovative products across our Shark & Ninja ranges. This team member will participate in supporting product teams in evaluating and analyzing noise and vibration issues in new and innovati ve products, as well as designing and offering solutions for creating 5-star, quality sounding products. We’re seeking a strong noise and vibrations engineer co-op with a passion for sound quality and an eagerness to make meaningful impacts in people’s lives.

Requirements

Education: Current student in their third year or beyond of a bachelor's program, or currently enrolled in a master’s program
Must be able to work a full-time, 40-hour-per-week schedule with 5 days per week onsite in Needham, MA
Undertaking a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics Engineering, or similar
Knowledge of mechanical engineering, basic physical acoustics, psychoacoustic, and noise control principles
Understanding of vibrating systems and how modifications of different parameters affect the resulting response
A natural and effective communicator capable of reducing abstract concepts to reality
Solid analytical skills, attention to detail, and relentless drive to identify potential problems and take responsibility for their resolution
Intellectual curiosity and creativity, strong first principles thinking, positive can-do attitude, and proven ability to deliver robust, elegant, and innovative solutions to complex design challenges
Willingness to roll up sleeves and dive into hands-on development and testing workstreams
Ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical colleagues clearly, effectively, and concisely.
Comfortable multitasking and responding quickly to shifting priorities without losing sight of longer-term projects
Is passionate about acoustics and improving consumer noise experience with our products
Can identify, solve, implement and verify technical solutions autonomously and as part of a team
“Hands-on” -building of prototypes, experimental testing of some sort, either in the workshop or in a science context
Embodies SharkNinja's success drivers: Rarely Satisfied – Adopt a “no delays” mentality in delivering against market needs/timing
Progress over Perfection - Make quick, daily progress and continuously adapts to achieve results rather than requiring perfect planning
Details Make the Difference - Can coordinate timelines & deliverables to ensure accuracy and consistency across all consumer-facing materials
Winning is a Team Sport - Ability to develop strong cross-functional relationships
Communicate for Impact - Strong communication skills - ability to deliver effective presentations to all levels of management

Nice To Haves

Has exposure to a CAD program (ideally SolidWorks or Creo) and 3D printing/laser cutting
Experience with hands-on prototype development in plastic and metal including using basic machine shop tools.
Familiarity with electronics (analog/digital), test equipment (microphones, accelerometers), and components common in small appliances (sensors, motors, heaters, PCBAs, etc.)

Responsibilities

Assist in acoustic and vibrational testing of a wide variety of consumer products
Analyze acoustic and vibration frequency spectra to identify and localize noise sources
Work within our multi-disciplinary product development teams to create meaningful sound power and sound quality improvements
Integrate with other engineering and product development teams to help review designs and offer insights into noise performance
Design, implement, build prototypes, and test solutions to various noise and vibration issues
Work within the R&D team to lead the research of novel noise reduction and control techniques
Be naturally curious and relentlessly driven to find better solutions to everyday problems
Demonstrate integrity and courage in the way you work, breaking the mold isn’t easy
