About The Position

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company. We are looking for a detail-oriented, passionate, and dynamic individual to join our team as a Product Integrity Engineer to join the Shark Corded team, with a specific focus on design and engineering validation. In this role, you will be embedded in the New Product Development process — working upstream to ensure that quality is designed in, not inspected out. You will partner closely with Engineering, ID, Product Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain on validation activities — including DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and process controls — ensuring products meet or exceed SharkNinja's 5-star quality standard before a single unit reaches a consumer. This role offers unparalleled cross-functional exposure and the opportunity to directly influence product outcomes at the most critical stage of development.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical Engineering, Quality Engineering, Product Development, Human Factors Engineering, or a related field
• 1-2 years of engineering experience with direct involvement in design verification and validation activities, preferably in consumer goods
• Hands-on experience with DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and engineering change management
• Demonstrated understanding of product development lifecycles, document and design change control, and verification and validation methodologies
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and root-cause analysis skills
• Strong communication skills — able to present clearly to all levels of the organization, from engineering teams to senior executives
• Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; SharePoint knowledge a plus
• Able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Collaborative team player. Comfortable working both independently and as part of a cross-functional team

Nice To Haves

• Experience at a consumer goods company (including internships) with high-volume, rapid NPD cycles
• Familiarity with supplier quality processes including PPAP and incoming quality controls
• Exposure to human factors engineering or usability validation methods
• Ability to travel as required to manufacturing sites or supplier facilities

Responsibilities

• Assist and participate in design reviews, DFMEA, DVP&R, and safety reviews throughout the NPD process to proactively identify and mitigate quality risks before tooling and production release
• Help define, develop, and execute design verification and validation plans (DVP&R) in alignment with product requirements and regulatory standards
• Conduct critical analysis of engineering changes (ECNs) to assess potential quality impact and prevent regression or degradation of product performance
• Review and approve manufacturing and test documentation to ensure customer quality requirements are met or exceeded prior to production launch
• Participate in design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews, ensuring early-stage designs account for process capability and production quality controls
• Serve as the quality voice in cross-functional NPD teams — representing quality requirements and consumer expectations in all design and engineering decisions
• Lead input tracker meetings with cross-functional teams; surface top pre-production quality risks and delegate corrective actions
• Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to establish process controls and quality gates ahead of mass production
• Support suppliers in 8D responses and quality resolution meetings, reviewing corrective actions and validation evidence ahead of production milestones
• Coordinate CAPA activities tied to design or process gaps identified during pre-production builds and pilot runs
• Analyze pre-production build data, test failures, and early field learnings to identify design or process risks before market launch
• Define and implement quality metrics and acceptance criteria for validation activities, tracking performance against targets throughout the development cycle
• Drive continuous improvement of pre-production quality processes — identifying systemic gaps and implementing sustainable solutions
• Present validation status, quality risk summaries, and corrective action progress to senior management and cross-functional leadership regularly
