Senior Mechanical Engineer - Corded/Cordless Products
About The Position
SharkNinja is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer for its Corded/Cordless Products division. This role is focused on the early-stage innovation phase, turning ambiguous consumer problems into working prototypes and influencing product roadmap decisions. The engineer will drive front-end technology and feasibility, collaborate with global teams, build proof-of-concept rigs, and work across mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, and connectivity. The position requires strong communication skills, the ability to mentor junior engineers, and a focus on IP development. This is a front-end role where the engineer will define what's possible before a brief exists, working at the edge of technical feasibility.
Requirements
- BS in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a closely related field
- 4–8+ years of experience in mechanical engineering or product design
- Hands-on experience designing electromechanical products in a product development environment
- Proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo
- Experience with plastic part design, including injection-molded, silicone, and rubber components
- Comfortable in the lab: building prototypes, running tests, reporting findings, and determining next steps
- Strong communicator — you can sketch an idea on a whiteboard and defend it in an engineering review
Nice To Haves
- Background in consumer goods or household appliances
- Experience designing sheet metal components
- Familiarity working with IP teams to identify novel or inventive solutions
Responsibilities
- Driving the front-end technology and feasibility roadmap for Corded/Cordless Products products, collaborating with engineering, industrial design, brand, and test kitchen teams across the US, UK, and China

- Working across the full system: mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, connectivity
- Communicating ideas rapidly through sketching, CAD layouts, 3D models, and physical prototypes
- Running design and engineering studies — solo and in teams — with the consumer experience as the north star at every stage
- Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a team culture that treats failure as signal, not setback
- Staying close to IP development, identifying novel and inventive solutions alongside R&D
