About The Position

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company. This is a hands-on role with real creative latitude where you'll work across the full product lifecycle — from initial concept through mass production — on a team that moves fast, prototypes early, and takes consumer experience seriously at every stage. You'll be a core contributor on a cross-functional engineering team, owning design problems from first principles through manufacturable solutions. You will define product architecture on innovative new haircare platforms, collaborating closely with electrical, ID, and product development teams. You will design parts and assemblies for injection molding, sheet metal, extrusion, machining, and other manufacturing processes. You will build and iterate prototypes for design reviews, performance testing, and consumer validation. You will integrate electrical systems into mechanical designs, evaluating trade-offs and making meaningful design decisions. You will design and execute DOEs to develop a rigorous, first-principles understanding of key performance variables. You will tear down, debug, and analyze electro-mechanical appliances to identify root causes and improvement opportunities. You will source and validate critical components with global manufacturing and vendor partners. You will research emerging technologies to help shape SharkNinja's future product roadmap.
