Senior Mechanical Engineer - Corded/Cordless Products
About The Position
SharkNinja is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer for its Corded/Cordless Products division. This is a front-end innovation role focused on turning ambiguous consumer problems into working prototypes and influencing product roadmap decisions. The engineer will be embedded in the early-stage innovation phase, driving technology and feasibility roadmaps, collaborating with global teams, and building proof-of-concept rigs and functional prototypes. The role involves working across the full system, including mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, and connectivity, and communicating ideas through various design tools. The engineer will also run design and engineering studies, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to IP development.

- 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

- 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
