Senior Sustainability Engineer
About The Position
SharkNinja is working to reduce its environmental impact, and we're looking for a creative problem solver to advance the development of low-carbon products. You have an intuitive grasp of physics and engineering fundamentals, are equally comfortable hacking together a prototype in the lab or analyzing test results, and are passionate about solving the engineering challenges behind sustainable product innovation. This is a hands-on role for an experienced engineer with a deep understanding of energy efficiency and sustainable materials, natural curiosity about how to apply them in new ways, and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering and Product Development to bring these products to market.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Mechanical, Electrical, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline
- 5+ years in design and development
- A track record of bringing energy-efficient, environmentally responsible technologies into products on the market
- Strong analytical skills, a methodical mindset, sharp attention to detail, and a relentless drive to find potential problems and own their resolution
- Clear communication — explaining working principles, translating data into design implications, and making recommendations to technical and non-technical colleagues alike
- Awareness of global eco-legislation for consumer products and how to future-proof designs against it
- Lab experience running controlled experiments on things you designed and built, using a range of test equipment and instrumentation
- CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, Creo, or similar)
- Organization, plus Excel, Python, or MATLAB (or similar) to turn test data into learnings
- Genuine enjoyment of building meaningful professional relationships with colleagues
Nice To Haves
- Applied R&D experience at a consumer products or consulting company
- Experience with analog/digital electronics, related test equipment, and small-appliance components — sensors, motors, heaters, PCBAs
- Understanding of applied fluid mechanics and heat transfer
- Experience designing and executing experimental test plans to guide design decisions
- Comfort multitasking and shifting priorities quickly without losing sight of long-term goals
- Experience working with external experts or consultancies
Responsibilities
- Support development of sustainable consumer products — identify lower-impact opportunities and use hands-on design, testing, and problem-solving to prove out your solutions
- Investigate commercially available and next-generation technologies to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint across key products
- Work daily with Engineering and Product Development to rapidly build understanding of systems, environmental performance levers, and tradeoffs
- Pull in teammates from other disciplines to brainstorm, solve problems, build proof-of-concept prototypes, and test them thoroughly
- Guide and work closely with co-ops and interns
- See your team's work come to life on store shelves, online, and in infomercials — in products with a reduced carbon footprint
