Design and build prototypes for internal review, testing, and consumer validation
Independently identify and solve a broad range of problems using an analytical approach
Lead cross-functional brainstorming sessions and encourage out-of-the-box thinking
Lead peer design reviews — think critically about new product concepts and ask the provocative questions that drive positive change
Collaborate with and influence R&D, ID, Marketing, and Quality to develop our next generation of products
Design and execute DOEs to build a first-principles understanding of key variables
Create test protocols per SharkNinja specifications, generate test reports, and proactively communicate testing status
Review and interpret test results, then recommend product improvements
Tear down, debug, and analyze electro-mechanical small appliances
Research new technologies and stay current on what's possible for future products
Champion new ideas from concept to finish with out-of-the-box engineering solutions
Work within a multi-disciplinary team to define, design, build, and test new products across the full lifecycle, from initial conception to mass production
Explore and source materials, vendors, and components
Build and troubleshoot prototypes independently, mentoring junior engineers as needed

What you bring

BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering
3–5+ years in product design and development, working within cost and manufacturing limitations
Solid understanding of heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid flow
CAD proficiency in ProE/Creo or SolidWorks
Proven familiarity with production processes such as injection molding and sheet metal forming, plus prototyping techniques such as 3D printing
An engineering portfolio showing examples of prior design work is recommended

Nice to have

Demonstrated experience in the detailed design of consumer products
Solid understanding of mass production manufacturing techniques for plastic and sheet metal components
Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a relentless drive to find potential problems and own their resolution
Familiarity with electro-mechanical assemblies: motors, heating elements, sensors, PCBAs, buttons
Hands-on experience with machine shop equipment
Strong fabrication skills, comfort with hand tools, and the ability to prototype quickly
Flexibility — you enjoy switching gears and thrive in an extremely fast-paced environment
A desire to shape the cutting-edge consumer appliances on store shelves by driving how those products function
Ability to travel globally, including trips to China and the UK
A passion for cooking and food is a plus
