About the Role

We are looking for a Product Design Engineer to join the Advanced Development team.

What is Advanced Development at SharkNinja? The Advanced Development team works to define early-stage product concepts and develop them into ideas ready for detailed design. This space is fast-moving and wide-ranging—some projects start with a clear idea, others with a completely blank page. We collaborate across functions to identify, ideate, define, and develop new products that are desirable, feasible, and viable.

What You’ll Do

  • Contribute to early-stage product development by supporting the creation of roadmaps and building out concepts that expand our Ninja Cooking categories.
  • Explore new product opportunities where the Ninja brand can win, using a user-first mindset and sound engineering thinking.
  • Generate innovative ideas within a collaborative and fast-paced environment. You’ll contribute to brainstorming sessions, develop concept sketches, and present compelling product stories.
  • Visualize and prototype your ideas, using sketches, models, and test rigs to communicate and validate concepts. You’ll work hands-on in our development labs and be comfortable with both CAD and physical prototyping tools.
  • Gather cross-functional feedback to shape product direction, showing curiosity and openness while defending strong ideas.
  • Test and evaluate key risks, developing test methods to ensure products meet expectations before entering detailed development.

What You’ll Bring

  • A balanced background in creative thinking, technical understanding, and hands-on problem-solving.
    • Creative: You can generate novel ideas and communicate them through sketches or quick models.
    • Technical: You understand engineering fundamentals across mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing disciplines and can validate your ideas with solid reasoning or basic testing.
    • Practical: You have a hands-on approach and enjoy building prototypes and test rigs to bring concepts to life.
    • Action-oriented: You work proactively, adapt quickly, and maintain momentum even when challenges arise.
  • Organized and logical, with the ability to prioritize and simplify complex problems.
  • Approximately 1–3 years of experience in a design or product development environment.
  • Experience in consumer electronics or related fields is a plus.
  • Familiarity with plastics and metals manufacturing processes.
  • Degree in Design Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field.
  • Proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks or CREO.

Our Culture

At SharkNinja, we don’t just raise the bar—we push past it every single day. Our Outrageously Extraordinary mindset drives us to tackle the impossible, push boundaries, and deliver results that others only dream of. If you thrive on breaking out of your swim lane, you’ll be right at home.
