Senior Mechanical Engineer - Corded/Cordless Products

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company known for its innovative consumer products. They are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the early-stage innovation for Corded/Cordless Products, focusing on transforming consumer problems into viable product solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Driving the front-end technology and feasibility roadmap for Corded/Cordless Products products, collaborating with engineering, industrial design, brand, and test kitchen teams across the US, UK, and China
• Building proof-of-concept rigs and functional prototypes to stress-test ideas early — before the business invests in full development
• Working across the full system: mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, connectivity — you see the whole picture, not just your slice of it
• 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
• Mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a team culture that treats failure as signal, not setback
• Staying close to IP development, identifying novel and inventive solutions alongside R&D

Requirements:

• 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
• Background in consumer goods or household appliances
• Experience designing sheet metal components
• Familiarity working with IP teams to identify novel or inventive solutions
