Mechanical Engineer I - Indoor Heated

Needham, MA — Global Headquarters | Product Development

Why this role

The products in millions of kitchens and living rooms started as a sketch on someone's desk here. We're hiring Mechanical Engineers to take the next generation of Shark and Ninja products from rough concept to retail shelf — fast, and with your fingerprints all over them.

SharkNinja ships at a pace most companies don't attempt. That means less time in review cycles and more time building, testing, breaking, and rebuilding. If you want to see your work in a consumer's hands within a year instead of five, this is the place.

What you'll do

• Own design studies that crack real technical and consumer problems — solo and alongside the team
• Move an idea from sketch to CAD layout to 3D model to working prototype, fast, and use each step to prove or kill the concept
• Carry designs through concept, CAD, prototyping, and verification
• Apply rigorous engineering fundamentals so solutions hold up in the real world, not just on screen
• Build and test prototypes in our on-site labs, then turn results into clear recommendations
• Partner closely with our UK and China Product Development teams so good ideas survive the journey to production
• Make your teammates better — we take a team approach, and everyone here has a voice

What you'll bring

Required

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, Industrial Design Engineering, or similar technical field
• 1–3 years in mechanical, product, or industrial design
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo
• Experience taking real products to market
• Ability to identify, solve, implement, and verify technical solutions independently while working as part of a team
• Comfort in a hands‑on lab environment (training provided)
• A collaborative, entrepreneurial, roll‑up-your-sleeves attitude

Nice to have

• Consumer goods or household appliance experience
• Plastic manufacturing process knowledge
• Working appreciation for electrical engineering, software, or UX design
