Senior Sustainability Engineer

Needham, MA · On-site

At SharkNinja, our mission is to positively impact people's lives every day, in every home around the world.* We build high-quality, exciting products — and we're just as committed to lowering their environmental footprint. As we grow, we're adding a Senior Sustainability Engineer to our global team.

The role

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.

What you'll do

• 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

What you bring

• 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
• Because the work is hands‑on and team‑based, this role is in person at our Needham, MA office

Nice to have

• 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
