Product Design Engineer- Advanced Development 

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 detailePr 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 3–5 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.
