Senior Mechanical Engineer – SharkNinja

Join the team turning bold ideas into products millions of people use every day. We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer who loves solving hard problems fast, building things with their hands, and seeing designs go from sketch to store shelf.

What you'll do

You'll own mechanical design from concept through mass production — building prototypes, running the engineering analyses that make designs bulletproof, and partnering with ID, EE, software, quality, and manufacturing to ship products that actually delight people. You'll lead design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and work directly with overseas manufacturing partners to make sure what you design can actually be built at scale.

Specifically, you'll:

Drive mechanical design of components and systems end-to-end, from early concept through MP
Rapidly prototype and test — fail fast, iterate faster
Run DFMEA, tolerance stack-ups, materials selection, and thermal/structural/fluid analysis
Build and execute test plans for functionality, reliability, and safety
Partner cross-functionally to align requirements and deliver integrated solutions
Work with overseas manufacturing partners on feasibility, cost, and repeatability at scale
Lead design reviews and keep risks visible and on track
Mentor junior engineers and help sharpen team practices and tools
Support factory builds, root-cause investigations, and continuous improvement through EVT/DVT/PVT and MP

What you bring

BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field
5–7+ years designing mechanical systems for consumer products or electromechanical devices
Deep knowledge of materials, mechanisms, plastics design, and DFM/DFA for high-volume manufacturing
Strong fundamentals — you can simplify complexity and explore solutions quickly
CAD proficiency (Creo or SolidWorks preferred)
A genuine love of hands-on prototyping and rapid iteration
Experience working with overseas suppliers and manufacturing partners
Clear communication — you can explain trade-offs and technical decisions to any audience
A track record of thriving amid competing priorities and tight timelines
A consumer-first mindset and drive for great product experiences
