Mechanical Engineer II - Outdoor Heated

At SharkNinja, we’re building an AI-native culture. We’re not waiting for the future; we’re creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what’s possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in.

Most engineers spend years working on one subsystem of one product. Here, you'll take a product from a sketch on a whiteboard to something sitting in millions of homes — and you'll do it in months, not years.

SharkNinja's NPD team designs the products that made us a household name. As a Mechanical Engineer II, you'll own real hardware: designing mechanisms, cutting parts, breaking prototypes, figuring out why they broke, and making the next one better. Our labs, machine shops, and prototyping resources are steps from your desk, not a purchase order away.

If you like being the person who says "give me two days and I'll have something we can test" — read on.

• →Design and build. Take new products from early concept through production — mechanisms, electromechanical assemblies, and the integration of motors, sensors, actuators, PCBs, and controls.
• →Prototype fast. Use our in-house labs, rapid prototyping tools, and supplier network to get functional hardware in hand quickly, then iterate on what you learn.
• →Solve the hard ones. Own hands-on troubleshooting and root-cause analysis when a mechanism, system, or first-of-its-kind idea doesn't behave.
• →Make it real. Translate product requirements into CAD models, drawings, tolerances, and specs that suppliers can actually build to.
• →Make it last. Drive design validation, reliability testing, and DFM/DFA so what ships holds up in the real world.
• →Work across the room. Partner daily with EE, Industrial Design, Product Development, NPD, and test teams — this is a collaborative build, not a handoff chain.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• ~2-4 years in product development or design (if you're close to this range and can show the work, we want to hear from you)
• Real hands-on prototyping experience — you've built and tested physical hardware, not just modeled it
• Experience designing for injection molded plastics or sheet metal for a mass produced product.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar)
• Comfort with fast-moving, iterative work where requirements evolve

• Consumer products, appliances, or high-volume manufacturing experience
• Rapid prototyping methods: 3D printing, machining, soft tooling
• Simulation tools such as FEA or CFD
• Portfolio for the team would review would be a plus

• You'd rather build the thing than debate the thing
• Ambiguity reads as opportunity, not risk
• Your default when something's unclear is "let's figure it out"
• You care how a product feels in someone's hands, not just whether it passes spec

Applications take under 10 minutes. If you meet most — not all — of what's above and you're excited about building consumer hardware, apply. We'd rather see your work than a perfect checklist.

SharkNinja is an equal opportunity employer. We're committed to building a team that reflects the people we design for.

At SharkNinja, we don’t just raise the bar—we push past it every single day.  Our Outrageously Extraordinary mindset drives us to tackle the impossible, push boundaries, and deliver results that others only dream of. If you thrive on breaking out of your swim lane, you’ll be right at home.
