Mechanical Engineer II - Heated Indoor R&D

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company, known for its innovative consumer products. They are seeking a Mechanical Engineer II to join their R&D team, focusing on developing the next generation of products through design, prototyping, and testing.

Responsibilities:

• Own products from early concept through production — design, prototype, test, iterate, ship
• Design electromechanical systems that integrate motors, sensors, actuators, PCBs, and controls
• Build hands-on prototypes using in-house lab tools, rapid prototyping, and supplier support
• Dig into root-cause analysis and troubleshoot mechanical and system-level issues directly
• Translate product requirements into CAD models, drawings, tolerances, and specs
• Work shoulder-to-shoulder with EE, ID, NPD, and testing teams from day one
• Run design validation, reliability testing, and DFM/DFA reviews

Requirements:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field, plus 1–3 years in product development or R&D
• Real hands-on prototyping experience — you've built and tested physical hardware
• Solid grasp of electromechanical systems (motors, gearing, mechanisms, basic electronics)
• Proficiency in 3D CAD — SolidWorks, Creo, NX, or similar
• Experience taking a product from concept to production
• Comfort with fast-moving, iterative environments where requirements evolve
• Energy and creativity when facing problems no one has solved before
• Consumer products, appliances, or high-volume manufacturing experience
• Rapid prototyping methods — 3D printing, machining, soft tooling
• FEA / CFD simulation tools
