About Us  SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company, with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions that positively impact people’s lives in homes around the world. Powered by two trusted, global brands, Shark and Ninja, the company has a proven track record of bringing disruptive innovation to market, and developing one consumer product after another has allowed SharkNinja to enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 3,600+ associates, the company’s products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.    Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer     SharkNinja is looking for a highly motivated Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer to join Ninja’s Coffee R&D Engineering team. The R&D team is responsible for the “how it works” and performance of our products. This includes front-end innovation of new technologies, integrating them into new products, and working with a cross-functional team to iterate through the entire product development process up to mass production. This role is primarily an individual contributor role leading R&D work on multiple projects and doing hands-on engineering work in the lab every day, but part of the role will also be mentoring the other engineers and Co-Ops on the team.   We seek a creative problem solver who possesses a deep, intuitive grasp of physics and engineering fundamentals, is equally comfortable hacking together a prototype in the lab or working through theories on a whiteboard, and is passionate about solving tough engineering challenges. They build and modify prototypes, create and execute test plans, analyze data, and develop theories that may be referenced in product development here for years to come – or overturned with tomorrow’s test results as they build an even deeper understanding of how things work. This is not a CAD focused role, but you will drive the design of the product through participation in design reviews and close collaboration with other teams. A successful candidate must be able to think like both a scientist and an engineer and must understand better than anyone else how things function and what levers to pull to make them work better.   We also seek a leader who will oversee the technical performance workstreams on one or more projects. They will work with the cross-functional product development team to be the voice of what’s possible from the technology, and they will help steer the project direction while always challenging themselves and their teams to push the limits of product performance. A successful candidate must be able to think both big picture and get into the details on a daily basis, and they must be prepared to balance being a deep technical expert while working, thinking, and leading cross-functionally.   Attributes: Ability to break down complex problems into first principles, generate a plan/approach to resolve the problems, and then execute using a fail-fast and “progress over perfection” mindset Strong understanding of mechanical engineering/physics fundamentals including heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanical design Solid analytical skills, strong attention to detail, and relentless drive to identify potential problems and take responsibility for their resolution Ability to quickly, effectively, and concisely communicate with both technical and non-technical colleagues verbally and in writing Adept at multitasking and responding quickly to shifting priorities without losing sight of longer-term projects and goals Strong ability to articulate and advocate for your ideas, and willingness to both challenge others and be challenged yourself on the merits of ideas   Qualifications: BS or MS in Engineering (Mechanical or similar discipline) 5+ years of related experience in product development or a related field, ideally in a fast-paced, startup type environment Proven record of delivering robust, elegant, and innovative solutions to complex engineering challenges, leading projects, and managing or mentoring other engineers Experience with general hands on mechanical and electrical fabrication (power tools, sheet metal work, electrical wiring, etc.) Experience with electronics, test equipment, and components common in small appliances (sensors, motors, heaters, PCBAs, etc.) Basic CAD experience Advanced skills in using Excel (or similar programs) to organize and analyze test data Due to the hands-on nature of the role working with prototypes this is an in-person role at our Needham, MA office.   Diversity and inclusion are key to our team’s success. If you don’t meet every qualification but have a growth mindset, believe you can contribute to the team’s success, and can deliver on the responsibilities of the role then please apply.    Salary and Other Compensation: The annual salary range for this position is displayed below. Factors which may affect starting pay within this range may include geography/market, skills, education, experience and other qualifications of the successful candidate.  The Company offers the following benefits for this position, subject to applicable eligibility requirements: medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts (HSA) with company contribution, 401(k) retirement plan with matching, employee stock purchase program, life insurance, AD&D, short-term disability insurance, long-term disability insurance, generous paid time off, company holidays, parental leave, identity theft protection, pet insurance, pre-paid legal insurance, back-up child and eldercare days, product discounts, referral bonus program, and more.   Pay Range$81,700 - $149,500 USD Our Culture 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.
