What the job involves
- We are looking for a Product Design Engineer to join the Advanced Development team
- The Advanced Development team works to define early-stage product concepts and develop them into ideas ready for detailed 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
- You'll 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
Our take
Consumer demand for new and better home appliances continues to grow. SharkNinja serves this demand by designing and manufacturing innovative home goods and devices. Specifically, it has a growing line of solutions that consist of Shark cleaning and home care products and Ninja kitchen appliances.
SharkNinja has been in operation since 1994, which is testament to the quality and popularity of its products. Since its initial launch in Canada, the company has expanded into the US and the UK. In 2017 SharkNinja was bought by CDH Private Equity for over $1.5 Billion, further proof of its impressive market value. Perhaps more evidence is that it brings in annual revenues of around $4B.
SharkNinja’s main challenge is facing down big-name competitors such as home appliance giant Dyson. In fact, through innovative design, it seized the market-leading spot in traditional vacuums from Dyson and is only second to iRobot in sales of robotic models. A 2023 IPO saw an extra $296 million in funding added to SharkNinja's pot and was followed by product launches in new sectors such as air conditioning and food cooling, indicating that the company is still full of new product ideas.
