Desirable

• We are looking for a strategic, hands-on leader to join our team as Sr. Product Integrity Engineer for the Home Environment team, owning design and engineering validation across the portfolio
• In this role, you will lead the function embedded within the New Product Development process — ensuring quality is designed in, not inspected out, and building the systems and team that make that possible at scale
• You will own the validation strategy and partner at a leadership level with Engineering, ID, Product Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain — directing DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and process controls to ensure products meet or exceed SharkNinja's 5-star quality standard before a single unit reaches a consumer
• This role offers direct influence over product outcomes at the most critical stage of development, along with ownership of team development and cross-functional process governance
• Own and lead design reviews, DFMEA, DVP&R, and safety review processes throughout the NPD lifecycle, proactively identifying and mitigating quality risks before tooling and production release
• Define and govern design verification and validation (DVP&R) strategy in alignment with product requirements and regulatory standards, setting standards used across programs
• Direct critical analysis of engineering changes (ECNs), ensuring rigorous assessment of quality impact and preventing regression or degradation of product performance
• Approve manufacturing and test documentation, holding the team and cross-functional partners accountable to customer quality requirements ahead of production launch
• Lead design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews, ensuring early-stage designs account for process capability and production quality controls
• Serve as the senior quality voice in cross-functional NPD teams, representing quality requirements and consumer expectations in design and engineering decision-making at the leadership level
• Lead input tracker meetings and pre-production risk reviews, driving prioritization and accountability for corrective actions across teams
• Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing leadership to establish and govern process controls and quality gates ahead of mass production
• Own supplier quality escalations, including 8D responses and resolution meetings, ensuring corrective actions and validation evidence meet standard ahead of production milestones
• Own CAPA governance tied to design or process gaps identified during pre-production builds and pilot runs, ensuring timely closure and systemic fixes
• Manage, mentor, and develop a team of engineers, building capability in DFMEA, DVP&R, and validation methodologies
• Analyze pre-production build data, test failures, and early field learnings to identify design or process risks before market launch, and direct the team's response
• Define quality metrics and acceptance criteria for validation activities across programs, tracking performance against targets and reporting on trends
• Drive continuous improvement of pre-production quality processes at a systemic level, identifying organizational gaps and implementing durable, scalable solutions
• Present validation status, quality risk summaries, and corrective action progress to senior management and executive leadership regularly, and represent the function in strategic planning
