Role Overview: Manager, Advanced Mechanical Systems Engineering
SharkNinja is seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Manager to spearhead our Advanced Mechanical Systems Engineering team. This talented group is responsible for architecting the foundational mechanical and electromechanical systems that drive our pioneering product concepts. Your leadership will be critical in executing trade-off studies to optimally balance performance, reliability, cost, and user experience.
This role is a unique blend of leadership and technical expertise. As the lead systems engineer on various programs, you will not only guide the technical direction but also cultivate and mentor a team of engineers dedicated to these initiatives. You will define the technical aspects of our products from concept through early development, with a strong emphasis on integrating innovative technologies to deliver outstanding performance that resonates with consumers.
Engineering Leadership & Technical Impact
We are looking for a creative problem solver with a profound understanding of physics and engineering principles, someone who is equally adept at building prototypes in the lab as they are at developing theoretical models on a whiteboard. This role demands the ability to distill complex design challenges into fundamental requirements, clearly define project scope and approach, and effectively communicate progress and potential risks. A fail-fast mindset is essential, allowing for rapid iteration and focused efforts. Candidates should possess the skills to develop and execute test plans, analyze data, and create technical theories that could shape the future of SharkNinja products.
