Senior Mechanical Systems Engineer

About The Role: 

SharkNinja is looking for an enthusiastic, driven Mechanical Systems Engineer to join the Systems Engineering group within Shark & Ninja Engineering. This team member will be responsible for identifying the key system-level requirements of a project, undertaking prototyping and testing to gather additional learning where requirements are unclear, communicating and aligning on requirements with different functional teams within the business, and iterating through changes as the project evolves through the development cycle. 

We work with a hybrid model, 3 days a week in our iconic Battersea Power Station London office.

Here are some of the exciting things you’ll get to do: 

• Drive product definition by communicating system functions & requirements across multiple disciplines 
• Build proof-of-concept prototypes with microcontrollers & 3D-printed designs to shape the initial direction of a product 
• Provide system-level guidance to engineering, electrical, and marketing teams to help the whole team understand tradeoffs within complex thermal & electromechanical products 
• Develop unique product design solutions to incorporate in Shark & Ninja products to be sold globally 
• Work within the multi-disciplinary Product Development team to define, design, build, and test new products across the lifecycle from initial conception to mass production 
• Apply an analytical approach to the solution of a wide variety of problems 
• Work hands-on in the lab to evaluate/test/analyze/fix design prototypes and production systems 
• Review and interpret test results providing feedback on product improvement solutions 

Here are some of the things you'll bring: 

• BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering. 
• 5+ years of experience as an engineer working in electro-mechanical systems 
• Experience working with programming microcontrollers, both to read information from a wide array of sensors and to control actuators such as motors & LEDs 
• Experience with 3D CAD Modeling: CREO or SolidWorks preferred 
• Familiarity with 3D printing 
• Familiarity with production processes such as injection molding 
• Strong knowledge of mechanical engineering fundamentals and manufacturing techniques, including DFM 
• Experience in designing and testing consumer products, electromechanical devices and small appliances is highly preferred 
• Solid analytical skills, strong attention to detail, and relentless drive to identify potential problems and take responsibility for their resolution 
• Hands-on experience with machine shop equipment, fabrication skill, hand tools 
• Knowledge of electronics (analog/digital) and test equipment knowledge helpful 
• Flexible, enjoys switching gears, and working in an extremely fast-paced environment 
• Passion for creating 5-star products!
