At SharkNinja, we're building an AI-native culture. We're not waiting for the future; we're creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what's possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn't been invented yet, you'll fit right in.

Manager, Engineering - R&D

Needham, MA (Onsite)

We build products people genuinely love. As R&D Manager on the Ninja team in Needham, MA, you'll lead a small group of engineers through the full arc of product development - from first principles to production-ready hardware - while helping each person on your team grow into their best work.

What you'll do

  • Lead, hire, and develop a team of engineers across design studies, CAD execution, prototyping, and design verification
  • Own designs end-to-end: drive fast iteration, apply sound engineering judgment, and hold the bar on quality, cost, and manufacturability
  • Optimize designs continuously for DFM, materials, cost efficiency, and consumer value
  • Collaborate with Product Development teams in the UK and China and cross-functional partners to get great ideas across the finish line

What you bring

  • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
  • 4+ years in product development, ideally in a fast-paced, high-output environment
  • Proven track record delivering robust solutions to complex engineering problems and mentoring the engineers around you
  • Strong fundamentals in mechanical engineering and physics, including fluid mechanics
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical and electrical fabrication (power tools, sheet metal, wiring)
  • Familiarity with small appliance components: sensors, motors, heaters, PCBAs, test equipment
  • Excellent CAD skills; advanced Excel for test data analysis
  • First-principles problem-solving instincts and a fail-fast, progress-over-perfection mindset
  • Clear, direct communicator - equally comfortable presenting to engineers and to non-technical stakeholders

This is a fully in-person role at our Needham, MA office

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.
