AI at SharkNinja
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.
This is a hands-on product quality engineering role supporting new product development (NPD). You will support the 5-star standard by executing quality reviews, testing coordination, and DFMEA analysis across assigned NPD programs, working under the direction of the Product Excellence team to help ensure products are safe, certified, and consumer-validated ahead of launch.
Product Excellence's mandate is simple: every product SharkNinja ships should earn and sustain 5 stars. This role supports that mandate by executing the day-to-day quality engineering work — testing coordination, DFMEA tracking, and build-review support — that underpins each launch.
This role requires strong technical execution and clear communication. You will represent the consumer voice in assigned program reviews, flag risks to your manager and cross-functional counterparts, and help drive follow-through on identified issues.
You will work within Engineering, Product Development, and the broader Product Excellence organization — supporting risk identification, contributing to predictive modeling using consumer validation data, and helping execute the structured testing, regulatory, and DFMEA processes that underpin each launch. Your job is to help find issues before the consumer does.
You report to leader within Product Excellence and work closely with assigned Engineering and Product Development team members on your categories.
Key Responsibilities
5-Star NPD Standard Support
- Support the 5-star standard on assigned NPD programs — flagging early risks to your manager and relevant stakeholders.
- Track known and emerging risks on assigned programs and escalate concerns through your manager.
