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.
We are looking for a detail-oriented, passionate, and dynamic individual to join our team as a Product Integrity Engineer to join the Shark Corded team, with a specific focus on design and engineering validation. In this role, you will be embedded in the New Product Development process - working upstream to ensure that quality is designed in, not inspected out.
You will partner closely with Engineering, ID, Product Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain on validation activities - including DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and process controls - ensuring products meet or exceed SharkNinja's 5-star quality standard before a single unit reaches a consumer. This role offers unparalleled cross-functional exposure and the opportunity to directly influence product outcomes at the most critical stage of development.
Responsibilities
Design Validation & Engineering Quality
- Assist and participate in design reviews, DFMEA, DVP&R, and safety reviews throughout the NPD process to proactively identify and mitigate quality risks before tooling and production release
- Help define, develop, and execute design verification and validation plans (DVP&R) in alignment with product requirements and regulatory standards
- Conduct critical analysis of engineering changes (ECNs) to assess potential quality impact and prevent regression or degradation of product performance
- Review and approve manufacturing and test documentation to ensure customer quality requirements are met or exceeded prior to production launch
- Participate in design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews, ensuring early-stage designs account for process capability and production quality controls
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Process Governance
- Serve as the quality voice in cross-functional NPD teams - representing quality requirements and consumer expectations in all design and engineering decisions
- Lead input tracker meetings with cross-functional teams; surface top pre-production quality risks and delegate corrective actions
- Partner with Supply Chain and Manufacturing to establish process controls and quality gates ahead of mass production
- Support suppliers in 8D responses and quality resolution meetings, reviewing corrective actions and validation evidence ahead of production milestones
- Coordinate CAPA activities tied to design or process gaps identified during pre-production builds and pilot runs
Data Analysis & Continuous Improvement
- Analyze pre-production build data, test failures, and early field learnings to identify design or process risks before market launch
- Define and implement quality metrics and acceptance criteria for validation activities, tracking performance against targets throughout the development cycle
- Drive continuous improvement of pre-production quality processes - identifying systemic gaps and implementing sustainable solutions
- Present validation status, quality risk summaries, and corrective action progress to senior management and cross-functional leadership regularly
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in Mechanical Engineering, Quality Engineering, Product Development, Human Factors Engineering, or a related field
- 1-2 years of engineering experience with direct involvement in design verification and validation activities, preferably in consumer goods
- Hands-on experience with DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and engineering change management
- Demonstrated understanding of product development lifecycles, document and design change control, and verification and validation methodologies
- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and root-cause analysis skills
- Strong communication skills - able to present clearly to all levels of the organization, from engineering teams to senior executives
- Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; SharePoint knowledge a plus
- Able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- Collaborative team player. Comfortable working both independently and as part of a cross-functional team
Preferred
- Experience at a consumer goods company (including internships) with high-volume, rapid NPD cycles
- Familiarity with supplier quality processes including PPAP and incoming quality controls
