Senior Product Integrity Engineer - Outdoor Heated

We are looking for a detail-oriented, passionate, and dynamic individual to join our team as a Senior Product Integrity Engineer to join the Ninja Outdoor 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 to lead 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

Lead 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

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

4+ 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 and self-directed — comfortable working both independently and as part of a cross-functional team

Preferred

Experience at a consumer goods company with high-volume, rapid NPD cycles

Familiarity with supplier quality processes including PPAP and incoming quality controls

Exposure to human factors engineering or usability validation methods

Ability to travel as required to manufacturing sites or supplier facilities
