AI DESIGNER

About the role

At SharkNinja, we are building an AI-native culture. We don’t just use AI as an afterthought—we are actively re-engineering how consumer products are invented, prototyped, and brought to market. We are seeking a visionary AI Designer to sit at the intersection of front-end product innovation, generative design, and operational automation.

Qualifications

• 3+ Years in Design / Product Development: Background in Industrial Design, Interaction Design, Product Design Engineering, or a highly technical creative field.
• Mastery of Generative Design Tools: Advanced, demonstrable expertise in prompt engineering and image/asset generation platforms (Midjourney, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Adobe Firefly, or similar).
• Fluency with Enterprise AI Assistants: Deep practical experience leveraging large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to accelerate research, data synthesis, and workflow modeling.
• A Systems Thinker: Ability to analyze a manual, fragmented business or creative process and design a scalable, AI-driven automation framework to solve it.
• The "Tinkerer" Mindset: A relentless curiosity and passion for rapid iteration. You thrive on hands-on experimentation, mapping out workflows, and building functional prototypes.

What You’ll Do

• Accelerate Front-End Innovation: Partner with industrial design and product engineering teams to use Generative AI systems (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Vizcom, etc.) for rapid 2D/3D concept generation and product visualization.
• Engine Intelligent Workflows: Design, test, and deploy customized AI prompts, agents, and custom GPT environments to automate and optimize repetitive creative and operational processes.
• Democratize AI Literacy: Act as an internal evangelist. Create frameworks, playbooks, and training sessions to help cross-functional teams (from R&D to Product Marketing) integrate advanced AI assistants seamlessly into their daily tasks.
• Bridge Physical and Digital Design: Collaborate with UI/UX and mobile app teams to explore how consumer-facing AI experiences can enhance our physical hardware ecosystems (smart home, connected kitchen, etc.).
• Evaluate Emerging Tech: Continuously source, stress-test, and onboard emerging foundational models, plugins, and software to ensure SharkNinja remains at the absolute bleeding edge of design automation.
