About the role

This is a front-end role where you'll shape what comes next for Ninja's Corded/Cordless Products. You'll work at the edge of technical feasibility, turning ambiguous consumer problems into working prototypes and product roadmap decisions. You'll be embedded in the early-stage innovation phase, moving fast to validate ideas and hand off consumer-tested solutions to the development team.

Responsibilities

• Drive the front-end technology and feasibility roadmap for Corded/Cordless Products, collaborating with engineering, industrial design, brand, and test kitchen teams across the US, UK, and China
• Build proof-of-concept rigs and functional prototypes to stress-test ideas early — before full development investment
• Work across the full system: mechanical design, sensors, software, batteries, connectivity — seeing the whole picture
• Communicate ideas rapidly through sketching, CAD layouts, 3D models, and physical prototypes
• Run design and engineering studies — solo and in teams — with consumer experience as the north star
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a team culture that treats failure as signal, not setback
• Stay close to IP development, identifying novel and inventive solutions alongside R&D

• Strong communicator — able to sketch an idea on a whiteboard and defend it in an engineering review

• Background in consumer goods or household appliances (nice to have)
• Experience designing sheet metal components (nice to have)
• Familiarity working with IP teams to identify novel or inventive solutions (nice to have)
