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 Quality team as a Senior Quality Engineer to join the Shark Haircare 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, , Product Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to lead validation activities — including DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and process controls — ensuring products meet or exceed Shark Ninja'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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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…
