The role

Shark

Ninja is working to reduce its environmental impact, and we're looking for a creative problem solver to advance the development of low-carbon products. You have an intuitive grasp of physics and engineering fundamentals, are equally comfortable hacking together a prototype in the lab or analyzing test results, and are passionate about solving the engineering challenges behind sustainable product innovation.
