If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in.
Our mission is to positively impact people's lives every day, in every home around the world. That means our employees get to be thinkers and tinkerers, designers and doers, creators and number crunchers — makers of things they love. As we grow, we're excited to add a Manager, Mechanical Design - NPD to our global team.
You'll lead part of our growing NPD team, building the next generation of innovative Ninja products. This is a front-end role: you'll own the technology and feasibility phase of product creation, bringing technical substance and inspiration to our creative efforts and shaping our Motorized product roadmap with credible, buildable solutions.
Think complete system innovations that sit between the physical (mechanical) and the system (sensors, software, batteries, connectivity).
Own the front end of the Motorized roadmap. Use ideation and innovation techniques to unlock and drive the roadmap alongside engineering and cross-functional PD, ID, Brand, and Test Kitchen teams across the US, UK, and China.
Fail fast, learn faster. Drive ideas to a conclusion early via functional rigs before handing part or complete solution packages to the back-end implementation AD team.
Get hands-on. Tinker on both short- and long-term projects, building POC (Proof of Concept) rigs to prove out hypotheses. Manage the hands-on work of prototype building and lab testing, then develop and report findings with clear next steps.
Communicate ideas fast. Sketching, CAD layouts, 3D models, and working prototypes to evaluate potential solutions.
Run design and engineering studies — independently and in teams — to solve technical and consumer problems, with user experience front of mind at every stage.
Keep the consumer at the center. Collaborate seamlessly with our global AD and CI teams so front-end, consumer-focused sensibilities drive our direction and carry all the way through development to 5-star products.
Coach and grow the team. Actively support and encourage your colleagues — especially junior team members — and motivate them to identify, solve, implement, and verify technical solutions autonomously.
Juggle well. Balance, prioritize, and drive multiple workflows and additional responsibilities against fast-paced schedules and deadlines.
