Senior Product Integrity Engineer

Please note this will be an ONSITE position in our Needham, HQ location (M-F)

We are looking for a detail-oriented, passionate, and dynamic individual to join our team as a Senior Product Integrity Engineer to join the Ninja Coffee 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, ID, Product Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain on validation activities - including DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and process controls - ensuring products meet or exceed SharkNinja'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.

- Assist in leading 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

- Help 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

- 3+ years of engineering experience with direct involvement in design verification and validation activities, preferably in consumer goods

- Hands-on experience with DFMEA, DVP&R, design reviews, and engineering change management

- Demonstrated understanding of product development lifecycles, document and design change control, and verification and validation methodologies

- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and root-cause analysis skills

- Strong communication skills - able to present clearly to all levels of the organization, from engineering teams to senior executives

- Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; SharePoint knowledge a plus

- Able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

- Collaborative team player. Comfortable working both independently and as part of a cross-functional team

- Experience at a consumer goods company (including internships) with high-volume, rapid NPD cycles

- Familiarity with supplier quality processes including PPAP and incoming quality controls

- Exposure to human factors engineering or usability validation methods

- Ability to travel as required to manufacturing sites or supplier facilities
