Senior Product Design Engineer – Floorcare
Needham, MA
The Opportunity
Our mission — to positively impact people's lives every day in every home around the world — lets our employees be thinkers and tinkerers, designers and doers, creators and number crunchers, makers of things they love. As we continue to grow, we're excited to add a Senior Product Design Engineer to our global team.
You'll help build a new generation of innovative products across our Shark Floorcare brand, working from our Needham, MA headquarters. This is front-end product creation: you'll bring technical substance and inspiration to our creative efforts, focusing on technology and feasibility as we build the product roadmap, so what reaches the market is credible as well as exciting.
What You'll Get to Do
- Own the Floorcare roadmap's front-end technology and feasibility phase for our next generation of vacuums and floorcare products — complete system innovations that sit between the physical (mechanical) and system (sensors, software, batteries, connectivity, motors, airflow) elements of a cleaning system.
- Work the front-end product and engineering development phase, using ideation and innovation techniques to unlock and drive the roadmap alongside engineering and cross-functional PD, ID, Brand, and Test Kitchen teams in the US, UK, and China.
- Fail fast — drive ideas to a conclusion early via functional rigs, before handing part or complete product solution packages to the back-end implementation AD team.
- Tinker hands-on across short- and long-term projects, in the form of proof-of-concept rigs.
- Communicate ideas quickly and effectively through a mix of sketching, CAD layouts, 3D models, and working prototypes to evaluate potential solutions.
- Carry out design and engineering studies, independently and in teams, to solve technical or consumer issues — keeping user experience front and center at every stage, including cleaning performance, maneuverability, and ease of use.
- Collaborate with our global AD and CI teams so front-end sensibilities — the consumer-focused experience — drive our direction and survive all the way through development to a 5-star product.
- Coach and support your teammates, especially junior colleagues, and encourage their efforts.
- Balance and prioritize multiple workflows across projects alongside additional responsibilities, on fast-paced schedules and deadlines.
What You'll Bring
Experience & Technical Skills
- 5–8+ years of proven experience in Mechanical Engineering.
- Electromechanical products in a product development environment — ideally including motorized floor-cleaning systems (vacuums, mops, or similar high-duty-cycle mechanical assemblies).
- Designing for plastic parts, including silicone, rubber, and injection molded parts.
- Working with IP teams to track prior art and identify novel or inventive solutions within the AD/R&D team.
- Proficiency with SolidWorks or Creo.
- The ability to identify, solve, implement, and verify technical solutions autonomously as part of a team.
- Comfort operating (with training) in the lab — building prototypes, running product testing, and developing and reporting findings with next steps.
- An appreciation for electrical engineering, software, and mechanical principles. An all-rounder of sorts.
- Bachelor's degree, ideally in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or Industrial Design with a focus on engineering principles.
How You Work
- Flexibility, resilience, and perseverance, with a positive attitude and an entrepreneurial nature — and a preference for collaboration. These are key to success at SharkNinja.
- Not afraid to fail fast, learn, and pivot.
- A proven problem-solver who can demonstrably generate and deliver solutions within project timelines.
- Judgment about which problems to solve and how to make daily progress, plus a real belief in iterating to prove out hypotheses.
- Continuous evaluation of design intent to achieve outstanding results for the business and the consumer.
- A growth mindset — you proactively build your own knowledge and actively seek coaching from others.
- Keen to join internal working groups outside your core role to improve processes, the working environment, and internal mindset.

Product Design Manager Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a product design manager in Massachusetts?
Product design manager roles in Massachusetts do not require a state-issued license or registration. The typical path begins with a degree in industrial design, human-computer interaction, graphic design, or a related discipline, followed by several years as an individual contributor product designer. Massachusetts employers, particularly in Greater Boston's technology and medtech clusters, consistently prioritize candidates who can show a portfolio of shipped work alongside experience mentoring designers or coordinating with engineering and product management teams.
Which companies hire product design managers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring product design managers in Massachusetts right now include SharkNinja, Chewy, and Formlabs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of mature software companies, medical device firms, and consumer technology brands means demand for design leadership is spread across multiple industries rather than limited to a single sector.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most product design manager jobs?
Boston, Needham, and Wakefield have the most product design manager openings in Massachusetts. Boston and Cambridge dominate because of their dense concentration of technology companies, biotech firms, and digital product studios, while suburban corridors like the Route 128 belt and Waltham contribute additional openings from established enterprise software and medtech employers with long-standing Massachusetts headquarters.
Are there remote product design manager jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than many management roles, because product design work is largely screen-based and collaborative tools support distributed teams effectively. About 63% of product design manager openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how broadly the technology and software sectors have adopted flexible arrangements. Strategy, critique sessions, and stakeholder reviews are the functions most commonly handled remotely, while in-person time tends to center on workshops and team onboarding.
How can I get hired as a product design manager in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a lead or principal individual contributor role at a Massachusetts technology or medtech company before stepping into formal management. Firms like those anchored along the Route 128 corridor and in the Seaport and Kendall Square areas regularly hire senior designers who take on mentorship and project coordination, which builds a credible management narrative. A portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex products and evidence of cross-functional collaboration carries more weight with Massachusetts hiring teams than a management title held elsewhere.
Where can I find and apply to product design manager jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to product design manager jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly to the ones that match.
