User Experience Design at SharkNinja

We're passionate about user experience, and we're looking for creative designers who think outside the box, embrace the latest technology, advocate for our customers, and push the boundary of what's possible. Join us on our journey to shape the future of SharkNinja product experiences.

The Role

We're seeking a talented and enthusiastic Principal UX Designer to join our growing team and deliver compelling, easy, and delightful user experiences for our hardware products.

As a senior member of the User Experience team, you'll lead design for new products - working collaboratively with colleagues across Industrial Design, Product Development, Engineering, Advanced Development, and other disciplines. You'll lead by example, mentoring junior designers and driving strategic impact within UX and the wider Design org.

This role calls for deep experience in consumer product design and development across hardware and software - the leading tools and techniques, and a proven record of shipping successful products with impact across the full product development lifecycle.

What You'll Do

• Lead the UX design and development of new hardware products and experiences.
• Drive product experiences that combine ease of use, high-quality design craft, and moments of delight - delivering the absolute best value for the consumer at the price point.
• Collaborate across the org, partnering closely with UX, Industrial Design, CMF, Product Development, Project Management, AD, and Consumer Insights.
• Own deliverables end to end, from concept exploration to detailed specs across hardware and software.

Experience & Education

• Bachelor's degree in UX Design, Industrial Design, or a related subject
• 10+ years of experience in consumer product design across hardware and software
• A rich portfolio of professional work demonstrating both design and business outcomes
• Experience mentoring junior designers

Technical Skills

• Deep experience with industry-standard design tools, including (but not limited to) Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
• Experience with 3D software tools is a strong plus

How You Work

• Clear, effective communicator who can guide and influence cross-functional teams, fellow designers, and senior stakeholders
• Flexible and effective across multiple simultaneous programs in a fast-paced environment
• Equally at home with a blank sheet of paper or a detailed state table
