About the Role

At SharkNinja we are building an AI-native culture. We dont just use AI as an afterthoughtwe are actively re-engineering how consumer products are invented prototyped and brought to market. We are seeking a visionary AI Designer to sit at the intersection of front-end product innovation generative design and operational automation.

Based out of our global headquarters in Needham MA you will work hand-in-hand with Advanced Development engineering teams Industrial Designers and executive leaders. Your mission is twofold: leverage generative AI tools to radically accelerate our physical and digital product prototyping and design custom AI prompts assistants and intelligent workflows that remove mechanical friction across our global business units.

What Youll Do

• Accelerate Front-End Innovation: Partner with industrial design and product engineering teams to use Generative AI systems (Midjourney Stable Diffusion Vizcom etc.) for rapid 2D/3D concept generation and product visualization.

• Engineer Intelligent Workflows: Design test and deploy customized AI prompts agents and custom GPT environments to automate and optimize repetitive creative and operational processes.

• Democratize AI Literacy: Act as an internal evangelist. Create frameworks playbooks and training sessions to help cross-functional teams (from R&D to Product Marketing) integrate advanced AI assistants seamlessly into their daily tasks.

• Bridge Physical and Digital Design: Collaborate with UI/UX and mobile app teams to explore how consumer-facing AI experiences can enhance our physical hardware ecosystems (smart home connected kitchen etc.).

• Evaluate Emerging Tech: Continuously source stress-test and onboard emerging foundational models plugins and software to ensure SharkNinja remains at the absolute bleeding edge of design automation.

Qualifications

• 3 Years in Design / Product Development: Background in Industrial Design Interaction Design Product Design Engineering or a highly technical creative field.

• Mastery of Generative Design Tools: Advanced demonstrable expertise in prompt engineering and image/asset generation platforms (Midjourney DALL-E Stable Diffusion ComfyUI Adobe Firefly or similar).

• Fluency with Enterprise AI Assistants: Deep practical experience leveraging large language models (e.g. ChatGPT Claude Gemini) to accelerate research data synthesis and workflow modeling.

• A Systems Thinker: Ability to analyze a manual fragmented business or creative process and design a scalable AI-driven automation framework to solve it.

• The Tinkerer Mindset: A relentless curiosity and passion for rapid iteration. You thrive on hands-on experimentation mapping out workflows and building functional prototypes.

What Does Success Look Like

• In 30 Days: You have deeply embedded yourself with the Advanced Development teams in Needham conducted an audit of our current creative pipelines and mastered our baseline AI workflow guidelines.

• In 90 Days: You have successfully built and deployed at least two custom AI-assisted design workflows or prompt frameworks that measurably reduce the time it takes our teams to go from raw product concept to initial visual layout.

• In 1 Year: You have helped transform how SharkNinja ideates. Your generative frameworks and automated pipelines have noticeably compressed our front-end product development cycle establishing our Needham headquarters as a benchmark for AI-driven consumer goods innovation.
