As a Product Design Engineer II, you’ll be part of our Ninja Advanced Development team, focused on shaping the future of our product portfolio through early-stage innovation and technology creation. Working from our London Design Office, you’ll collaborate with teams across the UK, US, and China to explore, define, and develop breakthrough concepts that will power the next generation of Ninja products.

You’ll combine creativity with engineering rigor, developing new technologies, architectures, and product experiences that push boundaries and unlock future opportunities.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Exploring and developing early-stage product concepts, technologies, and system architectures for future Ninja innovations.
• Translating consumer insights and emerging trends into tangible engineering solutions and demonstrators.
• Designing and building proof-of-concept prototypes to validate new ideas, mechanisms, and technologies.
• Conducting feasibility studies, risk assessments, and trade-off analyses to guide concept direction.
• Applying strong engineering fundamentals to evaluate performance, scalability, and potential for future commercialization.
• Iterating rapidly through hands-on prototyping, testing, and learning cycles.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define product vision, technical roadmaps, and innovation pipelines.
• Communicating concepts and technical ideas clearly through CAD, prototypes, and presentations.
• Supporting the transition of promising concepts into New Product Development teams.
• Contributing to a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and continuous learning.

What You’ll Bring

• Degree in Product Design Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Industrial Design Engineering.
• Experience in mechanical or product design, ideally with exposure to early-stage or concept development work.
• Experience in consumer goods or household appliances is highly desirable.
• Strong understanding of plastics and manufacturing processes, with the ability to balance innovation and feasibility.
• Proven ability to solve ambiguous problems and explore multiple solution pathways.
• High proficiency in SolidWorks or Creo.
• Hands-on prototyping skills and a test-and-learn mindset.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate early-stage ideas and influence stakeholders.
• Curious, proactive, and comfortable working in less-defined spaces.
• An appreciation for electronics, software, or UX is beneficial, especially in concept development.
