Are you ready to bring ideas to life? If so, we invite you to learn more about the HW UX/UI Design Co-op role at SharkNinja. We're seeking a talented and enthusiastic designer to work with our HW UX team and deliver compelling, easy, and delightful user experiences for our hardware products.

This role sits at the intersection of physical product and user experience. You'll design on-device UI and interaction flows with a relentless focus on the customer.

You'll work with industrial design, product, and engineering across the full design process, from product concepts through prototyping, testing, documentation, tooling, engineering builds, and launch.

Whether it’s brand-new products or the evolution of existing products for new markets, you can expect to see your hard work out in the real world! Here are some of the EXCITING things you’ll get to do: • Help define the end-to-end user experience, interaction model, and on-product interfaces for a variety of new HW products, including the physical UI, displays, affordances, and feedback (haptic, audio, visual).

• Partner with industrial design on UI placement, control feel, labeling, and ergonomics — consistently advocating for the user when manufacturing and cost pressure push the other way.

• Work through hardware and technology constraints with colleagues in product and engineering to deliver experiences that are feasible, desirable, and viable.

• Build and run usability testing on physical prototypes and turn findings into impactful and achievable design changes. • Document UI layouts, interaction specs, state diagrams, and UI asset packages that firmware and engineering teams can build from without ambiguity.

• Thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and an eagerness to receive and incorporate feedback. • Show curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn new tools, technologies, and processes.
