AI at SharkNinja At SharkNinja, we’re building an AI-native culture. We’re not waiting for the future; we’re creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what’s possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn’t been invented yet, you’ll fit right in. At SharkNinja, we push the boundaries to develop world class consumer products that transform everyday life. The Director of Engineering - Motors, is a senior technical and people leader responsible for shaping the strategy, design, and development of advanced motor systems across SharkNinja’s growing product portfolio. This is a player/coach role — you will lead and grow a team of motor engineers while staying hands-on with the most complex technical challenges. You bring deep expertise in electromagnetic design, electromechanical systems, and power conversion, and you excel at partnering with global motor suppliers to develop purpose-built solutions for our products. The ability to bridge rigorous technical depth with cross-functional and supplier collaboration is essential. Airflow and fluid-dynamics experience is a strong plus, particularly in applications involving fans, blowers, or high-performance suction systems. What You’ll Do Lead and develop a team of motor engineers — setting clear goals, fostering technical growth, and building a high-performing, collaborative engineering culture. Drive motor technology strategy, defining the roadmap for motor architectures across SharkNinja’s product portfolio including BLDC, universal, and switched reluctance motors. Provide technical oversight and guidance across end-to-end motor development from concept through prototype, validation, and production — working closely with motor manufacturers to ensure designs meet SharkNinja’s performance and quality requirements. Partner deeply with global motor suppliers to co-develop optimized motor solutions, driving detailed design collaboration, component optimization, and production readiness. Define and hold motor performance targets in partnership with cross-functional engineering teams — torque, speed, noise, vibration, efficiency, and thermal characteristics — aligned with product requirements. Conduct and guide advanced electromagnetic and electromechanical analysis in partnership with cross-functional engineering teams, including FEA and simulation for magnetic circuits and rotor/stator design. Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, controls, and firmware teams to ensure optimal motor integration, commutation algorithms, and drive efficiency. Guide motor material selection, including laminations, magnets, winding specifications, and insulation systems. Ensure design for manufacturability (DFM) and scalability in partnership with suppliers and manufacturing partners. Collaborate with airflow and mechanical design teams on system-level performance where fluid dynamics interact with motor behavior. Contribute to SharkNinja’s technology roadmap in motor and actuation systems, representing the motors function in senior leadership forums. What You’ll Bring 15+ years of experience in motor design and development, ideally in consumer products, appliances, or electromechanical systems — with demonstrated experience in a technical leadership or management role. Proven people leadership skills — experience building, mentoring, and developing engineering teams. Expert-level understanding of electromagnetic theory, motor physics, and magnetic material properties. Hands-on experience with FEA tools (e.g., Maxwell, JMAG, Motor-CAD) for electromagnetic and thermal modeling. Strong background in electrical machine design, including stator winding, rotor dynamics, and torque ripple optimization. Deep knowledge of motor control principles, including sensorless and vector control, PWM techniques, and inverter systems. Extensive supplier partnership experience — driving detailed design collaboration, refinement, and production readiness with global motor suppliers. Experience working with Asian motor suppliers, particularly in managing design collaboration, communication, and development cycles across time zones and cultural contexts. Familiarity with manufacturing processes for motors (stamping, winding, potting, balancing). Airflow and fluid-dynamics experience is highly advantageous. Proven cross-functional collaborator across mechanical, electrical, and firmware disciplines. Strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills with the ability to influence at senior levels. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering required; Master’s or Ph.D. preferred with emphasis in electromagnetics or motor systems.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
