Biomedical Engineer Jobs in Lincoln, RI (NOW HIRING)

Work Period: September 2026 to December 2026

Location & Schedule: This is a full-time, 40-hour-per-week position with 5 days per week onsite in Needham, MA.  There is no relocation or housing assistance for this position.

Join the SharkNinja Early Edge Experience: Built for early career talent. Geared toward impact. Driven by speed. Whether you're in a co-op or internship, our early talent program is designed to provide valuable exposure to the industry and a fast-paced professional environment. You'll dive into meaningful projects and tasks that sharpen your skills and deepen your knowledge. Along the way, you'll benefit from professional development opportunities, community events, and connections that make your experience well-rounded and enriching. Your time with us will culminate in an opportunity to showcase your contributions and learnings to SharkNinja leaders because this is a program for those ready to shape what's next - fast.

This role: As a Mechanical Engineering Co-op, Wearable and Biomedical Devices at SharkNinja, you will work alongside a world-class group of engineers working on wearable, biosensing, and medical device technologies within our Shark skincare space. This role offers hands-on experience across the full product lifecycle, including prototyping, testing, data analysis, and refinement of devices that integrate sensors, embedded hardware, and user-centered design. You will contribute to the development of systems that measure and interpret physiological signals such as ECG, PPG, EMG, temperature, motion, and impedance, applying core concepts in biomechanics, signal processing, and control systems. This role provides hands-on exposure across the full product lifecycle, from early concept development and prototyping through testing, refinement, and validation. You will support the design and evaluation of sensor-enabled systems, contribute to data-driven engineering decisions, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver solutions that balance performance, usability, and reliability. If you are motivated by applying engineering fundamentals to real-world health and wellness challenges and want to help shape the future of how people interact with technology on and around the body, this could be your next role.

Here are some of the EXCITING things you'll get to do:

• Support research, ideation, and exploration of wearable and biomedical product opportunities within the Shark skincare space (like Shark CryoGlow)
• Apply knowledge of biomechanics, signal processing, or control systems to real-world engineering challenges
• Support the collection, interpretation, and analysis of physiological and system-level data to inform design and performance decisions
• Work with sensor-enabled systems and data acquisition platforms to help evaluate functionality and user experience
• Use MATLAB and or Python to analyze data, visualize trends, and support the development of analytical tools and models
• Participate in design discussions and technical reviews, considering principles of safety, usability, and reliability throughout development
• Gain exposure to materials and components intended for skin-contact and body-worn applications, with an emphasis on user comfort and performance
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, designers, and product partners to align technical insights with user needs
• Develop an understanding of the user journey and the role of data-driven design in creating intuitive, trustworthy health-focused products

 ATTRIBUTES & SKILLS:

• Education: Current student in a related bachelor's, master's, or doctorate program, or has graduated from such a program within the past year
• Coursework or project experience in biomechanics, signal processing, or control systems
• Must be able to work a full-time, 40-hour-per-week schedule with 5 days per week onsite in Needham, MA
• Familiarity with physiological signals (e.g., ECG, PPG, EMG, temperature, motion, impedance) and basic signal processing concepts
• Working knowledge of MATLAB and/or Python for data analysis, visualization, and algorithm development
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering/physics fundamentals including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanical design
• Understanding of medical device design principles, including safety, usability, and reliability
• Solid analytical skills, attention to detail, and relentless drive to identify potential problems and take responsibility for their resolution
• Intellectual curiosity and creativity, strong first principles thinking, positive can-do attitude, and proven ability to deliver robust, elegant, and innovative solutions to complex design challenges
• Willingness to roll up sleeves and dive into hands-on development and testing workstreams
• Ability to communicate with both technical and non-technical colleagues  , effectively, and concisely
• Comfortable multitasking and responding quickly to shifting priorities without losing sight of longer-term projects
• Passionate about product design & function
• Can identify, solve, implement and verify technical solutions autonomously and as part of a team
• "Hands-on" experimental testing of some sort, either in the workshop or in a science context
• Experience with Developer kits such as Python, Arduino, Raspberry Pi is desirable
• Experience with biocompatible materials, electrodes, or skin-contact sensors is preferred
• Embodies SharkNinja's success drivers:
  • Rarely Satisfied - Adopt a "no delays" mentality in delivering against market needs/timing
  • Progress over Perfection - Make quick, daily progress and continuously adapts to achieve results rather than requiring perfect planning
  • Details Make the Difference - Can coordinate timelines & deliverables to ensure accuracy and consistency across all consumer-facing materials
  • Winning is a Team Sport - Ability to develop strong cross-functional relationships
  • Communicate for Impact - Strong communication skills - ability to deliver effective presentations to all levels of management

Please note that, due to the high volume of applications for early talent roles, response times may vary depending on the specific role and timeline. Our team appreciates your patience!
