Fall 2026: Product Design Engineering Co-op, Shark (July to December)

As a Product Design Engineering Co-op, you will develop and refine new product concepts while collaborating with cross-functional partners. You will be involved in hands-on mechanical design, testing, and iterating prototypes to create consumer-ready solutions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine new product concepts using a user-centered approach, balancing ergonomics, performance, manufacturability, and mechanical feasibility
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to translate established concepts into functional, consumer-ready solutions
• Lead and contribute to design studies and technical investigations to resolve mechanical, usability, and performance challenges
• Build, test, and iterate quick-turn, low-fidelity prototypes, using hands-on experimentation and user testing to inform design decisions

Requirements

• Must be currently enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s program, or have graduated within the past year
• Must be able to work a full-time, 40-hour-per-week schedule with 5 days onsite in Needham, MA
