Ninja Flip Oven
Key contributor to the development and launch of two products, supporting both core product design and the expansion of a new accessories business.
Identified and validated new product opportunities outside the original scope, including the creation of the first air-fry bacon cooker and an air-frying roasting sling. These concepts were rapidly tested through a targeted Facebook campaign, then designed, engineered, and brought to market.
Led user-driven design improvements to core accessories, including an air fry basket with rounded corners to improve grip and optimize airflow by minimizing food placement in low-circulation zones.
Provided hands-on technical support across development, working closely with Industrial Design, R&D, and Mechanical Engineering teams. Contributions included design of experiments (DOE), thermal mapping, data collection, test rig development, and iterative engineering builds to refine performance under real food load conditions.
Collaborated cross-functionally with global teams in China and the UK to ensure successful execution from development through production. (Industrial design for the oven led by Nicholas Varjabedian, Ninja.)
Resulted in issued design patents: D914,452 and D915,142.
