Lead Associate Principal Vision Systems Engineer

About us

As part of the Electronics Hardware & Power System team you will lead the development of advanced vision systems for Dyson products. This role requires deep technical expertise across the entire vision stack from optics and camera modules to image sensors and image processing algorithms.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical electronics and software engineering as well as the platform team to architect and build a scalable long-term vision system platform that supports multiple product categories. This includes defining and developing common hardware and software frameworks that bridge New Product Introduction (NPI) and New Product Development (NPD) enabling efficient reuse and accelerated innovation.

About the role

• Lead the design and simulation of optical systems for vision applications including lenses for camera systems TOF sensors and illumination optics.
• Define and review technical requirements for vision system components lenses sensors cameras and image processing pipelines throughout the development lifecycle.
• Develop and validate test methodologies for optical performance including tolerance analysis aberration stray light and sensitivity.
• Work with vendors to ensure optical and vision system components meet performance manufacturability and quality standards.
• Analyze experimental data and correlate with simulation models to optimize system performance.
• Collaborate with the platform team to build a unified vision system architecture and framework that supports cross-category product development.
• Drive the integration of vision systems into product platforms ensuring seamless interaction between hardware and software components.
• Support the transition from NPI to NPD by developing scalable and reusable vision system modules.
• Act as a technical leader and mentor within the team promoting best practices in vision system design and development.

About you

• B.S. or M.S. in Optical Engineering Opto-Electronics Computer Vision or related fields.
• 5 years of experience in vision system development including optical/lens design camera integration image sensor selection and image processing.
• Strong proficiency in optical simulation tools (e.g. Zemax LightTools CODE V) and image processing frameworks (e.g. OpenCV MATLAB).
• Experience in designing and characterizing camera systems including sensor tuning lens calibration and image quality evaluation.
• Familiarity with hardware/software co-design principles and embedded vision systems.
• Proven ability to develop scalable frameworks and platforms for vision systems across multiple product lines.
• Experience in DFM DFX DFMEA and optical bench testing.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to correlate simulation with experimental data.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to work effectively across disciplines and with external partners.
• Self-driven high integrity and results-oriented with a passion for innovation.
