Technician, NPI Robotics

About us

At Dyson we are encouraged to think differently challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes. Were creative collaborative practical and enthusiastic.

About the role

As an NPI Robotics Technician youll help turn inventive concepts into robust early prototypes and functional demo rigs that drive the future of robotics at Dyson. Youll work embedded within an design engineering squad supporting rapid design and iteration and ensuring our lab environment remains a catalyst for innovation.

Prototyping & Build

• Work hands-on to construct modify and assemble mechanical and electromechanical prototype rigs and sub-assemblies.

• Support engineers by taking early concepts off the page and into practical working demonstrators.

• Safely machine 3D print wire and finish prototype parts drawing on your skills in mechanical electrical and software assembly.

• Suggest practical prototype improvements based on build experience and testing feedback.

Lab & Workshop Management

• Maintain calibrate and set up shared robotics lab equipment

• Maintain high workshop standards supporting safety 5S audits and continuous improvement.

• Troubleshoot common lab issues and coach team members on safe/effective usage.

• Coordinate with suppliers and service providers for parts stocked materials and equipment servicing

Support & Collaboration

• Assist in design iteration using CAD tools (e.g. NX)edit models print simple parts support drawings and documentation.

• Run simple test rigs and collect engineering data; share observations and practical insights for iterative improvement.

• Contribute to internal training documentation and sharing of new capability process or tool developments.

About you

• Diploma or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics Electronics or a closely related field.

• Proven experience in hands-on prototyping workshop/lab management or practical engineering environments.

• Proficient using basic CAD tools (e.g. Siemens NX) with ability to print or fabricate simple parts.

• Experience with 3D printing CNC machining.

• Comfortable with mechanical assembly soldering/wiring or entry-level electronics integration.

• Organised methodical with a proactive approach to problem-solving and finishing tasks.

• Strong spoken and written English; clear communicator and approachable team player.

• Experience running test rigs interpreting data and reporting findings.

• Familiarity with programming or instrument control (e.g. Labview Arduino Excel VBA).

• Basic statistical knowledge for experiment analysis (e.g. MSA GR&R).

• Awareness of workplace safety and lab best practices.
