NPI Senior Engineer

About us

At Dyson we think differently challenge convention and are unafraid to make mistakes. Were creative collaborative practical and our worldclass Research Design & Development (RDD) organisation youll work with leading technical specialists and highly motivated creative people to invent design and develop marketleading products. Truly different and better.

About the role

As a Senior Design Engineer in New Category NPIyoullhelp discover and develop disruptive new product concepts features and technologies that are completely new to market. Youll move rapidly from idea to experiment to prototype generating evidence that informs product direction and de risks development. Joining our world-class research design and development (RDD) teamyoullcollaborate with technical specialists and creative engineers to build breakthrough products and shape Dysons future.

What we need you to do

• Generate original ideas and identify market opportunities turning firstprinciples thinking into compelling product concepts and platform architectures.
• Prototype rapidly (handbuilt rigs and 3Dprinted parts) to evaluate feasibility user value and performance; test multiple hypotheses in parallel to answer the most important questions fast.
• Design and integrate electromechanical systems (actuators sensors transmission mechanisms power electronics) to prove novel functions and performance improvements.
• Bring-up and integrate electronics: interface with partner/thirdparty boards adapt layouts for concept needs and integrate sensors/actuators to run functional validation on prototypes.
• Use CAD (e.g. NX) to develop scalable mechanical systems; manage concepts with PLM (e.g. Teamcenter) and validate using hand calculations.
• Design and build test methods and rigs; run labbased experiments and simulations to validate performance reliability and robustness balancing cost and manufacturability.
• Analyse and interpret test/simulation data; present insights and clear recommendations in technical/design reviews with crossfunctional stakeholders.
• Create and maintain specifications design rationale and test plans ensuring traceability and clarity in technical decisionmaking.
• Collaborate with Research/NST and external suppliers to integrate novel technologies into concepts and subsystems.
• Investigate real user problems and emerging home environments to inspire and steer meaningful innovation in new categories and formats.
• Keep current with industry trends and new technologies and apply them to elevate product design and performance.
• Take ownership of engineering challenges resolving issues thoroughly with technical excellence and accountability and contribute to team/department improvement initiatives.

About you

Qualifications & experience

• Degree (or equivalent) in Mechanical/Mechatronics/Electronics Engineering or a closely related discipline; exposure to product/industrial design is advantageous.
• 4 years experience in product development tackling complex user needs and technical problems in electromechanical systems or mechanisms.
• Demonstrable creativity and firstprinciples problem solving with an iterative evidenceled approach (prototype test learn iterate).
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals (tolerancing materials mechanisms) and proficiency in 3D CAD (preferably NX) plus experience with PLM (Teamcenter).
• Experience validating concepts via hand calculations and via rapid lab testing and bespoke rigs.
• Handson integration of sensors/actuators and control electronics into early concepts; comfortable modifying or adapting partner electronics to suit prototype needs.
• Familiarity with requirements/systems engineering and writing/maintaining clear specifications design rationales and test plans.
• Awareness of manufacturing processes and tooling DFM/DFA and early cost/performance tradeoff.
• Excellent communication skills; able to present your work effectively across disciplines and to business stakeholders.
• Proficient in written and spoken English to collaborate with global teams.

How youll work

• Methodical userfocused design process with a track record of delivering creative valuedriven solutions that balance performance cost and time.
• Thrives in a fastpaced ambiguous environment able to plan and prioritise your workand coordinate with othersto meet project goals efficiently.
• Confident working with minimal supervision while knowing when to seek alignment or escalate risks early.
