Job Summary
Role Overview
TheSenior Motors Research Manager Motors Research will maintain and extend Dysons leadership in motor technology by leveraging Chinas ecosystemmaterials parts processes and manufacturing technologies/equipmentto deliver step-changes incost time-to-deliver and performance. The role blends on-the-ground discovery rigorous qualification and partner stewardship from early exploration through to execution ensuring promising opportunities are converted into funded governed workstreams. This role will also aim to establish a repeatable approach to competitor motor and power system technology intelligence and collaborates closely with electronics (hardware) motor control (software) and battery pack teams to surface high impact power system opportunities.
The role reports directly to the Director of Motors & Power Systems Research.
This is NOT a commodity sourcing role the mandate is technology leadership and value creation through strategic partnerships and execution not transactional buying.
Key Responsibilities
China ecosystem discovery & partnerships:Systematically identify qualify and prioritise suppliers/partners across materials components processes and equipment; build long term relationships that convert into measurable cost time and performance gains.
Opportunity pipeline & execution:Translate discoveries into scoped workstreams; define milestones risks and success criteria; push through trials to adoption with clear entry/exit aims.
Competitor intelligence (motors & power systems):Establish a repeatable approach to capture competitor architectures partners and publicly available performance metrics; design consistent benchmarking and establish regular communication of insights. Conduct competitor insight using lawful ethical and appropriately authorised methods respecting data classification and confidentiality.
Electronics collaboration:With electronics discovery and delivery teams identify and assess motor drive opportunities that shift system level finances and performance whilst maintaining IP superiority in motor control algorithms; lead trials that evidence impact.
Cross functional delivery:Align with DDM Discovery & Delivery Manufacturing Engineering Operations Procurement and Finance to resource and govern initiatives; enable contracting trials cost models and scale-up.
Governance & cadence:Prepare concise inputs and recommendations for decision forums ( DRR/DDR MT); maintain visibility of pipeline risks and decisions to enable timely trade-offs.
