Lead Engineer, Systems Performance Modelling

Position overview:

At Dyson were obsessed with continuously making things better pushing the boundaries of what others have defined as impossible. We do this by making products that solve real world problems using both novel technologies and established technologies in new and innovative ways. Integrating these technologies into a product and ensuring that we are delivering market leading performance to our customers is a challenging job and one that takes specialist skills. Thats where the Technology Development team comes in.

We are looking for talented Simulation Engineer Performance to join our RDD Technology Development team to support the development of our new Floorcare Robots and Environment Care products.

Working as part of a small team you will be responsible for the product performance analysis. You will be working alongside the design and functional teams to create new ways to measure and predict key performance parameters; and ensure that our technologies are up to meeting their ambitious targets. You will use a mixture of simulation test and engineering judgement to solve the problems that arise as we develop our technologies and products. You will work alongside your UK counterparts to pick projects up from an early design stage and take them through to production.

What you will do:

• Takes increased levels of responsibility to deliver support / guidance to assigned projects for performance simulation related activities

• Ability to recognise technical risks relating to technical discipline within project. Expectation to understand implications & to suggest specific actions to mitigate these risks. Able to contribute in FMEA sessions

• More detailed increased complexity of simulations. May be involved with defining new processes & methods

• Proactively search out & identify areas for improvement in our methodologies & practices. There is an added expectation to propose improvements actively implementing when appropriate to do so

• Work closely with various department across site (UK MY SG & PH); with the opportunity to travel aboard for project & knowledge transfer

Requirement:

• University Degree or Masters in Mechanical Engineering (other relevant discipline will be considered)

Skills:

• Higher level knowledge of simulation numerical analysis and modelling. (Fluid Dynamics Thermodynamics Particle Science & Acoustics)

• Higher level user of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools (ANSYS Fluent CFX etc.)

• Higher level user of modelling tools (Matlab Simulink & Simscape etc.)

• Good experience of experimental methodology & analysis techniques

Performance & Personal Competencies:

• Ability to gather information & solve problem with a systematic & logical approach. Expected to be able to solve problems effectively whilst managing stakeholders expectations.

• Ability to put together & agree a defined project plan to deliver expected work for any given project; regularly readdressing & acting on shifting priorities & delivering work accordingly.

• Will have evidence of strong written & verbal communication skills. Ability to clearly concisely & confidently present & articulate ideas to larger peer group often cross-category. Proficient in communicating ideas & concepts. Starting to develop ability to tailor communication to suit different levels & persuade/influence others as needed.

• Willing to receive constructive feedback & coaching responding in an appropriate & professional manner. Is able to provide constructive feedback technical oversight & mentorship to more junior members of team in technical discipline.

• Demonstrates effective collaboration & co-operation skills usually involving stakeholders with similar goals with familiar & less-challenging collaborators.

• Able to work independently with infrequent periodic input & guidance on assigned tasks. Little supervision needed

• Taking more of an active role in positively contributing to team goals as well as a greater level of responsibility for defined individual & team initiatives.
