The Technology Development team encompasses specialists who provides technical leadership in the fields of flow, thermal management, acoustic and vibration, structural dynamics and mechanics of materials broken up into teams defined as Product Performance, Acoustics, Technical Systems, Simulation and Principals.

Some of your tasks could include:

Work within a project team to deliver the best acoustic and vibration performance of new Dyson products, in line with the product vision.

• Drive designs forward and ensure correct decisions are made at all stages of the design process through experimental validation and other relevant analysis methods.
• Deliver concise and accurate analysis results at all times - these maybe as a result of a computational simulation, an experimental test, or statistical analysis.
• Demonstrate adhere to Dyson processes during project execution, including Dyson design cycle, milestone process, Product Life Management (Specification, FMEA, Problem Reports), key performance metrics.
• Ensure proper handover of projects, from UK to SEA, and from RDD to Operations.
• Communicate well with all stakeholders.

Proactively assess risks and solve problems impacting the product desired performance or customer satisfaction:

• Identify, characterize, and highlight risk in a clear and concise manner.

• Find the mitigations of issue(s) through systematic and thorough analysis, present findings to the cross-functional team to drive towards timely and elegant solution.

Take ownership of career development and aim for progression into a Subject Matter Expert:

• Develop technical competencies by active involvement in projects, self-learning, and training.
