About us
At Dyson we are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes. We are proud to be authentic, different and pioneers. We are driven by a desire to solve real problems and improve everyday lives with intuitive solutions that do more, but use less. Family owned, we are not restricted by conventional thinking; we explore, discover and learn for ourselves. Never satisfied, we believe everything can always be made better.
About the role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Graduate Mechanical Design Research Engineer to join the highly successful Motors and Power Systems team within the Research, Design and Development (RDD) department.
The team have been pioneers in the industry for more than 15 years, coming up with a range of very high speed, very power dense compressor motors that are highly efficient, cost-effective and robust. These motors are conceived in the UK and manufactured at Dyson’s state-of-the-art facilities in Singapore and Philippines.
Within this team the successful applicant will be primarily working on the mechanical design of our Dyson Digital Motors (DDMs).
Key responsibilities:
Deliver robust design solutions that fulfil the fundamental design requirements
Generate design requirements and identify risk areas
Develop 3D CAD and engineering drawings for mechanical components and assemblies along with test rigs and assembly fixtures
Understand and comply with relevant International Standards
Be responsible for delivering parts from concept to proof of principle
Develop innovative and novel concepts with high value IP while considering freedom to operate
Follow best practice and improve upon existing processes within the team where possible
