About us

Dyson is a global technology enterprise. We solve the problems others choose to ignore, developing innovative products and technologies that are different, better and designed around real user needs. Our Research, Design and Development teams combine design, engineering and manufacturing expertise to take products from early concept through to production.

About the role

As a Design Engineer, Category, you will support the design, development and delivery of innovative Dyson products and technologies. Combining hands-on engineering with project ownership, you will work from concept generation and prototyping through detailed design, validation, manufacturing readiness and production.

You will contribute to the development of Dyson Environmental Care products and technologies. The work may involve airflow, filtration, sensing, acoustics, thermal performance, connected features and the integration of complex electromechanical systems into reliable consumer products.

You will collaborate with multidisciplinary Dyson teams, partners, suppliers and manufacturing sites across Asia. Frequent regional travel is required to support design reviews, technical problem-solving, validation and key manufacturing milestones.

Key responsibilities

• Develop products, systems and features from concept through design, validation, industrialisation and production.
• Translate user, commercial and technical needs into clear requirements, specifications and engineering deliverables.
• Take ownership of defined systems, assemblies, product features or technical work packages.
• Create and evaluate concepts through prototyping, analysis, testing and structured problem-solving.
• Balance performance, user experience, quality, safety, reliability, cost, manufacturability and timing.
• Identify technical risks, investigate failures and support effective root-cause resolution.
• Participate in design reviews, technical reviews, prototype builds and project milestone assessments.
• Coordinate activities, risks, decisions and deliverables across multidisciplinary and geographically distributed teams.
• Communicate technical information and project progress clearly to engineering, project and senior stakeholders.

Environmental Care (EC) focus

• Support the design and integration of Environmental Care products, subsystems and product features.
• Develop and assess concepts relating to airflow, filtration, sensing, acoustics, thermal performance or electromechanical integration.
• Plan and support testing to demonstrate product performance, reliability, safety and user benefit.
• Work closely with specialist teams, suppliers and manufacturing partners to resolve design and production issues.

Partner collaboration

• Translate Dyson product requirements and design intent into clear technical briefs and work packages for partners.
• Review partner design proposals, technical evidence and deliverables against agreed requirements.
• Coordinate technical activities and issue resolution across Dyson teams, partners, suppliers and manufacturing sites.
• Support design reviews, prototype builds, validation activities and production trials at partner locations.
• Maintain clear ownership and documentation of technical decisions, deliverables, risks and actions.

Skills and experience

• Practical experience in engineering or product development across multiple stages of the product lifecycle.
• Broad exposure to multidisciplinary engineering, such as mechanical design, mechatronics, electronics, software, systems engineering, testing or manufacturing.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, engineering testing, test-rig development or product integration.
• Ability to translate requirements into practical, robust and manufacturable engineering solutions.
• Understanding of design for manufacture and assembly principles.
• Experience using engineering evidence and data to support technical decisions.
• Ability to manage defined deliverables, priorities, risks and project milestones.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, including working with external development partners.
• A curious, adaptable and hands-on approach to engineering challenges.

About you

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electromechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, General Engineering, Software Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Systems Engineering or a related discipline.
• Relevant work-based, apprenticeship, industrial or professional engineering experience.
• Experience across more than one stage of product development, from concept to production.
• Demonstrated ownership of a project, product area or technical work package.
• Comfortable working within a partner-led development environment.
• Able to operate effectively across cultures, organisations and time zones.
• Willing and able to travel frequently across Asia and occasionally internationally.
• Comfortable undertaking regular or extended business travel during critical stages of product development, validation and industrialisation.

Travel requirements

This is a regionally connected role requiring frequent travel across Asia and occasional international travel. Travel frequency and duration will vary according to project needs and may include travel at short notice or extended periods at partner and manufacturing locations during critical project phases.
