Job description

Based in Dyson's Global Development Centre in Senai, the Senior Manufacturing Engineer will be responsible for leading project or assembly teams to develop world class products, and to motivate the engineers within their team to become experts in applying their knowledge effectively to design Dyson products. Reporting directly to the Engineering Manager and working with high autonomy to run project or assembly teams, the Senior Design Engineer must exhibit strong leadership in an environment of technology challenges and aggressive time lines. Clear technical understanding and excellent decision making capabilities are essential.

Accountabilities:

• Delivery of integrated assembly/system solutions: All relevant assemblies including their expected performance targets must be delivered to the Engineering Manager on time, on spec, on quality, and on cost.
• Resolution of assembly/system level product Safety, Reliability and Quality issues: Appropriate escalation and clear focus is needed from the relevant assembly or technical area as and when issues arise.
• Communication: Strong communication links must be developed with both the Design Managers and the Engineering Manager to ensure problems are discussed in an open and mature fashion and a consistent, collaborative approach is applied to all elements of product integration.
• Pre-Project Transition Support: Managers must take a proactive approach to project status in the run up to project transition. Which may include travel to UK during this time as well as a heightened communication approach with UK counterparts.
• Project Transition: At the point of project transition, ensure that all deliverables relating to each assembly/system have been validated and the design intent has been clearly documented and communicated.
• Professional Development & Mentoring: Each Senior Design Engineer is responsible for the professional development of all individuals within their team. Monthly meetings to discuss individual's careers, technical and personal aspirations should be commonplace and the focus must be on development rather than the immediacy of project delivery. Clear, achievable development and learning options should be identified and followed through to completion.
• Reporting: Each manager is responsible for clear communication of assembly/system status, ensuring the relevant risks and priorities are clearly communicated to the Design Managers and upwards.
• Continuous improvement: A key element of the assembly based structure is the retention and development of knowledge. This increasing knowledge must be used to drive increased performance and development efficiency, reduced development time-scales, increased reliability and reduced product cost whenever possible.
