Job description

About us

At Dyson we’re 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.That’s where the Technology Development team comes in.

About the role

We are seeking a Senior Simulation Engineer - FEA to join our dynamic team responsible for developing the next generation of innovative products. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in Structural Mechanics, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and injection molding to ensure the delivery of robust, high-quality designs through advanced CAE verification processes. You will play a pivotal role in providing analytical insights that enhance experimental results, drive early development concepts, and support technology readiness for groundbreaking projects.

Key Responsibilities:

Evaluate and ensure the structural integrity and manufacturability (DFM) of parts, ensuring they meet all internal testing requirements and manufacturing feasibility standards.

Perform finite element meshing and model assembly using tools such as ANSYS, ANSA, or LS-PrePost (or equivalent pre-processing software).

Execute drop test and explicit dynamic simulations using ANSYS or LS-DYNA tools.

Conduct root cause analysis and drive design improvements by utilizing failure analysis methodologies and design of experiments (DOE).

Summarize findings and communicate technical insights effectively to cross-functional teams, including senior management.

Drive product designs forward using sound engineering principles, ensuring data-driven decisions are made throughout the design process.

Continuously challenge existing CAE methods and processes, implementing improvements to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and innovation.

About you

Minimally a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.

Minimum of 5 years of experience in FEA and structural mechanics.

Proficient with FEA simulation tools, especially ANSYS, LS-DYNA, ANSA preprocessor, and META post-processor.

Injection Molding Simulation: Experience with Moldflow/Moldex3D tools is a strong advantage.

Deep understanding of Applied Solid Mechanics, Material Science, Statics, and Dynamics.

Familiarity with Siemens NX or similar tools is considered an added advantage.

Skilled in correlating CAE simulation results with experimental test data to validate outcomes.

Exhibits a systematic, logical approach to gathering information and resolving engineering challenges.

Capable of developing comprehensive project plans that align with expected deliverables and deadlines.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English; able to convey complex ideas to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Strong attention to detail and ability to interpret data meaningfully.

Dyson Malaysia monitors the market to ensure competitive salaries and bonuses. Beyond that, you’ll enjoy a transport allowance and comprehensive medical care and insurance. But financial benefits are just the start of a Dyson career. Professional growth, leadership development and new opportunities abound, driven by regular reviews and dynamic workshops. And with a vibrant culture, the latest devices and a relaxed dress code reflecting our engineering spirit, it’s an exciting team environment geared to fuelling and realising ambition.

Our Hullavington technology campus in the UK is a former Royal Air Force station, which was used to train pilots in the Second World War. In 1940 Hullavington was a base for aircraft from Mosquitoes, Spitfires and Lancasters to Douglas Bostons, North American Mitchells and GAL Hotspur troop-carrying gliders. By the end of the war there were more than 1,000 aircraft based on the airfield.
