About the role
Lead/Senior Acoustics and Vibration Engineer working within the Engineering Analysis PTC team to apply skills and experience in acoustics and vibrations to deliver Dyson internally developed digital motor technologies and their product integration. You will use advanced analysis, simulation, and real-world testing to optimise motor reliability, minimise noise and vibration, and unlock new standards in performance.
Key responsibilities
- Simulate and analyse the behaviour of high-speed rotors using modelling tools such as ANSYS or MATLAB to ensure optimal dynamic stability
- Design and conduct vibration tests using accelerometers, laser vibrometers, and other specialised equipment to mitigate vibration in prototypes and production units
- Utilize state-of-the‑art equipment and laboratories to diagnose acoustic issues in high‑speed electric motors
- Diagnose sources of noise, vibration and instability, propose and implement design changes, and validate effectiveness
- Work closely with multidisciplinary teams—including motor control, mechanical, and acoustic engineers—to ensure designs meet demanding performance and reliability standards
- Research, test, and apply the latest techniques in noise and vibration reduction and rotor dynamics to further improve product performance and user experience
- Clearly document analysis, findings, and recommendations for design and manufacturing teams
About you
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical, Aeronautical or Acoustics Engineering or a related engineering field (or equivalent experience)
- Minimum of 3 years relevant experience in a high‑technology engineering environment, with demonstrated technical competence and a proven ability to execute product development projects in a disciplined and timely manner
- Fundamental knowledge in one or more of the areas: Structural Dynamics, Rotor Dynamics, Vibrations and Acoustics
- Good understanding of experimental techniques and statistical data analysis, particularly about vibration, natural frequency or acoustic measurement
- Experience and understanding of rotating machinery design is preferred
- Experience and understanding of signal data processing and Matlab software is a plus
- Experience in using Finite Element Analysis software such as ANSYS, Nastran, or Abaqus is a plus
- Experience in using programming languages such as Python, or similar is a plus
- A logical thinker with excellent attention to detail and a proven structured approach to creative problem solving
- Ability to communicate appropriate, concise, and accurate information in written and verbal form
