Description du poste

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 robotic products, working across complex mechanical, electronic and software‑enabled systems. The role may involve autonomous behaviours, sensing, navigation, docking, cleaning systems, user interaction and product integration. 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.

Robotics focus

• Support the development and integration of robotic product systems, features and mechanisms.
• Work across mechanical, electronic, sensing, embedded software and user‑experience interfaces to deliver integrated solutions.
• Develop and validate concepts through prototypes, test rigs, simulation, trials and structured engineering analysis.
• Support system integration and issue resolution with Dyson teams, partners, suppliers and manufacturing sites.

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.

Dyson is an equal opportunity employer. We know that great minds don’t think alike, and it takes all kinds of minds to make our technology so unique. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and employment decisions are made without regard to race, colour, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, protected veteran status or other any other dimension of diversity.

At Dyson we are focused on solving the problems that others have ignored; solving them first using our technology and ingenuity. In order to achieve this we need to pioneer technologies that are different and authentic. This is the core of what we do and who we are. We must strive to create the future, every single day by developing new things, different things, things that go against the grain with a diverse and global team of ingenious minds. Dyson employs 14,000 people and is present in more than 80 countries. And while we are growing fast we want Dyson to remain a start‑up in spirit with the freedom of experimentation and learning, constantly reinventing our products as well as reinventing how we work, how we sell and how we support our owners. At the same time we are working through the James Dyson Foundation, James Dyson Award and Dyson Institute to inspire future engineers and pioneering a new approach to engineering education. Underlining everything we do in this diverse environment is the need to always show respect, supporting each other as one team to overcome whatever challenges we encounter. We drive empowerment, development and equality in an inclusive environment for our people around the world. The future doesn’t just happen, we look to make it happen, to achieve leaps through pioneering new ideas.
