Dyson is a global technology enterprise. We solve the problems others choose to ignore, with surprising new inventions that defy convention and simply work better. We’re driven by progress and thrive on the challenge of relentless improvement. We’re growing fast and our ambition is huge – more categories, more locations, and more people.

Power Systems is a global RDD function that designs and develops Dyson’s internal technologies that enable most of our products. The team has experts in wide range of areas such as electromagnetic, mechanical, electrical, control algorithm, software, and project management.

Motor Drives and Advanced Control (MDAC) within Power Systems is responsible for the motor control, electromagnetic, system control, EOL production solution, software, and verifications. With over 100 experts globally, our team works from early development through to the production of our designs.

About the role
Dyson offers a unique opportunity for talented individuals to join its Research, Design and Development (RDD) function in Singapore as part of MDAC Team as a Graduate Motor Drives Engineer. He/she will be applying his/her skills and experience in Electrical Machines Design, Modelling and Simulation, and Power Electronics to deliver Motor Drives solution to our next generation Dyson technologies and products.

You will be working as part of larger project team and some of your tasks could include:

Support design, development, and implementation of motor control algorithm in both product and production as per project plan.

Perform data analysis on production datalog, buy off and spot opportunities for process improvement & optimisation.

Document motor control requirements, design guide, test method and implementation through Change Request.

Review system verification results and provide feedbacks.

Perform root cause analysis with documentation for the field return from MDAC perspective

Be able to adapt and apply your skills to other areas of work and tasks within the business as may be required to benefit the wider team. This could include, but is not limited to, supplier liaison for issue resolution or audit, engineering design work, test rig building and production equipment commissioning.

Working alongside engineers, scientists, and technical experts across a broad range of disciplines, you’ll be comfortable learning from others but also sharing your own knowledge, ideas and opinions. In fact, we encourage this. For the duration of your programme, you will have regular performance conversations as well as opportunities for development to enable you to build your reputation within the team.

In 1978 James Dyson noticed how the air filter in the Ballbarrow spray-finishing room was constantly clogging with powder particles. Then one day he visited a local sawmill and noticed how the sawdust was being removed from the air by large industrial cyclones. Inspired by this, he designed and built an industrial cyclone tower, which removed the powder particles by exerting centrifugal forces greater than 100,000 times those of gravity. Could the same principle work in a vacuum cleaner?
