About Us

At Dyson, we’re pioneering advanced robotics that transform everyday engineering. Our ambitious robotics research programme is driving the development of cutting‑edge perception and localisation systems, bringing real‑world autonomy and intelligence to future products.

With over 20 years of investment in robotics—supported by 200 engineers, 420 patents, and £28 million already dedicated to our first robot vacuum—Dyson sits at the forefront of this revolution. Our multidisciplinary team works across Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robot Control, Mechatronics, Electronics, and Human‑Robot Interaction, in a collaborative, friendly, and globally diverse environment.

This is just the beginning. Join us in advancing intelligent, adaptable, and physically capable systems that will shape the future of domestic robotics.

About the Role

We’re looking for innovators with hands‑on experience in computer vision or robotics. You’ll be part of a world‑class research team to design, prototype, and deliver robust perception solutions for Dyson’s next‑generation robotic platforms. We value initiative, creativity, and a strong desire to solve meaningful real‑world problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Communicate complex concepts clearly within a cross‑functional, multicultural team.
• Take ownership and work autonomously to deliver against ambitious goals.
• Design, implement, and evaluate novel perception algorithms for real‑world robotic challenges.
• Build and rigorously test prototypes—across simulation and hardware—to assess performance and reliability.
• Identify and resolve challenging edge cases encountered in domestic environments.
• Collaborate with engineers from multiple disciplines to create systems that balance physical, computational, and cost constraints.
• Develop software in Python and/or C++; deploy and test solutions on prototype or target hardware.
• Apply state‑of‑the‑art machine learning and image processing methods suited to embedded robotic platforms.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and best practices in academic and industrial robotics.
