Job description

About Us

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.

Our scale and rapid growth make Dyson rich in new opportunities. We value new ideas and diverse perspectives, so our people are trusted with real work and responsibility from the outset. You'll develop fast and have the chance to move into different business areas and regions. And you'll be part of a global network of like-minded people – a community that supports and learns from each other.

SWHWPS 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 SWHWPS is responsible for the motor control, electromagnetic design, system control, EOL production solution, software, and verifications. 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 Senior Applied Control Systems Engineer. We are expanding our embedded software team and are seeking an individual to join us. You must be fluent in the C programming language and be equally comfortable with high-level design and abstraction as with implementation, testing and debugging of code. You will be working as part of larger project team and some of your tasks could include:

• Develop and maintain real time embedded software for our world-leading Dyson Digital Motors and other advanced control systems.
• Develop software for test systems to enable automated production testing including motor production line tune and test and power electronics hardware test.
• Document software requirements, design, and implementation.
• Be responsible for embedded software aspects of failure analysis: completing root cause analysis of any failures of the motor or associated drive and control system at both product and motor level.
• Facilitate meetings e.g. stand-ups, planning, and retrospective.
• Communicate with internal/external stakeholders and manage product backlog by prioritization.

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. You will have regular performance conversations as well as opportunities for development to enable you to build your reputation within the team.
