About Us

At Dyson we are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes. We are passionate, collaborative and driven to deliver exceptional performance and user experiences. Dyson offers a unique opportunity for talented individuals to invent, design and develop market leading products for the global market. Based in Singapore, we are looking for an enthusiastic Acoustics Engineer to join our growing Technology Systems Engineering Team.

About the Role

As a Senior Acoustics & Vibration Engineer, you will take ownership of delivering robust acoustics and vibration solutions across the product development lifecycle. You will combine experimental and analytical approaches to diagnose issues, develop solutions, and ensuring reliable and high performance product delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the development and delivery of acoustic and vibration performance throughout product development cycles.
• Define, capture, and manage acoustics requirements and validation strategies.
• Apply Dyson methodologies and engineering best practices to deliver solutions on time, on specification, on cost, and on quality.
• Develop and implement experimental and/or simulation-based approaches (experimental testing, FEA/CFD/system modelling, etc).
• Diagnose and resolve acoustic and vibration issues using techniques such as signal analysis, noise source identification, transfer path analysis, etc.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks early, ensuring timely and robust delivery.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to integrate acoustic solutions into product designs.
• Communicate findings clearly through data-driven insights and technical reviews.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of tools, methodologies and engineering practices.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.

About You

• Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Mechatronics engineering or similar.
• Proven experience in product development with strong analytical focus.
• Solid understanding of mechanical systems and failure analysis.
• Experience in signal processing and vibration analysis (FFT, FRF, spectrogram, waterfall, etc) is required.
• Experience in acoustics techniques such as TPA, ODS, noise localisation, psychoacoustics is highly desirable.
• Experience with simulation tools (FEA, CFD, or system modelling) and understanding of statistical methods/ Six Sigma tools are preferred.
• Demonstrate drive, enthusiasm, self-motivation and a proactive approach to problem-solving.

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.
