Job description

About Us

Dyson’s Virtual Engineering team brings together specialists in FEA, thermal, moldflow, optics, vibration, and electromagnetics simulation. By using advanced digital modelling, we solve engineering challenges and optimise products before building physical prototypes. Our collaborative, multi-disciplinary team works globally and partners externally to deliver data-driven insights for world-class products.

About the Role

1. Technical

Perform static, dynamic, structural thermal- mechanical analysis

Minimal guidance on technical tasks

2. Project

Drive design forward and ensure correct decisions are made at all stages of the design process through credible simulation methods. Able to pick up technical skills needed to resolve an issue through self-learning.

• Work collaboratively with Design Engineers through defining simulation/ experimental targets and adhering to the Dyson development process; Product Life Management (Specification, FMEA, FRACAS), Product Creation Framework and periodic status reporting.
• Ensure proper handover of projects with agreed deliverables, from UK to SEA, communicating well with project stakeholders.

3. Process

Proactive in assessing risks and problem solving impacting the product desired performance or customer satisfaction based on analytics data. Highlight risk in a clear and concise manner

• Plan and prioritise task within the project team
• Find the mitigations of issue(s) through systematic and thorough research/ measurement, present findings to the cross-functional team to drive towards timely and elegant solution.
• Drive technical excellence within organization, e.g. promoting best practices of designs for mechanical robustness, either through day to day work within the project or knowledge sharing sessions.
• Identify and develop new opportunities/ tools methods with the aim of enhancing the performance, reliability and time to market of Dyson products.

4. Career development

Take ownership of personal career development by setting out immediate and long term plan together with line manager. May manage development plan of discipline engineers. Coach discipline engineers as part of their development plan

About You

Education & Experience Required: Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Material Science and Engineering, Mechanics of Materials or equivalent, preferred applicants have a Master degree. 5 years of experience in mechanical product analysis & development, preferably in the consumer electrical appliance industry.

• Competent in the use and application of CAD/CAE tools (ANSYS, Moldflow, Abaqus or other similar analysis tool) in general.
• In-depth understanding of the principles and application of structural analysis (FEA) and/or plastic molding process analysis, modal/vibration analysis.
• In-depth understanding of the principles and application of solid mechanics and strength of material.
• Applied knowledge with structural optimization based on FEA automation and/or machine learning is welcomed.
• Experience in hardware and software for measurement and data acquisition (e.g. B&K Pulse, strain gauge, MATLAB and Labview etc.) is preferred.

Technical and problem solving skills

• Ability to analyse and solve problem using established approach.
• Demonstrate ability to provide independent viewpoints/argument to a problem.
• Ability to plan ahead and prioritise task, typically within a project.
• Able to identify technical risks within projects.
• Expected to suggest specific actions to mitigate risks.
• Able to contribute in FMEA sessions.

Interpersonal skills

• Demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Ability to receive constructive feedback and coaching, and respond appropriately.
