Job Description Summary

Responsible for delivering consistent and efficient design and validation of new products and features.

Job Description

This is what we need you to do… The Senior Sensor Electronics Engineer is part of the China Hardware Electronics. He/she will be working with engineers on multiple R&D projects to develop various sensing systems/technologies using off-the-shelve sensor parts/modules.

The role responsibilities will cover the following areas:

• Develop cost-effective sensing technologies to use for a given problem.


• Design, build, test and analyse the sensing systems.


• Develop and tune the sensing algorithms as part of the product feature development.


• Actively collaborate with other function teams (electronic, mechanical, embedded SW, test team, etc) for the full sensing systems integration and to ensure product and system requirements are fully met.


• Taking designs from early proof of concept through development and into production.


• Liaise with external suppliers and third parties on Dyson's product requirements, ensuring smooth communication throughout the partnership.

In your first year you will…

• Be challenged to solve complex problems in novel ways.


• Work with cross-functional teams to develop and integrate creative solution into Dyson products.


• Work with product owners to capture requirements and select appropriate sensing and actuating technologies.


• Take designs through Dyson design process, present and participate in design review.


• Motivate and mentor graduate and regular engineers on your team.

This is what we need you to have…

• A degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. Electronics Engineering, Physics)


• At least 2-3 years of experience working in design, implementation, testing, analysis and characterization of off-the-shelve sensors such as (but not limited to) IMU, magnetic, pressure, hall-effect, photo optic, thermal sensor etc


• Experience in camera and ISP tuning is advantageous.


• Experience with quantitative and statistical data analysis using Matlab or Python for sensing algorithm development.


• Experience with analogue signal conditioning and digital processing design techniques.


• Experience using hardware lab equipment.


• Experience in schematic / layout design and review is a plus.


• Experience with analysis/troubleshooting skills and tools.


• Experience with end-of-line calibration equipment and testers.


• Good quality engineering process understanding and appreciation.


• Excellent communication skills verbally and in writing to executive level and regular engineers

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.
