Design Engineer

Overview

Dyson offers a unique opportunity for talented individuals to design and develop market leading products for the global market. By working in our world class Research Design and Development department, these individuals have the opportunity to work alongside leading technical specialists and highly motivated creative people, to create products which fulfill our ambition of being truly different and better than our competitors.

In order to do this, our Design Engineers are challenged to develop products that meet or exceed the technical specification, cost and time requirements set. Design Engineers are expected to drive for results using a flexible, challenging and diligent approach.

About The Role

Design Engineers have knowledge of own discipline and continues to develop higher level of knowledge & skills within the role. As part of a cross functional team, Design Engineers take a hands on approach, using established processes and best practices to deliver user-focussed and robust solutions that meet design and project goals. Specifically, Design Engineers are expected to:

• Deliver part designs & assemblies to production on time, on cost, on quality and on specification.
• Robustly plan and prioritize tasks based on risk level, resolution, maturity and interdependency of tasks.
• Identify and design test requirements to replicate anticipated usage and optimise products to be robust and high performing. Develop strategies to gather the required data for target setting.
• Create detailed design specifications such as 3D models, CAD drawings, Bill of Materials and Technical Specifications, including tolerance stack analysis and wide range of design for X considerations.
• Regularly participate & contribute in design & technical reviews with technical Leads & Engineering Managers.
• Identify and design test requirements to replicate anticipated usage and optimise products to be robust and high performing. Develop strategies to gather the required data for target setting.
• Build functional prototype products suitable for testing, review and demonstration
• Perform analysis on test failures and develop efficient solution.
• Perform Sustaining work to continuously improve product quality, reduce costs, increase production throughput, and evaluate potential alternative suppliers or contract manufactures.
• Collaborate and communicate with other Design Functional Owners, System Owners and Global Operation Team to ensure effective and timely inputs.
