We innovate from first principles. We don't copy; we reinvent. At Dyson, we solve the problems others choose to ignore. Within the Advanced New Product Development (ANPD) team, we operate at the cutting edge where raw research meets market reality. We take early-stage ideas across our Home Categories—including Robotics, Environmental Care, and Floorcare (Dry & Wet)—and turn them into revolutionary consumer technologies.
About the RoleAs an ANPD Graduate Engineer, you will bridge the gap between early research and delivery readiness. You will sit at the absolute zero-to-one phase of innovation, turning ambiguous concepts into functional realities. Operating in a fast-paced environment, your mission is to rapidly build, test, and validate ideas to support quick-to-market product creation, feature development, and engineering counter-proposals.
This role is about hands-on building, rapid iteration, and translating complex engineering challenges into market-leading products.
Key Responsibilities- Rapid Prototyping & Validation: Build and evaluate Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) in rapid development sprints. To bring these early concepts to life and instantly validate their feasibility, you will frequently integrate embedded computing, hardware electronics, and practical programming into your physical prototypes where necessary.
- Product Creation: Assist in defining early product architecture and system intent for sub-category proposals before they reach Business Agreed status.
- Counter-Proposal Development: Engineer alternative technical solutions when existing technologies face maturity bottlenecks, delivery constraints, or competitive gaps.
- Technology Maturation: Develop low-to-mid-maturity technologies, managing component-level technology transfers and establishing system operating limits.
- System Integration: Define system architecture across hardware and software structures, proactively identifying and resolving integration risks.
- Technical Deliverables: Produce high-quality engineering documentation to prepare concepts for official delivery handover, including CAD models, vision specifications, safety/FMEA inputs, and validation data.
- Agile Engineering: Thrive within a hybrid engineering model combining structured system engineering with lean, iterative "build-measure-learn" cycles.
- Data-Driven: Maintain a heavy bias for action, letting experimental data drive your design decisions.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate seamlessly across the business to drive concepts from ideation to reality.
- Mentorship & Growth: Grow within a team culture that prioritizes continuous learning. You will receive dedicated training and ongoing mentorship designed to develop you into a highly capable, multi-disciplinary engineer.
- Background: A degree in an engineering discipline, including but not limited to Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Software, or Computer Engineering. We value diverse technical backgrounds and encourage graduates from all engineering fields to apply.
- Mindset: Strong engineering fundamentals paired with a natural ability to simplify complex systems.
- Execution: Hands-on experience with prototyping, CAD modeling, simulation tools, programming, or embedded systems.
- Adaptability: Comfortable navigating fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities.
- Communication: Highly collaborative with the ability to communicate technical trade-offs across multi-disciplinary teams.

Dyson Insights
What We Do
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 over 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
