At Dyson we are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes. We’re creative, collaborative, practical and enthusiastic.
Dyson offers a unique opportunity for skilled individuals to invent, design and develop market leading products for the global market. The Robotics Innovation team develops feature and format proofs-of-concept using using state of the art techniques and integrates all aspects of robotics to create robotic products that are truly different and better.
About The Role
As a Graduate Robotics Software Engineer, you will design and develop core robotics behaviours and features for intelligent products, contributing to high-performance, reliable, and scalable robotic systems. You will work within a cross-functional team to solve real-world robotics problems, particularly in autonomous behaviours and perception. Your responsibilities may include:
- Contributing to the ideation, exploration and proof-of-concept implementation of new feature and product concepts
- Designing, implementing, testing or extending functional components and tools of our software platforms in C++ and Python
- Researching, evaluating and potentially integrating state of the art Robot Learning methods
- Employing Design of Experiments to benchmark method or system performance
- Working with physical robot platforms and components
- Collaborating closely with team mates and experts in robotics, software, hardware and machine learning
- Proactively adopting best engineering practices within the Dyson framework
About You
You’re enthusiastic about technology, creative and tenacious in your approach to problem solving. You’re inquisitive by nature, hungry to learn and ready to get stuck in, which will allow you to contribute to live projects from the start. You’ll further need:
- Fundamental knowledge of Python and/or C++
- Ability to apply your programming skills effectively in real-world projects
- Ability to work independently on tasks while knowing when to seek clarification, support, or feedback
- Clear communication of technical concepts, both verbally and in documentation
- Demonstrable experience applying your skills through course, personal or society projects
- A creative approach to problem-solving, combined with strong attention to detail
- Prior experience with ROS2, Deep Learning frameworks (PyTorch) or physics simulators (MuJoCo, Isaac Sim)
- Prior research or engineering experience with semantic understanding, interactive navigation, multi-modal generative models, finetuning foundations models or whole-body control of articulated robots is a plus

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
