Overview
At Dyson, we’re fuelled by curiosity and a desire to push boundaries. We encourage unconventional thinking and practical creativity. Our people are collaborative, driven, and united by a passion for engineering solutions that are truly better.
The newly formed ‘Advanced NPD’ team sits at the heart of Dyson’s product development machine, pioneering new concepts in NPD (New Product Development) as well as maturing concepts/technologies from upstream teams into more mature product offerings.
We’re looking for engineers who are curious, inventive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. You should be comfortable experimenting, challenging assumptions, and turning fresh ideas into reality through hands-on prototyping. If you are interested in solving complex technical problems, working on cross-disciplinary projects, and communicating ideas clearly, you’ll fit right in. Join Advanced NPD to shape, build, and develop Dyson’s next generation of innovations.
Detailed Job Scope (Roles & Responsibilities)
Support innovation and concept generation by bringing fresh ideas and using problem-solving skills.
Own CAD models help design, build and test concepts.
Understand how to make test plans, and to control variables in testing and present results clearly.
Work as part of a team on projects and tasks, contributing to sprint meetings, following actions, and supporting progress against project timelines and targets.
Contribute to setting technical requirements (such as pressure, power, flow, performance) by providing analysis, test results, and technical recommendations.
Help select and specify components by evaluating options and providing input on performance, cost, and manufacturability.
Collaborate closely with other engineers, upstream technology teams, internal teams (electronics, design, software), and suppliers under guidance to support project delivery and technology transfer.
Adapt quickly to changing project requirements by reprioritising own work and supporting the team to meet objectives.
Suggest improvements by reviewing past solutions, proposing ideas, and being open to discussing alternatives.

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
