Introduction:
Dyson began twenty one years ago with James Dyson and a handful of engineers questioning everyday products, thinking differently and making them better. We are now the world's number one vacuum cleaner manufacturer in the UK, US, Japan, Europe and Australasia.
We've even branched out to improving commercial technology that frustrates us. The Dyson Air blade hand dryer dries hands in ten seconds, it’s also the most hygienic and energy efficient hand dryer available. A fan, Air Multiplier, with no blades or grille. And most recently, Supersonic, Dyson’s first-ever hair dryer that has taken the world by storm.
There are over 4000 in the world and we’re all inventive and hugely passionate about what we do. At our Development Centre in Johor Bahru, Malaysia & Singapore there are almost 1600 of us, a mixture of engineers and support staff, we are Dyson people that are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes. Our teams will continue to grow as Dyson ramp up forays into different areas.
Technical Program Management (TPM) Team: NPI Project Delivery
• The TPM team oversees end to end delivery of New Product Introduction (NPI) projects.
• Each TPM Project Manager (TPM) is assigned an NPI project within a specific category.
• The TPM evaluates project complexity and collaborates with key engineering functions to allocate necessary resources.
• The TPM establishes critical engineering checkpoints to track progress and secure senior management approval.
• Beyond engineering reviews, the TPM holds weekly project meetings with their team.
• TPM manage project CAPEX when needed, ensuring spending stays within budget and requesting additional funds when needed.
• Strong coordination and collaboration across engineering teams are essential; TPM must steer this and make tough decisions when required.
• The TPM is responsible for mapping and achieving functional milestones at each checkpoint.
• Success requires thriving in a fast paced, evolving environment and delivering optimal solutions within deadlines.
• The TPM works closely with Operations to install production capacities at the right time.
• TPM are committed team players: they’re flexible, proactive, and willing to exceed expectations.
• TPMs collaborate cross-functionally to deliver DF(X) and design to cost initiatives, ensuring project goals are met.
TPM Responsibilities for NPI Projects
• TPM Project lead will be assigned to individual project.
• Assess NPI complexity and create a resource plan, secure buy in from engineering functions and coordinate staffing.
• Set key checkpoints and engage stakeholders for their approval and input.
• Guide engineering teams to define their deliverables and clear milestones, including relevant design contributions.
• Ensure each function integrates required protocols, such as IQ/OQ/PQ or DFM and Mold Flow analysis, into their plans.
• Align with Operations on project goals and deliverables.
• Hold regular NPI review and share project updates with senior management.
• Build strong relationships with teams outside engineering, especially RDD, Operations and outsource procurement, to support NPI success.
• Maintain a project tracker covering health, timeline adherence, capital spending, DF(X), design to cost and risk projections.
• Foster a collaborative and positive culture across the project team.
• Provide key insights from Manufacturing and Operations perspectives.
• Act as the escalation point for challenges, driving swift resolution.
Candidate Requirements:
• Holds a Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Mechatronic Engineering.
• Demonstrates a strong drive to learn and challenge existing production test and assembly methods.

• Works independently with minimal supervision.
• Brings at least five years of relevant NPI project experience.
• Experienced in regulated environments, including protocol driven processes like IQ/OQ/PQ.
• Familiar with the challenges of outsourced operations.
• PMP certification is an advantage.

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
