About Us
At Dyson, we’re pioneering advanced robotics that transform everyday engineering. Our ambitious robotics research programme is driving the development of cutting-edge perception and localisation systems, bringing real-world autonomy and intelligence to future products.
With over 20 years of investment in robotics—supported by 200 engineers, 420 patents, and £28 million already dedicated to our first robot vacuum—Dyson sits at the forefront of this revolution. Our multidisciplinary team works across Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robot Control, Mechatronics, Electronics, and Human-Robot Interaction, in a collaborative, friendly, and globally diverse environment.
This is just the beginning. Join us in advancing intelligent, adaptable, and physically capable systems that will shape the future of domestic robotics.
About the Role
We’re looking for innovators with hands-on experience in computer vision or robotics. You’ll be part of a world-class research team to design, prototype, and deliver robust perception solutions for Dyson’s next-generation robotic platforms. We value initiative, creativity, and a strong desire to solve meaningful real-world problems.
Key Responsibilities:
Communicate complex concepts clearly within a cross-functional, multicultural team.
Take ownership and work autonomously to deliver against ambitious goals.
Design, implement, and evaluate novel perception algorithms for real-world robotic challenges.
Build and rigorously test prototypes—across simulation and hardware—to assess performance and reliability.
Identify and resolve challenging edge cases encountered in domestic environments.
Collaborate with engineers from multiple disciplines to create systems that balance physical, computational, and cost constraints.
Develop software in Python and/or C++; deploy and test solutions on prototype or target hardware.
Apply state-of-the-art machine learning and image processing methods suited to embedded robotic platforms.
Stay up to date with emerging technologies and best practices in academic and industrial robotics.
Dyson is an equal opportunity employer. We know that great minds don’t think alike, and it takes all kinds of minds to make our technology so unique. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and employment decisions are made without regard to race, colour, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, protected veteran status or other any other dimension of diversity.
Dyson solves real-world problems and creates better products through the application of engineering, science, design and creativity. It is a family-owned, global technology company, founded by Sir James Dyson who remains at the helm alongside his son Jake.
Since inventing the first cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner, the DC01, Dyson has consistently invested in research and development to improve its products and technologies radically. Dyson offers products across a growing range of areas: floorcare, air purification, robotics, haircare including formulations, lighting, hand drying, and most recently audio. Dyson continues to expand into new areas.
Today, Dyson sells products in more than 80 markets, has 450 Dyson stores worldwide and is available in all major technology and beauty retailers. Dyson has global headquarters in Singapore and major technology campuses in Singapore, the UK, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Its global team of engineers, scientists and software developers are focused on developing technology-enabled products which work better and which people love to use. Key areas of focus have included high-speed electric digital motors, sensing and vision systems, robotics, machine learning and aerodynamics.
Beyond products, to encourage an inventive future, Dyson is also inspiring the next generation of engineers and inventors through the Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, the James Dyson Foundation and the James Dyson Award.
The Dyson family applies its problem-solving approach in other fields, and established Dyson Farming in 2012. It is one of the largest farming businesses in the UK, extending to 36,000 acres across Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset. It is a family-owned enterprise unlike any other, focussed on long-term investment in British farming and the countryside to grow tasty and nutritious food.
