About Us
Research, Design, and Development (RDD) is Dyson’s engine room. It’s where our engineers challenge convention, build, test, fail, refine, and fail again—all to invent technology that solves the problems others ignore.
Based in our RDD Centre at Science Park, Singapore, you will join a global team delivering groundbreaking, trailblazing technologies to the world. Our team focuses heavily on collaborative innovation, working closely with external strategic partners to develop the core technologies—the very "organs"—that power our next generation of products.
About the Role
As a Senior/Lead Technology Engineer, you will hit the ground running on live, high-impact projects. You will take complete ownership of your deliverables within a larger global team while working directly alongside external strategic partners. In this role, you will explore, evaluate, and optimize pioneering engineering solutions while supporting, mentoring, and coaching junior team members.
Key Responsibilities
Solution Engineering: Generate, explore, and recommend advanced solutions at a technology level using a mix of analytical, numerical, and experimental methods.
Partner & Technology Management: Collaborate closely with external partners to co-develop and pave the way for immediate and future pipeline technologies across our product portfolio.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to develop cutting-edge capabilities that seamlessly integrate into product-level features.
Prototyping & Testing: Lead hands-on prototyping activities and design/execute rigorous test methods to validate and verify your engineering solutions.
Requirements & Documentation: Capture and document precise technical requirements, including Bills of Specifications (BoS), design documents, CAD models, and engineering drawings.
Lifecycle Support: Provide crucial engineering support for ongoing production, troubleshoot complex issues, introduce new variants, and drive reliability and cost-saving improvements.
About You
You are a proactive, hands-on engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and isn't afraid to challenge conventional thinking. You possess razor-sharp analytical problem-solving skills, a collaborative mindset, and the leadership traits necessary to drive technical packages forward.
Qualifications & Experience
Education: A Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
Domain Expertise: 5+ years (9+ years for Lead) of relevant experience developing mechanical or electromechanical technologies, with specific, deep knowledge in designing heating systems and thermal technologies
Partner Management: Proven experience working with or managing external partners, suppliers, or research institutes to co-develop technical solutions.
Project Management: Demonstrated ability to lead yourself and others in managing project deliverables and complex work packages at a system or product level.
Technical Toolkit: Proficiency in CAD tools for design, CAE software for simulation (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL), and numerical modeling/scripting tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python).
Testing & Analysis: Strong background in characterizing mechanical and electromechanical performance, alongside a structured approach to performing deep-dive failure analysis on complex systems.
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.
