About Us

Dyson is a global technology enterprise. We solve the problems others choose to ignore, with surprising new inventions that defy convention and simply work better.

We push the boundaries of what others have defined as possible. Our approach starts with an engineering mindset and different thinking. Then we continuously refine our ideas - unwilling to compromise and driven by an obsession for finding a better way.

Our new product teams take radical innovative ideas and develop them into reality. They explore the limits of our technology and optimise it through relentless experimenting, testing, and iterating. They then develop new ways to test and evaluate performance, to accurately position our technology against our competition.

About the role

Design Engineering are agile, creative thinkers who are deeply passionate about great design and disruptive solutions. We take pride in turning product concepts into robust, manufacturable designs, working on individual parts, assemblies, and entire products. Challenges fuel our enthusiasm, and we firmly believe in our problem- solving abilities, always striving to make Dyson products the best they can be.

As a Senior Design Engineer in the Design Engineering function based at our Shanghai or Shenzhen office in China, your primary role will be to collaborate with Dyson internal teams, contract manufacturers, and ODM/JDM partners to ensure the successful delivery of mechanical designs and product integration. Drawing upon your technical expertise and skillsets, you will ensure the quality and timely delivery of work produced by our development partners in a cost-effective manner.

Responsibility

• Requirement management: Support to manage and maintain the subsequent changes of technical specification and design requirements.
• Detail Design: Perform Sustaining work to continuously improve product quality, reduce costs, increase production throughput, and evaluate potential alternative suppliers or contract manufactures. Maintaining engineering deliverables including 3D model, engineering drawings, tolerance stacks, engineering BOM, etc.
• Build evaluation: Evaluate the build process to confirm its effectiveness and efficiency in achieving design and project goals. Assess the quality of build outputs against the requirements, ensuring they meet the established standards.
• Test evaluation: Provide technical guidance in test planning and the development of test methods. Drive the execution and reporting of testing activities, ensuring that the tests are conducted properly, and results are accurately documented.
• Risk & Issues Management: Managing complex problems with good understanding of 8D, taking the responsibility to develop design solution with a good technical justification with tools including Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), lessons learned, 8D, prototyping, etc.
• Design Change Management and Part Approval: Review and approve Change Request, review engineering deliverables including drawings and engineering BOM, part approval or Deviation Request, ensuring the estimated efforts, risks and benefits are satisfactory before proceeding.

About you 

• A degree in a relevant engineering or science discipline or equivalent. Mechanical Engineering is preferred.
• Minimum of around 5 years work experience for mechanical/product design.
• Sound understanding of mechanical/product design principles and the development of products and technologies through prototyping to mass production, plastic parts design especially.
• Good understanding of multiple tooling and manufacturing techniques, and ability to review DFM reports (injection/compression/diecasting tools, etc).
