It’s one thing to solve a problem that’ll change technology forever. But turning that idea into a reality takes solving many more problems – and success is ultimately measured, not by the thinking, but by the product. Our Manufacturing department supports over 1,000 Dyson engineers in the UK and 3,000 worldwide turning ideas into ground-breaking technology.
The successful candidate will be involved in early design concept, identifying, Manufacturing technologies and process, materials, pre-empt production issues and finding ways to build more efficiently and RFT. From advising the design teams on DFx, carrying out proof of principal work, designing the machines, to the machines that build the machines, we’re helping to shape the future of technology.
About the role
Our scale and rapid growth make Dyson rich in new opportunities. Join us as a graduate and from day one you’ll be expected to hit the ground running on one of Dyson’s many live projects, and the chance to have a meaningful impact on the evolution of Dyson technology.
Some of your responsibilities could include:
Provide manufacturing skills in:
Guide the RDD and Manufacturing Engineering teams in best practice regarding assembly and/or component manufacturing processes, specification and of techniques to achieve efficient high-volume manufacture
Work with RDD and Manufacturing Engineering teams to deliver cost efficient manufacturing processes, techniques and equipment whilst ensuring product quality and reliability targets are achieved
Work with contract manufacturing assembly and production providers to ensure solutions are optimised, reliable and meet specification and feedback lessons learnt from the production lines.
Support new product innovation and development and analysis of any failures during engineering and early manufacturing builds
Lead or participate in data driven risk analysis to enable informed review of manufacturing plans
Participate in continuous improvements in product manufacturability
Work in cross functional teams in the UK and SEA
