Lead Product Performance Engineer

At Dyson we’re obsessed with continuously making things better, pushing the boundaries of what others have defined as impossible. We do this by making products that solve real world problems using both novel technologies and established technologies, in new and innovative ways. Integrating these technologies into a product and ensuring that we are delivering market leading performance to our customers is a challenging job, and one that takes specialist skills. That’s where the Technology Development team comes in. 

About the role 

Working as part of a small team you will be responsible for the product performance. You will be working alongside the design engineering and other functional teams to establish in depth understanding, identify key factors and optimize product performance to ensure that our technologies are up to meeting their ambitious targets. You will use a mixture of simulation, test and engineering judgement to solve the problems that arise as we develop our technologies and products. You will require to work alongside your UK counterparts to get in touch with state of art technologies, picking the projects up from an early design stage and take them through to production. 

• Able to establish an excellent understanding of the product requirements and deliver top-level product performance metrics on a full product complexity project with multiple attachments. 

• Resolve complex problems either through established approaches or by defining new ones. Develop a good understanding of failure mechanisms, identify potential underlying root causes with appropriate methodology, and design experiments to foolproof the solutions.

• Able to assess multiple viewpoints independently and determine the technical direction for projects or specialist areas. Requires excellent system thinking to optimize and balance product performance, creating a user-centric product. 

• Plan and prioritize tasks to drive coherent requirement definitions, ensuring consistent development of performance throughout the product development. 

• Drive data analysis, ensure robust test methodology, and provide conclusive proposals for timely delivery of solutions and verification reports. 

• Actively inform all stakeholders about the progress and status of allocated projects.
