Our scale and rapid growth make Dyson rich in new opportunities. We value new ideas and diverse perspectives, so our people are trusted with real work and responsibility from the outset.  You’ll develop fast and have the chance to move into different business areas and regions.  And you’ll be part of a global network of curious people – a community that supports and learns from each other.

About the role

We push the boundaries of what others have defined as possible.  Our engineering approach starts with different thinking.  Then we continuously refine our ideas – unwilling to compromise and motivated by finding a better way. Today we employ more than 5,800 people around the world in software engineering, mechanical engineering and science-related roles.

You will be working in either our Floor Care, Environment Care, or Hair Care Acoustics teams. We use advanced experimental, analytical, and simulation techniques to ensure the best noise and vibration performance of our products.
