About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Electrical design Engineer to join our Team working at the forefront of designing new Dyson products. In this role you will be responsible for designing and building electrical prototypes and test rigs for all our product lines, so hair care, floorcare and environmental care. You will spend most of your time working on a brand-new category for Dyson, working on fresh concepts. This is an exiting role working right at the forefront of our new product in an upstream environment
In this role you will be responsible for the specification, design, build and documentation of the electrical aspects of custom test rigs which will be utilised for a variety of research experiments.
This position is part of an upstream research team tasked with exploring new technology opportunities. Their objective is to develop and apply fundamental understanding by conducting hands-on investigative research. If successful you will be responsible for supporting this team as the Senior Electrical Engineer, providing expert knowledge and hands-on practical input in the design, construction, and documentation of electrical hardware to suit a wide range of experiments. This hardware will range from basic breadboard rigs through to larger, bespoke, test rigs.
The successful candidate will need to work closely with other members of the Research Department to understand and support future test and project requirements. Your role will include working with a range of electrical systems (low and high voltage) as well as battery operated circuits. To achieve this, it’s essential you have knowledge and experience developing these types of systems and the regulations that control their safe construction and use.
