From Fluid Dynamics to Filtration Innovation

When I joined Dyson as a Graduate Fluid Dynamics Engineer, I was eager to learn and contribute. Today, I’m proud to hold the role of Senior Technology Systems Engineer, specialising in filtration technology. My journey from an intern, to a fresh graduate, to an experienced engineer has been both challenging and fulfilling. It is marked by countless opportunities to grow, take on new responsibilities, and deliver meaningful results.

Early on, my role was about absorbing knowledge from my peers, learning the ropes, and understanding the technical aspects of fluid dynamics. Now, I’m trusted with overseeing filtration performance for Dyson’s products, ensuring that our machines meet their specifications and deliver the quality our customers expect. It’s a responsibility that’s both exciting and demanding, as it involves not only technical execution but also building trust through collaboration and evidence-based decision-making.

One pivotal moment in my career was when I transitioned from Fluid Dynamics to Filtration Engineering. With little experience in the field, I stepped into the role with determination and a willingness to learn. That challenge turned into a significant milestone in my career, expanding my technical knowledge and reinforcing my belief in the power of adaptability and a growth mindset.

A recent achievement that I’m particularly proud of was initiating a process improvement that created significant savings in testing costs. By refining how we manage testing samples, we maintained our high standards while reducing expenses. This success showed me that even small changes can make a big difference and encouraged me to keep looking for ways to improve processes across the board.

At Dyson, I’ve developed both technical and interpersonal skills. I’ve honed my expertise in CAD, data analysis, and prototyping, but I’ve also become a better communicator, learning to collaborate across teams and embrace diverse perspectives. Dyson’s commitment to continuous learning has been crucial to my growth, providing access to resources like LinkedIn Learning, which has helped me develop both professionally and personally.

To succeed at Dyson, embrace challenges with confidence, stay curious, and never stop learning. It’s a place where growth thrives through innovation and collaboration—where you can make a real impact.
