About us
At Dyson we are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes.
We’re creative, collaborative, practical and enthusiastic, but most of all we’re hugely passionate about
what we do. We are looking for individuals who wish to invent, design and develop leading products for the
global market. By working in our world class Research Design and Development department, these
individuals have the opportunity to work alongside other leading technical specialists and highly motivated
creative people, to develop products which fulfil our ambition of being truly different and better than our
competitors.
About the role

The Motor Drives and Advanced Control (MDAC) team is part of Dyson’s Global Hardware organisation
and brings together deep, specialist knowledge and skillsets to design and develop control algorithms and
electromagnetic designs for use across a wide range of Dyson products.
This is a global team with over 70 engineers based in the UK, Singapore, Malaysia and the
Philippines. Examples of the work of MDAC include the electromagnetic and control system design of
the Dyson Digital Motor (DDM), wide-ranging motion control schemes utilising commercial motors, heater
control schemes and more specialist control systems and algorithms such as power control, battery pack
state of charge and state of health. The team works from early development through to the production of
our designs.
• You will provide support through design, development and production phases of projects to help
ensure that the DDM and/or product performance, reliability and cost expectations are met, all
within the planned timeline of the project.
• Be responsible for system characterisation and analysis such as hardware validation, control
system validation, thermal mapping and user interaction. A large focus will be the development
and analysis of the DDM control scheme and associated power systems.
• Complete analysis of production data, particularly from trial builds from motor and product
manufacturing facilities to identify drift, issues, non-compliance and opportunities for process
improvement and optimisation.
• Work with the Dyson Operation teams to be responsible for aspects of design, commissioning
and troubleshooting of complex production end of line test, tune, product calibration systems and
functional testers as required by any new motor or product projects.
• Work with contract suppliers on Design for Manufacture and the correct supply of assemblies such
as PCBAs during the development phases of projects ensuring that parts are delivered on time and
to specification.
• Work with the test and validation teams in our facilities globally to develop test methods and ensure
the correct operation of test equipment to ensure the accuracy and validity of testing.
• Responsible for Motor Drives aspects of FRACAS: completing root cause analysis of any failures of
the motor or associated drive and control system at both product and motor level.
• Generate high-quality test reports and other documentation with all data and findings from all
work undertaken.
• Assist, or lead where required, other engineers within the team with the creation and review of
documents such as design schematics, design notes, FMEA, failure analysis reports, technical
review documents and part approval to ensure formal change management processes are
adhered to and the lessons learned from manufacturing are captured.
About you
• A good first degree in electrical/electronic engineering or equivalent, preferably with power
electronics, machines, drives or control systems bias.
• Design knowledge, formal training and experience in a range of aspects of electronics including
some of: power electronics, motor control, battery management, analogue, digital and sensing
technologies.
• Proficient in modelling and simulation of power electronics circuits and motor control using
Matlab/Simulink and SPICE tools.
• Working knowledge of schematic capture, PCB layout and associated software.
• Working knowledge of programming in either C, Matlab scripts, Python, or code generation tools
such as embedded coder.
• Working knowledge of the fundamentals of basic electromagnetic machine operation particularly
single and multi-phase permanent magnet motors.
• An appreciation of motor control techniques for low and high speed, single-phase and multi-phase
permanent magnet motors.
• Strong technical analysis skills and an ability to use standard laboratory equipment to set up
experiments and to take precise measurements of motors and mains-referenced control systems to
aid performance analysis, fault-finding and completion of GR&R testing.
• Strong statistical analysis skills to be able to gather data from multiple sources, including your own
testing, to calculate such things as trends, drifts and probabilities to identify performance against
specification or to show where things are starting to go wrong.
• Strong communication and team working skills to be able to form a bridge between multiple teams
of different disciplines working on a single, integrated product across multiple global sites.
• Be flexible and open-minded to respond quickly to changes in project priorities. Be able to
demonstrate sound theoretical knowledge, reasoning and problem solving skills in engineering.
• Proficiency in spoken and written English is mandatory.
• Experience with Design for Manufacture of power electronic or motor control systems for high-
volume manufacture with associated validation to ensure a robust and reliable design taking all
system tolerances into account.
• Experience with high-volume manufacturing environments and on-line measurement of system
performance.
• Proficient use of data analysis tools such as Minitab.
• Formal Six Sigma or Lean Six Sigma qualification.
• Be proficient in the use of LabView to be able to maintain existing and create new programs.
Benefits
Dyson Singapore monitors the market to ensure competitive salaries and pension contributions. Beyond
that, you’ll also enjoy a profit-related bonus, generous leave and life insurance. However, financial benefits
are only the start of a Dyson career. Rapid professional growth, leadership development and new
opportunities abound.
