Dyson is a global technology enterprise. We solve the problems others choose to ignore, with surprising new inventions that defy convention and simply work better. We’re driven by progress and enjoy the opportunity to continuously improve what we do. We’re growing fast and our aspirations are huge – more categories, more locations and more people.
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.
Power Systems is a global team part of the wider Dyson RDD (Research, Design and Development) department that designs and develops Dyson’s internal technologies that enable most of our products. The Power Systems team has experts in a wide range of areas (mechanical, electrical, software, project management) and is responsible for the development from early stages through to production of Dyson’s internal technologies.
The Mechanical Engineering & Engineering Analysis team within Power Systems is responsible for:
Mechanical design, 3D CAD modelling, building and testing prototypes to deliver robust design solutions.
Performance, simulation, analysis, and experimental verification of each technology project.
The Mechanical Engineering & Engineering Analysis team consists of experts in a variety of specialisms: mechanical engineering, mechanical design, turbomachinery, thermodynamics, acoustics, vibrations, rotor dynamics, fluid dynamics, structural analysis, and data analysis.
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineering & Engineering Analysis Intern to work in Power Systems to apply and learn their skills and gain experience in Mechanical Design, 3D CAD Modelling, Structural Dynamics/Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to deliver our next generation of Dyson internally developed technologies and their integration in consumer products.
Our high-performance Dyson Hyperdymium motors are a perfect example of the world-class technology that you might be working on: high-performance motors spinning above 120,000rpm that repeatedly set new benchmarks for the industry with each launch.
For the duration of your internship, you will have regular performance conversations as well as opportunities for development to enable you to build your reputation within the wider team and we’ll be looking to offer our high performing interns the opportunity to return on our graduate programme.
Some of your tasks could include:
Contributing to the generation of concepts for new technologies by relying on core Mechanical Engineering principles, 3D CAD Modelling, FEA, analytical techniques and experiments in our labs.
Working alongside industry experts to develop assembly and measurement processes compatible with the highly automated production lines and strict dimensional requirements of all our technology projects.
Working alongside industry experts on thermal management, structural robustness, rotor dynamics of the technology through design, development, and delivery.
Actively seeking collaboration with internal team members in Power Systems as well as external team members in the wider Dyson RDD (Research, Design and Development) department.
Please note
This role is based in Malmesbury, UK and the start date is 21st August 2023 (placements) 26th June (Summer interns)
A cover letter is not required
You will be contributing to the delivery of the next generation of Dyson technology, so you will need to be:
Working towards a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Aeronautical Engineering or equivalent (other relevant engineering disciplines will be considered).
Experience in using 3D CAD modelling and simulation analysis software such as ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus, Matlab would be advantageous, but not essential.
Able to evidence how you have applied your technical knowledge to solve problems, either through your university projects or as part of your extra-curricular activities.
A curious individual with an underlying interest in how things work, or why they fail.
A clear logical thinker with exceptional attention to detail.
A creative problem solver with the ability to multitask in a rapidly changing environment.
Happy to build your own networks to learn from the technical expertise around you.
Passionate about Dyson and our technology to help us meet our ambitious plans for the future.
Above all, you will want to play a key part in bringing the next generation of Dyson technology to the world.
