Graduate Design Engineer (New Product Innovation)

About the role

As a Graduate Design Engineer in NPI, you will be part of a large team responsible for imagining what Dyson should create next. Working at the front end of innovation, you will help uncover unmet consumer problems, challenge convention, explore emerging technologies and turn bold, brave ideas into breakthrough product concepts that could shape the future of Dyson.

This role is designed to develop the next generation of Dyson innovators through a structured rotational programme. Over two years, you will complete four 6-month rotations across different NPI teams and categories, gaining experience in invention, concept generation, rapid prototyping, experimentation and early-stage product development before progressing into a long-term career within the function.

As a Graduate Design Engineer in NPI, you will:

• Generate and develop bold product concepts, features and technology ideas that challenge what consumers expect from Dyson categories.

• Use consumer insight, market signals and technology opportunities to spot problems worth solving and inspire future invention.

• Work alongside experienced engineers, designers and technical specialists to create novel solutions to difficult, ambiguous and high-value problems.

• Identify unmet consumer needs and emerging opportunities that could unlock the next generation of Dyson products.

• Build functional, physical and digital prototypes that make ideas tangible, testable and real.

• Explore concepts through experimentation, testing, iteration and fast learning — proving, improving or killing ideas with pace.

• Bring fresh thinking, curiosity and creative energy to ideation workshops, innovation sprints and concept reviews.

• Build visual, physical and digital representations of ideas to communicate concepts effectively.

• Present concepts, evidence and learnings to senior stakeholders, helping shape which opportunities Dyson should pursue next.

• Develop the technical, creative and commercial judgement needed to turn brave ideas into credible future product opportunities.

• Rotate across four different NPI teams over a 24-month programme, building a broad understanding of how Dyson creates, tests and develops breakthrough ideas across multiple product categories.
