About us
The Motor Test Systems Team is responsible for delivering the unmanned testing capability, test equipment, and laboratory infrastructure that support the Dyson Digital Motor research teams in the UK. The team develops, operates, and maintains automated test systems used to verify motor performance, reliability, durability, and compliance with engineering requirements.
In addition to executing verification activities, the team develops and maintains specialist test equipment, automated test software, and laboratory facilities while providing technical support to multidisciplinary engineering teams.
About the role
This position is ideally suited to an early-career engineer who enjoys solving practical engineering problems and wants broad exposure to electronics, software, mechanical design, testing, and automation rather than specialising in a single discipline from day one.
The successful candidate will gain hands-on experience across multiple engineering disciplines while supporting the development and verification of Dyson's advanced motor technologies. The role offers opportunities to work on automated test systems, software development, data acquisition, reliability testing, equipment design, root cause analysis, and laboratory support activities.
Training and mentoring will be provided to support the development of specialist skills in areas such as LabVIEW, TestStand, CAD, automated testing, and motor verification.
Key Responsibilities
Verification & Testing
- Plan, execute, and monitor motor and power system verification activities.
- Develop, maintain, and improve verification procedures and test methods.
- Manage verification activities and test schedules to support project delivery.
- Produce clear and accurate verification reports to support design reviews and engineering decision-making.
- Ensure high-quality, traceable, and repeatable test execution.
Test Equipment Development
- Design, build, and commission test rigs, fixtures, instrumentation systems, and test enclosures.
- Develop practical engineering solutions to improve test capability and laboratory efficiency.
- Produce supporting engineering documentation, including test procedures, schematics, and operating instructions.
- Support continuous improvement of verification equipment and test capabilities.
