We challenge convention to create market-leading products that are different and better, continuously refining ideas from concept through to mass production. Within our world-class Research, Design and Development (RDD) department, we identify and develop new technologies, working closely with NPI teams and technical specialists to integrate them into future products for global markets. We foster a culture of creativity, collaboration and bold thinking, where individuals are encouraged to challenge ideas, learn from mistakes and pursue better solutions.\nAbout the role\nWe are seeking a SeniorAerodynamicEngineer to lead theaerodynamicdevelopment of next-generation Dyson Digital Motors. In this role, high-fidelity simulation and detailed flow-field analysis (CFD) are your primary tools to drive innovative, simulation-led design from concept to real product. You will shape aerodynamic performance from the very first stages,ensuring we make fast, confident, and informed design decisions.\nYou’lltake ownership of identifying, evaluating, and advancing new aerodynamic opportunities,both through internal research and by partnering with top academic institutions. As part of a small, highly specialised aero-acoustic-thermal team, deep technicalexpertise, technical curiosity, and a proactive, solution-focused mindset are essential.\nYou’llpush the limits of virtual analysis and compressor design, reducing development risk and timeline by ensuring early-stage simulation is robust,accurate, and actionable. Then, as designs mature, you will champion experimental validation,applying and developing advanced measurement techniques at ultra-small scales. Ensuring close alignment between simulation and real-world physics is critical to achieving Dyson’s uncompromising performance standards.\nThis role is made for someone who thrives on engineering depth, enjoys solving complex, multi-physics problems, and is determined to set new standards inaerodynamicperformance and motor design.\nKey responsibilities:\nLeadaerodynamicsdesign and analysis of next-generation Dyson Digital Motors, using high-fidelity CFD and advanced modelling techniques to drive performance improvements from concept through to development.\n\nDesign and optimiseaero systemacross both early concept and detailed development stages, with a strong focus on system integration and overall product performance.\n\nIdentifyand develop innovative aerodynamic andaeroacousticsolutions, applying first-principles thinking and advanced analytical(Ansys CFD,PowerFlow, DNS, etc)and experimentalmethodsto solve complex, multi-physics challenges.\n\nTranslate research into practical engineering solutions, bridging the gap between early-stage discovery and product delivery to enable robust and scalable motor technologies.\n\nOwn simulation-led design workflows, ensuring robust,accurate, and efficient virtual analysis that informs early-stage decision-making and reduces development risk and timelines.\n\nDevelop, refine, and champion advanced experimental techniques, ensuringaccuratecapture of flow physics and acoustic behaviour at ultra-small scales.\n\nAnalyse and interpret experimental and simulation data, translating findings into clear insights and actionable recommendations for engineering teams and senior stakeholders.\n\nSupport technology transfer into product development, working closely with delivery teams to ensure robust, scalable implementation of research outcomes.\n\nMentor and support junior engineers, sharingexpertise, promoting best practices, and contributing to the growth ofaerodynamic and aeroacousticscapability within the team.\n\nAbout you\nTechnical\nA degree (or higher) in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.\n\nStrong grounding in aerodynamics(turbomachinery), aeroacoustics, and thermodynamics, with the ability to apply first-principles thinking to complex, multi-physics engineering problems.\n\nProven experience in turbomachinery design and analysis, using industry-standard tools (e.g. Concepts NREC, ADT, NUMECA, ANSYS CFX/Fluent,PowerFLOWor equivalent).\n\nDemonstratedexpertisein simulation-led design, including the application of high-fidelity CFD to inform early-stage decision-making and design optimisation.\n\nStrong capability in experimental methods, including pressure, temperature, and flow measurements, with experience in designing, executing, and leading rigorous experimental investigations.\n\nAbility to correlate simulation and experimental data, ensuringaccuraterepresentation of physical behaviour and driving continuous improvement in modelling approaches.\n\nBehavioural\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills, with high attention to detail and the ability to navigate complex engineering challenges.\n\nEffective collaborator, able to work seamlessly within multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated engineering solutions.\n\nClear and confident communicator, capable of conveying complex technical information in a concise and structured manner to both technicalpeersand senior stakeholders.\n\nProactive and innovation-driven mindset, with the ability to generate and implement creative solutions aligned with Dyson’s engineering principles.\n\nAdaptable and resilient, comfortable operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with evolving priorities.\n\nStrong planning and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and deliver high-quality outputs under pressure.\n\nDemonstrated initiative and ownership, with a willingness to contribute tonew technologyareas or product categories whenrequired.\n\nExperience in mentoring and developing engineers, particularly in best practices for simulation, experimentation, and turbomachinery design, is highly desirable.\n\nBenefits\nAt Dyson, Reward goes beyond just salary and bonuses. Through a comprehensive package of Financial, Lifestyle, and Health Benefits, we provide support tailored to every stage of life and the moments that matter most.\nWorking policy\nAt Dyson, our vibrant campus culture is built on in-person collaboration, creativity, and shared learning. Working side by side not only fuels our innovation, but also creates a strong sense of belonging. To nurture this dynamic and inclusive environment, we do not offer a regular hybrid working arrangement.\n#LI-RK2\nDyson is an equal opportunity employer.
