About us
Being a pivotal role in the concept to production of a Dyson Designed Cell puts the Development team at the heart of this exciting journey. The Team will translate early concept directions into fully developed, optimised & validated solutions to make at high volume for the next generation of Dyson products.
About the role
Development of novel Cell technology comes with new and highly challenging manufacturing processes. This role encompasses processes required to progress technology established in research through to scaled manufacture. Being the junction point for the cell technology and the manufacturing requirements to deliver a solution to meet aspirations of both.
A successful candidate will deliver solutions to difficult object problems where design and development of novel cell manufacturing processes are required; along with proven track records working with cross functional teams from proof of concept to high volume manufacturing.
Reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager, the role will encompass Innovative Cell manufacturing process design, Inter-team co-ordination, Project management and Technical communications. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team and have the opportunity to develop capabilities across a range of materials processing, cell assembly
- Be the driver of novel process design ensuring the technical requirements are met for Form, Fit & Function from a process perspective – construct design requirements and develop to resolution to ensure a smooth transition to equipment & production teams
- Contribute to the development and optimisation of innovative new technologies that can be incorporated into clear manufacturing process and equipment needs to give a performance, cost, productivity or environmental advantage
- You will be the application subject matter expert and primary point of contact for the responsible processes, working alongside research and manufacturing teams. This will be enhanced through frequent and effective engagement & communication with the energy storage cross functional teams
- Conduct proof of concept evaluation and design of experiments during development, establish baseline process and metrics
- Characterise new and existing processes, establish process margins and controls for critical parameters to improve process robustness
- Play an active role in supporting the understanding of future Dyson cell requirements, working with the research teams to drive new specifications and further enhance the next generation of Dyson’s battery technology
- Support the design and operational management to identify balanced solutions and opportunities to meet overall project objectives
- Build relationships with internal departments, external regulators, industry bodies within Energy Storage
- Exhibit clear presentation of technical information and supporting documentation to ensure accurate hand over to cross functional teams
- Be vocal a participant, influencer and presence for Cell Process Development
- Challenge and develop Dyson engineering practices to continuously improve efficiency
- Excellent relationship building skills with the ability to build a network of connections both upstream and downstream within Dyson
- Ability to work sensitively, discretely, and effectively across Dyson.
