Acoustics & Vibration Engineer

About the role

Dyson is seeking an Acoustics Engineer to join its Technology Systems Engineering team in China. The role focuses on delivering superior acoustic and vibration performance across product development cycles, applying Dyson’s innovative methodologies.

Key responsibilities

• Own the development and delivery of acoustic and vibration performance throughout product development cycles.
• Define, capture, and manage acoustics requirements and validation strategies.
• Apply Dyson engineering best practices to deliver solutions on time, on specification, on cost, and on quality.
• Develop and implement experimental and simulation‑based approaches, including testing, FEA/CFD, and system modelling.
• Diagnose and resolve acoustic and vibration issues using signal analysis, noise source identification, and transfer path analysis.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks early to ensure robust delivery.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to integrate acoustic solutions into product designs.
• Communicate findings through data‑driven insights and technical reviews.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of tools, methodologies, and engineering practices.

Required profile

• Degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Mechatronics engineering or a related field.
• Proven product development experience with a strong analytical focus.
• Solid understanding of mechanical systems and failure analysis.
• Experience in signal processing and vibration analysis (FFT, FRF, spectrogram, waterfall).
• Familiarity with acoustics techniques such as TPA, ODS, noise localisation, and psychoacoustics.
• Experience with simulation tools (FEA, CFD, system modelling) and statistical methods or Six Sigma is preferred.
• Demonstrated drive, enthusiasm, self‑motivation, and a proactive problem‑solving approach.
