Job Description

Purpose of role

Dyson solves the problems others choose to ignore, developing disruptive technologies requiring even more complex electronics to deliver an increasing product portfolio. We are driven by problem-solving, cutting-edge engineering, and a commitment to delivering high-performance products that redefine user experiences.

As a Lead Electronics Engineer, you will play a critical role in the design, development, and integration of embedded systems and advanced sensing technologies that power Dyson’s next-generation products.

You will lead the development of robust firmware and sensor solutions, working cross-functionally with electronics, mechanical, algorithm, and product teams. This role combines deep technical expertise with leadership responsibility, ensuring delivery of high-quality, scalable, and innovative solutions.

The role will require a highly motivated, creative, methodical, and flexible person, ready to take on challenges with a pragmatic approach. You will lead a team of Electronics Engineers in development projects and provide supervision and mentoring to juniors, graduates and new team members.

Accountabilities

• Lead the design and development of embedded firmware for real-time systems in consumer products
• Define system architectures for sensor integration, signal processing, and control systems
• Drive design reviews, technical strategy, and best practices across embedded platforms
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a strong engineering culture
• Develop low-level drivers, middleware, and application-layer firmware
• Work with RTOS or bare-metal systems for high-performance, reliable operation
• Optimize system performance including power consumption, latency, and memory use
• Ensure firmware robustness through testing, debugging, and validation
• Design and integrate sensor solutions (e.g., environmental, optical, acoustic, inertial, or pressure sensors)
• Develop calibration, filtering, and sensor fusion algorithms
• Collaborate with hardware teams to select and validate sensor components
• Analyze sensor data to improve product performance and user experience
• Work closely with data scientists and algorithm engineers on sensing strategies

Qualifications Skills

As a Lead Electronics Engineer, you will be an experienced design engineer and capable of working unsupervised to deliver high quality design solutions. Preferably you will have experience of the whole product development lifecycle, from initial concept through to mass production and product sustainability.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 8+ years of experience in embedded systems development
• Experience leading engineering teams or technical projects
• Good understanding schematics, datasheets, and hardware interfaces
• Able to validate pin mappings, power-up sequences, clocks, communication lines
• Experience in sensor integration and data processing
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems
• Experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, etc.) and embedded platforms
• Experience with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS) or real-time systems
• Experience with communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, BLE
• Knowledge of signal processing, filtering, and sensor fusion techniques
• Debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab tools
• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
• Effective communication and stakeholder management
• Ability to drive decisions in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Passion for innovation and product excellence
