Manufacturing Engineering Intern

About us

Our Manufacturing Engineering department supports Dyson’s engineers worldwide, turning ideas into ground-breaking technology. Involved early in the design stage, we identify materials, pre-empt production issues and find ways to build more efficiently, yet robustly. From designing the machines, to the machines that build the machines, we’re helping to shape the future of technology.

Join us as an intern and from day one you’ll be assigned to a live project with the chance to have a meaningful impact on the evolution of Dyson technology.

About the role

As an intern, you’ll be learning from industry experts and gaining invaluable exposure to the inner workings of Dyson. You’ll be expected to hit the ground running on one of Dyson’s many live projects, demonstrating your technical skills and contributing to your team, whilst developing your knowledge of Dyson and our technology. Working as part of a larger project team, you’ll have your own set of project deliverables and the chance to take ownership of how these are achieved. 

Some of your tasks could include:

• Guide and work with Research, Design and Development and Manufacturing Engineering teams to deliver best practice regarding assembly and/or component manufacturing processes, in the most cost efficient way whilst ensuring product quality and reliability targets are achieved

• Work with contract manufacturing assembly and production providers

• Lead or participate in data driven risk analysis to enable informed review of manufacturing plans

• Develop, prepare and review reports and studies to identify and recommend engineering solutions

• Test and assess the reliability and robustness of machine of tester

• Work with global cross functional teams to analyze, troubleshoot and fix issues discovered 

Working with engineers and scientists/technical experts across a broad range of disciplines, you’ll be comfortable learning from others, but also sharing your own knowledge, ideas and opinions. We’ll support you with a development framework designed to help you make the most of your internship.
