Lead Electronics Engineer - Sensor/Vision
Dyson · Singapore
Role Summary
As Lead Electronics Engineer – Sensors / Vision, you will provide technical leadership in the development of advanced sensing technologies, sensing platforms and associated algorithms for Dyson products. The role focuses on Vision Systems, camera integration, LiDAR, ToF, Air Quality sensing, position and displacement sensor and other sensing technologies that enable intelligent product features across multiple categories.
About the Role
The Lead Electronics Engineer – Sensors / Vision will be part of the SEA Hardware Electronics team and will work across R&D programmes to develop, integrate and mature sensing systems for Dyson products. This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring strong engineering judgement, system-level thinking and the ability to collaborate effectively with internal teams and external technology partners. You will help define sensing solutions from early concept through to validation, product integration and production readiness.
- Lead the development and delivery of sensing technology platforms for Vision Systems, LiDAR, Air Quality sensing, position and displacement sensor and other sensing technologies across Dyson product categories.
- Translate product and system requirements into clear sensing architectures, technical requirements, data collection plans and validation approaches.
- Define, develop and validate sensing algorithms, including data collection, data analysis, signal conditioning, signal processing, algorithm tuning and performance assessment using Matlab or Python where appropriate.
- Collaborate with Hardware, Software, Mechanical, Test, Manufacturing, Product and Quality teams to integrate sensing systems into Dyson products and ensure product requirements are met.
- Provide technical leadership from proof of concept through development, verification, validation and production readiness.
- Engage key suppliers and technology partners to evaluate sensing technologies, influence supplier roadmaps and identify scalable hardware platforms suitable for Dyson products.
- Prepare clear technical documentation, design review materials, analysis reports and recommendations to support decision making across projects.
What You’ll Achieve in Your First Year
- Establish a clear understanding of the current Vision System, LiDAR, Air Quality technology landscape, supplier ecosystem and Dyson product needs.
- Work with cross-functional teams to develop and integrate robust sensing solutions into Dyson products, balancing performance, cost, manufacturability and product requirements.
- Work with product owners and engineering stakeholders to capture sensing requirements, define data collection needs, and select appropriate sensing technologies and algorithms.
- Develop, tune and validate sensing algorithms using simulation and measured data, Matlab or Python analysis, and appropriate signal processing methods.
- Provide technical coaching and mentoring to engineers, helping to build capability in sensing hardware, data analysis, signal processing and algorithm development.
About You
You are an experienced sensing or electronics engineer with strong technical depth, practical product development experience and the confidence to lead complex technical work.
