Research: Finding new solutions to everyday problems

The heart of Dyson – making things work differently and better. The research team constantly look for better methods, tools and approaches to improve every aspect of Dyson technology. From vacuum cleaners that don't lose suction to Dyson's new bladeless fans. Anyone in the team could find themselves presenting to James Dyson in the twice weekly research review.

Different stages in the Dyson product development lifecycle

Engineer profile:

Tim Bush

RDD Manager – Analysis

I joined Dyson in 2002 as an RDD Engineer. Since then I've provided analytical support across our whole product range, from motors to fans. I now run the group and have 14 like-minded people working with me, covering Fluid Dynamics, Acoustics and Structural Analysis.

The research team is largely made up of mechanical engineers, but there are also specialists in acoustics, fluid dynamics, electronics, chemistry and microbiology. Most team members joined Dyson as graduate engineers.

It's the hands-on approach at Dyson that makes it such a dynamic and exciting place to work. In my 3 years here I've worked on a huge variety of technical challenges. Unlike other engineering companies, the focus is on using your own ingenuity to solve a problem, not just following procedures.

Peter Young Senior Analysis Engineer

I'm surrounded by bright and inspiring people at Dyson, and I have the freedom to pursue my own ideas. There is an excellent balance of engineering and creativity.

Will Wakeling RDD Engineer

The most fascinating times at Dyson are the daily challenges of innovation. The constant search for new ways of doing things is what leads to new technologies like the bladeless fan.
