The future will be shaped by engineers. We need more women in engineering. At Dyson we are pleased to see positive progress. We've increased the representation of women on our Executive Committee by 37.5% over the past year. In the most recent cohort of the The Dyson Institute of Engineering and Technology, 41% identify as female, compared to a national average of 15.1% on engineering university courses. And for the last three years, the global James Dyson Award winners have been pioneering young women. To celebrate this year’s International Women in Engineering Day, we asked some of our female engineers to share their experiences in the industry.
Last week, Dyson attended the International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Philadelphia and provided further definition to our ambitions in advanced robotics. We are supercharging Robotics, recruiting 250 robotics engineers this year across disciplines including computer vision, machine learning, sensors and mechatronics. The plan: to create the UK's largest, most advanced, robotics centre at Hullavington Airfield, led by Dyson’s Chief Engineer Jake Dyson, and to bring the technology into our homes by the end of the decade.

Today, at the IEEE RAS ICRA in Philadelphia, Dyson gives a glimpse into the future of household robots for the first time. From manipulation and robot learning, to visual perception and compliant control… We are calling for the world’s brightest robotics engineers to join our rapidly growing teams. The master plan: to create the UK's largest, most advanced, robotics centre at Hullavington Airfield and to bring the technology into our homes by the end of the decade. Intrigued by what you see?
Humble beginnings. Global outlook. A story of invention. Driven by frustration with his old vacuum and a passion for problem solving, James Dyson invented the first bagless vacuum. No big companies wanted to buy his invention – selling vacuum bags was far too profitable. So James decided to set up his own company. He called it Dyson. Dyson is a global research and technology company with engineering, research, development, manufacturing and testing operations in Singapore, the UK, Malaysia and the Philippines. Having started in a coach house in the UK, Dyson has consistently grown since it was established in 1993. Learn more - careers.dyson.com/en-gb/who-we-are/
On 25 March, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, Prime Minister of Singapore, officially opened Dyson’s new global headquarters at St James Power Station. The restored 110,000 sq. ft national monument will sit at the centre of Dyson’s ambitions to enter entirely new fields of research, and develop a new generation of high-performing technology products with increasing inbuilt intelligence. James Dyson, Founder and Chairman at Dyson, said, “We are honoured to be the custodians of this cathedral-like building; its rich history and architectural heritage will serve as a most inspiring backdrop as we pursue revolutionary new technologies."

PROBLEM SOLVERS WANTED. Today Dyson launches our biggest ever global engineering recruitment drive, with 2,000 roles available. From electronics to connectivity, machine learning to software and more. We’re calling for the brightest and best minds to join us.
Our Hullavington campus opened in 2018 and is our second UK technology campus, located on a former Royal Air Force base. Just five miles from our Malmesbury offices, the 750-acre Hullavington Technology Campus is the backdrop to some of our most exciting future discoveries. With a nod to the past this campus boasts some of the most advanced research, design and development spaces in the world. The aircraft hangars have been meticulously restored to celebrate Hullavington’s aviation history. As far as possible, we choose to restore our office spaces, rather than build new ones, as #restoration uses less concrete and, as a result, emits far less CO2 than building new. The refreshed spaces house state-of-the-art laboratories, cafés and restaurants – as well as a former runway used for lunchtime jogs down the airstrip.
