Involved in all areas of the design process we go through at Dyson on a wide range of the products we offer, some are starting to come into production but most are still in the pipeline. I then moved to our secretive Innovations department where we cultivate and incubate ideas for new Dyson products. NPI Role:Running my own Dyson projects due for release in 2015 and onwards and assume all management and design responsibilities. I implement a bespoke and efficient design process defined by the critical path of my project. I am responsible for creating the framework for vision specifications and technical objectives. I create the material required for project strategy meetings with James Dyson and the board. I push development of a concept, proving feasibility, creating working prototypes and visual models and presenting options for the strongest designs. I am responsible for time management and deadline deliverables, mentoring Graduate Design Engineers and consult fellow Design Engineers and Seniors on the detailed principles of our technologies I learned in NPD. Detailed knowledge of the design process having been through the complete cycle at Dyson from conception, evaluation and human factors to execution of production. Built on existing knowledge of manufacturing processes including tooling and plastic injection moulding developed visiting factories in the far east, and ensure my designs are realistic for production.

At Dyson, I have been exposed to all aspects of design from concept generation, through to the final transfer to our South East Asia site for Start of Production. During this process I have been in close contact with influential figures at Dyson including James himself, and have taken ownership of a key assembly that has required me not only to engage with engineering techniques but also understand the core technologies at Dyson and learn principles unfamiliar to me like fluid dynamics and acoustics. I have been responsible for brainstorming and generating concepts, blocking out and selecting schemes, numerous validation cycles throughout to prove my assembly works, numerous iterations of development to meet technical and design specs, fine tune part splits, challenge the space envelope and ensure all parts are fully toolable. On sending projects to S.E.Asia, each part is fully toolable, materials, colours and finishes selected, there is a detailed understanding of the tolerance variations, all parts tested at limits, detailed cost breakdown and manufacturing techniques are finalised, down to assembly line configuration and jigs designed. All documentation including part and assembly drawings to BS8888 spec and tolerance stack drawings completed.Working at Dyson has filled in some of the gaps in my experience of the process towards production.
