    About us

    Dyson offers a unique opportunity for a motivated and dynamic Senior Research Scientist (Modelling Engineer) in the Energy Storage team within Dysons Research, Design and Development (RDD) department.

    Dyson products strive to be at the leading edge of technology. Through unique strategic partnerships with global top universities and leading businesses, we gain foresight of up-and-coming technologies. The technical research team aims to exploit this knowledge to design state-of-the-art products allowing us to differentiate our products from the competition.

    Dyson is expanding into several new and exciting product categories and is positioning itself as a technology company. Successful applicants for this role will form a critical part of the team driving these products and others forward.

    Dyson has state-of-the-art R&D laboratory facilities to support the development and testing of novel battery designs. Continued expansion of our activities has created an exciting opportunity within the team for an individual who is keen to get hands on with the development of the next generation of batteries.

    About the role

    You will join a team of electrochemists, mechanical, electronic, and modelling engineers in Dysons Energy Storage Research group. Your focus will be on the development of models capable of accurately simulating Dysons novel cell designs. In this role, you will have the opportunity to influence Dysons cell design strategy. You will:

    • Gain a clear understanding of Dysons Energy storage requirements and apply your knowledge to develop custom cells, enabling the next generation of our products.
    • Use a combination of practical experience, modelling and theoretical knowledge to optimise cell design and prototyping.
    • Work with a team that scales electrode designs from small scale batches to prototype cells. Use your understanding of material science and electrochemical characterisation to analyse experimental data, which can be fed into the model.
    • Responsible of developing robust mathematical models capable of predicting complex cell behaviours which capture electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical mechanism.
    • Collaborate with Energy Storage and Product teams through the phases of creation, development, validation, and optimisation of these multiphysics-based cell models.

    About you

    • Masters or PhD/EngD level degree in a physical science or engineering discipline relevant to electrochemical cell research and development.
    • Track record in the development of models used for simulating lithium-ion cell performance.
    • Comprehensive understanding of critical battery materials, including key trends and developments.
    • Ability to use MATLAB/Python for data-processing automation.
    • Experience of modelling cell performance from fundamental electrode/material properties using dedicated software such as Ansys, COMSOL, etc.

    Desirable experience:

    • Relevant industrial experience.
    • Robust knowledge of material and electrode characterisation, including particle size distribution, SEM, BET, DSC/TGA, XRD, porosimetry, ionic and electronic conductivity analysis and electrode expansion.
    • Experience of failure mode analysis of cells and the constituent components.

    Essential behavioural skills:

    • Excellent analytical ability and attention to detail.
    • Ability to communicate appropriate, concise, and accurate information in written and verbal format.
    • To be able to multi-task and plan effectively when working with a variety of project teams in an often high-pressure, competitive environment in an organised manner.
    • Ability to identify and solve problems independently.
    • Excellent time management skills and ability to prioritise tasks.
    • Excellent team working skills, including working across teams.

    Benefits

    Dyson Singapore monitors the market to ensure competitive salaries and bonuses. Beyond that, youll enjoy a transport allowance and comprehensive medical care and insurance. But financial benefits are just the start of a Dyson career. Professional growth, leadership development and new opportunities abound, driven by regular reviews and dynamic workshops. And with a vibrant culture, the latest devices and a relaxed dress code reflecting our engineering spirit, its an exciting team environment geared to fuelling and realising ambition. #LI-LI
