The SEA Materials in Technology Development Department is responsible to ensure that all specifications of Dyson applied parts, including but not limited to Safety Critical Components and Sustainability Materials, are correctly met, and produced. We provide materials selection guidance (sourcing, material specification verification and manufacturing support) for all project teams. We ensure consistent use of materials for specific applications. We also drive initiatives for new materials, to provide solutions where material choice is a significant factor. We always work closely with Material Compliance team, product safety engineers and other inter-department such as Category, Research Design Development (RDD), Color Materials & Finishes Design (CMF), Tooling, Supplier Quality, Operations and Procurement to ensure the materials readiness are meeting all projects' requirements.
Main Duties/Responsibilities:
To support the Materials specification development activities in various steps of product design cycles, the following are expected:
Have solid understanding and high level of knowledge in Plastics Part Development and plastics performance requirements/verification for Dyson products. Work with cross-functional team of new product development X-projects (mainly consists of RDD/Tooling/Test) to provide material selection solutions to Project teams in accordance with the Part requirements (PRS) and resin readiness deliverables within the agreed timeframe. Understand Plastics manufacturing process, injection moulding process and their potential quality concerns with these processes, thus able to provide material related technical advice to Part design owners and moulders, to produce parts meeting cosmetic appearance requirements as well as part technical requirements such as part robustness and dimension. Enhance the material analysis and testing capability by conducting a material study project on a specific subject. Coordinate with CMF team and resin manufacturers, to support colour plaques review and sign-off activities. Have good ability of interpreting technical data sheets (TDS) & technical data related to Plastics materials properties and its associated processing conditions and requirements, to facilitate resin mould trial to produce resin part production trial and colour-off procedure. Contribute to evaluation and assessment of the moulders capability to follow the Plastic material TDS and all injection moulding's quality control requirements. Have developed solid understanding of Plastics material overall performance and their international properties testing method and standards, primarily the UL 94 standards. Self-motivate to lead the material specification development works for the X-projects To carry out other related tasks which may be given in addition to the above main tasks. Qualification & Technical Requirements:
