Lead Technical Designer

Dyson isseekinga highly skilled and forward-thinking Technical Designer to play a pivotal role within the Global Retail Design & Experience team. This role sits at the intersection of design,engineering and manufacturing, ensuring that innovative retail concepts are translated into technically robust, commerciallyviableand scalable solutions.

Working in close partnership with retail designers from the earliest stages of concept creation, the Technical Designerprovidestechnical guidance that helps shape design direction without constraining creativity. The role is critical in enabling rapid exploration ofnew ideas, materials and approaches whilemaintainingfeasibility and performance.

Beyond concept phases, the roleis responsible forthe development of new fixtures and physical retail elements. This includes producing detailed technical drawings,specifications and supplier briefs, as well as reviewing supplier outputs to ensure design intent is maintained, solutions are right-sized, and cost and engineering complexity are appropriately controlled.

Working cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Supply Chain and external partners, the Technical Designer helps ensure consistent, high-quality delivery across Dyson’s global retail environments.
