Dyson has announced plans for 200 new research roles on its Wiltshire Campus.

The expansion is part of the company's £2.75 billion global investment plan, first announced in November 2020, to deepen research into advanced robotics and artificial intelligence.

The new research-focused roles will be based on Dyson’s UK Innovation Campus, which is one of the largest R&D hubs in Britain.

Spread across two locations, at Malmesbury and Hullavington, it spans over 800 acres and is a base for 4,000 people, representing 59 nationalities, the majority of whom are engineers and scientists.

James Dyson, founder and chief engineer, said: "We are growing our research team at our UK Innovation Campus in Wiltshire to achieve radical leaps in the performance of our machines – underpinned by technologies such as solid-state batteries and robotics. The recruits will join a very broad team, from our Dyson Undergraduates at the Dyson Institute, to world-experts in their fields.

"Our UK Innovation Campus is a base for 4,000 people of 59 nationalities who work together to make better products for homes around the world. Dyson is a very global business where Research and Development teams increasingly span Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, UK and US. We sell in 83 markets globally and our supply chain, manufacturing and headquarters are in South East Asia.”

Dr Mark Taylor, Dyson’s Chief Research Officer, said: Dyson is built on new technology and we increasingly work in fields that many people would not have imagined Dyson venturing into until recently. We are looking for people, from a range of disciplines to help develop the technologies which will be integrated into products that will be in millions of homes.”
