Lyon then worked at Bolt, Beranek, and Newman for ten years. He joined MIT faculty as a lecturer in 1963, and was made professor of mechanical engineering in 1970. While teaching, Lyon founded Cambridge Collaborative, Inc. and RH Lyon Corp.[1] Lyon was elected to membership of the National Academy of Engineering "for development of statistical energy analysis and machinery diagnostic techniques" in 1995,[3] the same year he ended his career in academia.[1]

He was elected to fellowship of the Acoustical Society of America and has received the ASA Silver (1998) and Gold Medals (2003), as well as the Gold Medal from the Acoustical Society of India.[4]
