Following brief employment with the Union Carbide Corporation as a development engineer, he joined the Air Force as a commissioned 2nd lieutenant in March 1955. He learned to fly T33, T34, T28, and C-47 airplanes at Marana Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona, and from October 1956 to September 1957, he was a controller at the 314th Air Division at Osan-Ni K-55 Air Base, Korea, and a T33 pilot.

Upon completion of his Ph.D., he joined an exceptional group of chemical engineering researchers at Shell Development Company in Emeryville, California, where he was strongly influenced by the quality and originality of research by Charles Sternling on mass transfer across interfaces. In 1968, Saville joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Princeton.

In 1992, Saville began a fruitful collaboration with Ilhan Aksay, a Princeton colleague who had complementary skills and expertise. Their exploration of using electrohydrodynamics to assemble and pattern colloidal crystals and other submicron phases resulted in a number of influential papers published in Science, Nature, and Physical Review Letters on the assembly of colloidal particles, surfactant aggregates, and proteins on surfaces.

He exerted a profound influence on the programs and intellectual environment of Princeton's chemical engineering department and did much to maintain and enhance its reputation as one of the premier chemical engineering departments in the country. He received many honors for his scientific achievements, including the Alpha Chi Sigma Award from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (1997)

His love of flying and Air Force experience translated into 10 years of flying gliders with the Soaring Society of Princeton University. A sport he reluctantly gave up when his increasingly busy schedule did not allow him to fly often enough to meet his safety standards.

His love of boats had as much to do with recreation as it did with his lifelong interest in the behavior of water; he saw and tried to understand the functioning of the natural world around him at every turn. His grandson, Aidan, had barely begun to talk when Dudley began explaining vortices in the bathtub and demonstrating the wonders of surface tension in soap bubbles.
