Analyzes technical data using descriptive statistics probability distributions graphical analysis and statistical inference population and sample confidence intervals and hypothesis testing models relationships between response and independent variables using analysis of variance regression and design of experiments to make rigorous data-based decisions Cross-Functional Design Integration - Translates the value package requirements that include the voices of many stakeholders into virtual designs and communicates the capability of the design through an approved cross-functional design review Design and Application of Open Closed Loop Controls - Specifies software features that interact with mechanical hydraulic chemical and electronic systems to deliver desired system states specifies control system architectures which include appropriate measurements correct actuation and algorithms for Cummins products configures and or understands open closed loop feedback controls features and the system interactions between hardware and software in Cummins products Mechanical Design of Mechanical Systems - Acquires and applies an in-depth understanding of mechanical systems through working knowledge that guides a designer s ability to create innovative and sound design concepts to meet Cummins and customer expectations designs for requirements of all lifecycle stages by considering the customer requirements in different operating environments to ensure a robust system Mechanical Design Specification - Creates complete specifications in the form of solid models configured engineering bill of materials and detailed drawings that cross-functionally communicate the information required to manufacture and inspect a product per its design intent considers national international industry and Cummins standards that accurately and concisely define the part specification Product Configuration and Change Management - Establishes a baseline of identified product artifacts to be placed under configuration management releases tracks controls and communicates changes from concept to obsolescence often through work requests establishes and maintains the integrity of the product artifact baselines Product Development Execution Monitoring and Control - Plans schedules coordinates and executes the activities involved in developing a product to a respectively aligned hierarchy of requirements and technical profiles monitors and communicates across functional boundaries to meet project resource and quality expectations ensures product capability meets or exceeds expectations and takes mitigating actions when project risks are higher than expected understands the full product life cycle process and stakeholders Product Failure Mode Avoidance - Mitigates potential product failure modes by identifying interfaces functions functional requirements interactions control factors noise factors and prioritized potential failure modes and potential failure causes for the system of interest to effectively and efficiently improve the reliability of Cummins products Product Function Modeling Simulation and Analysis - Impacts product design decisions through the utilization and or interpretation of computational tools and methods that predict the capability of a product s function relative to its system sub-system and or component level requirements Product Interface Management and Integration - Identifies and analyzes the interfaces and interactions across system boundaries by specifying the requirements and limits to ensure that the product meets requirements controls the interactions across the system element boundaries by making sure that they remain within specified limits integrates system elements by creating an integration plan including identification of method and timing for each activity to make it easier to find isolate diagnose and correct Product Problem Solving - Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer determines the assignable cause implements robust data-based solutions and identifies the systemic root causes and recommended actions to prevent problem reoccurrence Product Verification and Validation Management - Develops product systems validation plans from a variety of inputs to identify failure modes while managing product risk and relative priority negotiates product requirements against capability to guide project scope evaluates analytical simulation and physical test results to verify product capability and validate requirements assesses legacy versus proposed system solution capabilities and produces recommendations with technical documentation to support product decisions System Requirements Engineering - Uses appropriate methods and tools to translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements to which designs are developed establishes acceptance criteria for the system of interest through analysis allocation and negotiation tracks the status of requirements throughout the system lifecycle assesses the impact of changes to system requirements on project scope schedule and resources creates and maintains information linkages to related artifacts Systems Thinking - Defines the system of interest by drawing the boundaries identifying its context within its environment its interfaces and that it has a lifecycle to aid in planning the problem statement scope and deliverables analyzes linkages and interactions between elements that comprise the system of interest by using appropriate methods models and integration of outcomes to understand the system predict its behavior and devise modifications to it in order to produce the desired effects Technical Documentation - Documents information based on knowledge gained as part of technical function activities communicates to stakeholders with the goal of enabling improved technical productivity and effective knowledge transfer to others who were not originally part of the initial learning Collaborates - Building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives Communicates effectively - Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a transparent understanding of the unique needs of different audiences Decision quality - Making good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward Drives results - Consistently achieving results even under tough circumstances Self-development - Actively seeking new ways to grow and be challenged using both formal and informal development channels Values differences - Recognizing the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization Education Licenses Certifications College university or equivalent Bachelor s degree in Engineering or appropriate STEM field is required Post-graduate Master s degree relevant to this discipline area may be required for select roles This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations Experience Entry level Early career professional Preferred candidates would have relevant experience working in either a temporary student employment environment intern co-op or other extracurricular team activities or as an early career professional in a relevant technical discipline area Knowledge of MS Office tools is also preferred QUALIFICATIONS Job Specific Requirements -
