Electronic Systems Product Specialist

DESCRIPTION

Key Responsibilities:

• Benchmark existing technologies in the market.
• Oversee functional and physical schematics and suggest improvements to the team.
• Provide inputs on common methodologies for preparing schematic design work, including libraries related to rail applications with Zuken E3.
• Lead and develop integrated schematics for all cars, ensuring functional, physical, and electrical interface alignments with cross-functional teams and customers.
• Prepare technical reports for critical subsystems and DVP&R tasks related to project requirements.
• Review and approve final schematic deliverables for compliance with standards and manufacturing needs.
• Prepare estimations for projects and timelines based on customer and marketing team requirements.
• Guide the team in necessary change management and revisions using the E3 tool and follow process requirements.
• Utilize knowledge and past experience on propulsion and subsystems used in main line locomotives.
• Apply knowledge of EN standards for rail applications for various electrical schemes in rolling stocks.

• College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or an appropriate STEM field is required.

• Machine Integration and Optimization : Combines various parts or subsystems into a whole to achieve the desired output; applies Cummins' installation requirements using standard tools, processes, and best practices to ensure optimization of performance, reliability, cost, and quality; analyzes technical issues using proven problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques for rapid resolution.
• 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, subsystem, and/or component level requirements.
• Product Problem Solving : Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer; determines the assignable cause; implements robust, data-based solutions; and identifies systemic root causes and recommended actions to prevent problem reoccurrence.
• Product Verification and Validation Management : Develops product systems validation plans from various inputs to identify failure modes, manage product risk, and prioritize; 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; 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 boundaries, identifying its context within its environment, its interfaces, and its lifecycle; analyzes linkages and interactions between elements that comprise the system of interest using appropriate methods, models, and integration of outcomes to understand the system, predict its behavior, and devise modifications to produce desired effects.
• Builds Networks : Effectively builds formal and informal relationship networks inside and outside the organization.
• Communicates Effectively : Develops and delivers multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences.
• Decision Quality : Makes good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward.
• Drives Results : Consistently achieves results, even under tough circumstances.
• Manages Complexity : Makes sense of complex, high quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems.
• Resourcefulness : Secures and deploys resources effectively and efficiently.
• Values Differences : Recognizes the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization.
• 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 that 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.

• Prior Senior or Lead Engineer equivalent work experience in a relevant discipline area is required, with a demonstrated track record of technical problem solving and quality decision making.
• Knowledge of MS Office tools is preferred.
