Electronic Systems Product Specialist

DESCRIPTION

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate electronic application and systems problems, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, own problem resolution, and document results with guidance from more experienced team members.
• Apply and improve electronic application and systems development processes and tools, including system specification, modeling and simulation, calibration, Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), and troubleshooting.
• Obtain input from customers, technical and product teams, manufacturing engineers, supplier partners, and other stakeholders to deliver information and recommendations that lead to quality product decisions.
• Make decisions in the areas of electronic and electrical system design, requirements, calibration, and test that impact the quality and performance of calibrated subsystems and feature classes of electronic subsystems.
• Review the work of less-experienced developers/testers to ensure robust, reusable, and efficient design.
• Provide independent leadership of smaller business impact projects or ownership of complex components, products, systems, or services with greater elements of ambiguity.
• Lead the development and improvement of work processes and systems across a functional discipline area within a business unit site.
• Coordinate and direct work amongst technicians and temporary student employees, and assist in the transfer of knowledge to less experienced engineers.
• Provide support and guidance to influence technical direction within a project team and continue to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
• Operate as a recognized specialist in a discipline or product area within the immediate team.

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

• Design and Application of Mechatronics Systems: Specifies electronic hardware and interconnections that measure and control systems; applies electronic hardware and interconnections in Cummins' products.
• Machine Integration and Optimization: Combines various parts or sub-systems into a whole to achieve the desired output; applies Cummins' installation requirements to ensure optimization of performance, reliability, cost, and quality.
• Product Function Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis: Utilizes computational tools and methods to predict product function capabilities.
• Product Problem Solving: Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer and implements robust, data-based solutions.
• Product Verification and Validation Management: Develops product systems validation plans, negotiates product requirements, and evaluates test results to verify product capability.
• System Requirements Engineering: Translates stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements and tracks the status of requirements throughout the system lifecycle.
• Systems Thinking: Defines the system of interest, analyzes linkages and interactions between elements, and devises 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.

• 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.
• Experience in developing the simulation including sub-systems interfaces and I/O interfaces and preparation of algorithms for train functions.
• Able to prepare or review simulation specification for rail application.
• Experience in Labview simulation or similar simulation tool preferred.
• Understanding of train system and functionalities alongwith the test execution at the system level.
• Must have user-level knowledge of trains and their sub-systems, along with significant work experience in this area.
