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.
• Utilize tools for simulation, calibration, and product life maintenance.
• 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 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 over the senior or lead engineer level and with full accountability to the project team.
• Deliver independent execution of established and emerging work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge.
• 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, assist in the transfer of knowledge to less experienced engineers through either indirect (scope of influence) or direct management of a small, local group of 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.

• 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 by the customer; 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, sub-system, 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 the 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, 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 its 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 to produce the desired effects.
• Builds Networks : Effectively building formal and informal relationship networks inside and outside the organization.
• Communicates Effectively : Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a clear 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.
• Manages Complexity : Making sense of complex, high quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems.
• Resourcefulness : Securing and deploying resources effectively and efficiently.
• Values Differences : Recognizing 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 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.

• College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or an 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.

• Good understanding of electronics fundamentals.
• Basic understanding of electronics control system engineering and application.
• HW design and development, especially product development life cycle process and respective tools like iDFMEA.
• Good understanding of warranty return analysis, troubleshooting, and quality tools like 8D, 7 Steps, Fishbone.
• Knowledge of DVP&R validation plan, EMI/EMC testing, reliability, and relevant modifications with design/integration.
• Basic understanding of compliance like RoHS, UL.
• 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.
