Product Engineer (On-site)

DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a talented Product Engineer (On-site) to join our team specializing in Engineering for our Cummins Inc. facility in Seymour, IN.

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

• Problem Investigation and Resolution : Investigate product problems, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, and document results, ensuring high-quality decision-making.
• Process Execution : Focus on business processes such as Value Package Change Request (VPCR), and Current Product Support (CPS), executing technical processes like Product Problem Solving, Engineering Standard Work (ESW) and iDFMEA.
• Stakeholder Collaboration : Obtain input from technical managers, project leaders, product and manufacturing engineers, and supplier partners to deliver quality product decisions.
• Academic and Practical Application : Apply academic knowledge and existing experience to make informed decisions that progress projects without compromising quality.
• Ownership of Problem Resolution : Own the resolution of moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services, with increasing technical complexity as experience is gained.
• Independent Execution : Execute established work processes and systems independently while developing technology or product knowledge and engaging in system and process improvements.
• Team Coordination : Coordinate and direct work among technicians and/or temporary student employees, contributing to team goals and exhibiting influence within the work group.
• Continuous Development : Continue to develop proficiency in critical competency areas, enhancing your ability to contribute effectively to the team's success.

• Statistical Methods Application : Analyze technical data using statistical methods to make rigorous, data-based decisions, including descriptive statistics, probability distributions, and hypothesis testing.
• Cross-Functional Design Integration : Translate value package requirements into virtual designs and communicate design capabilities through cross-functional design reviews.
• Product Configuration and Change Management : Establish and maintain product artifact baselines, track and communicate changes, and ensure the integrity of product configurations from concept to obsolescence.
• 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 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.

• Work Location : This position requires 100% on-site presence and may require the selected candidate to be available to work multiple shifts to align with business needs.
• Shift Flexibility : May need to work different shifts to align with business needs.
• Strong Communication and Analytical Skills : Demonstrates excellent communication abilities, coupled with strengths in logical reasoning, planning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office : Experienced in using Microsoft Office tools or their equivalents, particularly Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.
• Product Engineering Support : Provides engineering support to the Engine Plant, addressing assembly, machining, and material issues.
• Preferred Experience : Prior hands-on internal combustion engines development or other relevant experience is preferred.
