• Apply GD&T and perform tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Demonstrate basic DFMEA knowledge.
• Interact with cross-functional teams.
• Investigate Value Package Introduction (VPI) program team or field-based issues, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate action, and own problem resolution from a design perspective.
• Apply and support the execution of processes such as Critical Design Decisions, System Design and Validation Consideration Checklist, Design Review, and tools such as iDFMEA, DVA, GD&T, CREO, and ANSYS Workbench.
• Obtain input and negotiate with cross-functional and cross-discipline technical experts and senior-level designers to communicate the component and subsystem design intent.
• Support design decision-making in the areas of concept selection, concept optimization, and design specifications.
• Own problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services.
• Provide independent execution of established work processes and systems while developing technology or product knowledge.
• Engage with the improvement of systems and processes.
• Coordinate and direct work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• 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.

• Mechanical Design Modeling and Analysis

  : Creates Computer-Aided Design models in accordance with Cummins standards to represent architectural or product-level system design concepts and to enable completion of various system-level computer analyses such as Dimensional Variation Analysis and Finite Element Analysis.

• Mechanical Design of Mechanical Systems

  : Acquires and applies an in-depth understanding of mechanical systems to create innovative and sound design concepts that meet Cummins and customer expectations.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Technical Documentation

  : Documents information based on knowledge gained as part of technical function activities; communicates to stakeholders to enable improved technical productivity and effective knowledge transfer.

• 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.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in an appropriate STEM field, or equivalent experience, is required.
• This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.

QUALIFICATIONS

Skills and Experience:

• 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 and CREO tools is also preferred.
