About the job

Summary_{By Outscal}

Cummins seeks a Product Systems Designer with experience in engine air handling subsystems, iDFMEA, Technical Profile, DVA, FTA, 7-step problem-solving, CREO, GD&T, and manufacturing processes. The role involves design review, virtual review, problem resolution, and design specification creation.

About the job

Description

Key Responsibilities

Investigate Value Package Introduction (VPI) program team or field-based issues, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate action, own problem resolution from a design perspective, while documenting results with guidance from more experienced team members.

Apply and support the development of processes such as Design Review, Virtual Review, and tools such as iDFMEA, DVA, GD&T, CREO, required to enable high-quality component and subsystem-level design decision making and design refinement.

Obtain input and negotiate with cross-functional and cross-discipline technical experts and senior-level designers to communicate the component and subsystem design intent through a thorough Design Review package to the Product Preceding Technology (PPT), Value Package Introduction (VPI), or Value Package Change Request (VPCR) team requiring a holistic assessment of various design concepts.

Support design decision making in the areas of concept selection, concept optimization, and design specifications that impact customers targeted to be served by a given PPT, VPI, or VPCR initiative.

Work effectively with other engineering and cross-functional disciplines to support resolution of product issues.

Own problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with a greater degree of technical complexity and ambiguity over the entry-level engineer level and with greater accountability to the project team.

Provide independent execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engage with the improvement of systems and processes.

Involve minimal direct management of people, but could involve the coordination and direction of work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees.

Contribute effectively toward team goals, exhibit influence within a work group, and continue to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.

Responsibilities

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical/production engineering.

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.

Competencies

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 through working knowledge that guides a designer’s ability to create innovative and sound design concepts to 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 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.

System Requirements Engineering : Uses appropriate methods and tools to translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements to which designs are developed.

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.

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.

Qualifications

Skills and Experience

Product design experience, preferably in the engine air handling subsystem domain, with an understanding of the product development cycle.

Good understanding of iDFMEA, Technical Profile, DVA, FTA, and 7-step product problem solving.

Proficiency in CAD tools like CREO and the ability to work independently on CREO.

Awareness of manufacturing processes, drawing reading, and GD&T.

Entry-level/early career professional.

Preferred candidates would have relevant experience working in a design laboratory or technology center environment as a non-exempt employee, temporary student employee (intern, co-op), or an early career professional in a relevant technical discipline area.

Knowledge of MS Office and CREO tools is also preferred.
