Electronic Systems Product Engineer

This early-career professional, product-focused position tailors electronic and electrical systems for Cummins products. People in these positions translate product requirements into hardware and software technical requirements that control the operation of Cummins' products in various customer applications. Additionally, the role involves configuring (tuning) and completing comprehensive validation testing of fully integrated hardware and software systems.

• Investigates electronic application and systems problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution, and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members.
• Applies and supports the improvement of electronic application and systems development processes and tools, including system specification, modeling and simulation, calibration, Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), and troubleshooting.
• Uses tools for simulation, calibration, and product life maintenance.
• Obtains 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.
• Makes decisions in electronic and electrical system design, requirements, calibration, and test that impact the quality and performance of individual calibrated features and/or components.
• Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with technical complexity and ambiguity increasing with experience.
• Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems while developing technology or product knowledge and engaging in process improvements.
• Coordinates and directs work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees.
• Contributes effectively toward team goals, influences within a workgroup, and continues developing proficiency in critical competency areas.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Electronic, or Mechatronics Engineering (or a related STEM field).
• Post-graduate (Master s) degree may be required for select roles.

• Entry-level to early-career professional role.
• Preferred candidates have relevant experience in internships, co-ops, extracurricular team activities, or early-career professional roles in a technical discipline.
• Knowledge of MS Office tools is preferred.

• Software & Simulation: Calterm, Matlab/Simulink, PCAN explorer, Insite, Integrity, C2ST.
• Testing & Validation: SIL/Puresim/NI Teststand.

• Experience with manual and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing to validate prototype and production-intended software/calibration on benches (LUIS bench/ACCEPTS bench).
• Document and analyze test results; submit change requests or defects to the software development team.
• Automate regression test procedures through SIL/Puresim/NI Teststand.
• Diagnose bench and software issues.

• 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 subsystems into a whole to achieve desired output by applying installation requirements and best practices.
• Product Failure Mode Avoidance - Identifies potential failure modes and causes to improve product reliability.
• Product Function Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis - Uses computational tools and methods to predict the capability of a product s function.
• Product Problem Solving - Solves product problems using data-driven approaches to ensure robust solutions and prevent recurrence.
• Product Verification and Validation Management - Develops validation plans, assesses legacy versus proposed solutions, and evaluates test results.
• System Requirements Engineering - Translates stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements and tracks changes through the system lifecycle.
• Systems Thinking - Defines and analyzes system interactions and behaviors to improve efficiency and performance.
• Collaborates - Builds partnerships and works collaboratively with others.
• Communicates effectively - Develops and delivers communication tailored to different audiences.
• Decision quality - Makes good and timely decisions to keep projects moving forward.
• Drives results - Consistently achieves results, even under challenging circumstances.
• Self-development - Seeks new ways to grow and be challenged using formal and informal development channels.
• Values differences - Recognizes the importance of diverse perspectives and cultures.
• Applies Principles of Statistical Methods - Uses statistical analysis to make data-driven decisions.
• Cross-Functional Design Integration - Translates stakeholder requirements into virtual designs.
• Technical Documentation - Documents technical learnings and communicates with stakeholders.
• Product Development Execution, Monitoring, and Control - Plans, schedules, and executes product development activities while managing project risks.
• Design and Application of Open/Closed Loop Controls - Specifies control system architectures and configures feedback control features.
