**DESCRIPTION** Key Responsibilities: + Investigate Value Package Introduction (VPI) program team or field-based issues, understand causal mechanisms, and recommend appropriate actions to resolve product issues from a design perspective. + Support the execution of processes like Critical Design Decisions, System Design and Validation Consideration Checklist, Design Review, and use of tools such as iDFMEA, DVA, GD&T, CREO, and ANSYS Workbench to ensure high-quality design decisions and refinement. + Collaborate with cross-functional and cross-discipline technical experts and senior designers to communicate design intent via comprehensive Design Review packages. + Assist in decision-making processes for concept selection, optimization, and design specifications, ensuring alignment with customer and product needs. + Own problem resolution for moderately complex components, systems, or subsystems, progressively handling more complex issues as experience grows. + Provide independent execution of established work processes while continuously developing knowledge of technology and products. + Meet functional Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. + Engage with vendors to develop and validate designs for form, fit, function, and manufacturing feasibility. + Support operations on manufacturing and quality issues, including involvement in In-process validations when required. + Contribute to engineering process improvements and ensure adherence to ISO TS/IATF 16949 processes and standards. + Work with CAD, PDM, and ERP systems while interacting with cross-functional teams (CFT). **RESPONSIBILITIES** **Qualifications:** + **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related STEM field, or

computational tools to model and predict product function and performance at the system, subsystem, and component levels. + **Product Platform Planning & Architecting:** Contribute to the development of product architectures, ensuring alignment with market needs and performing trade-off analysis. + **System Requirements Engineering:** Translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements and establish acceptance criteria throughout the system lifecycle. + **Product Problem Solving:** Use structured problem-solving processes to identify root causes and implement effective solutions that improve product quality and reliability. + **Product Failure Mode Avoidance:** Proactively mitigate potential failure modes to improve the reliability and quality of products. + **Product Configuration and Change Management:** Manage product configurations and control changes throughout the product lifecycle. + **Systems Thinking:** Analyze the interactions and integration of system elements to predict product behavior and refine designs to meet desired outcomes. + **Technical Documentation:** Prepare clear and comprehensive technical documentation for effective knowledge transfer and continuous learning. **QUALIFICATIONS** **Experience:** + **Required:** 2 to 6 years of work experience in vehicle foundation "brakes" product design, preferably in commercial vehicle brake systems. + **Preferred:** Experience with casting part design, development, manufacturing, and quality requirements. + **Additional Skills:** Knowledge of MS Office and CAD tools (preferably CREO) is preferred. **Skills:** + **CAD and Design Tools:** Proficiency in CREO, ANSYS Workbench, and related CAD tools. + **Problem Solving:** Ability to identify and resolve design and product issues using data-driven solutions. + **Cross-Functional Collaboration:** Strong teamwork skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, quality, and vendors. + **Technical Communication:** Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical information to various audiences. + **Project Management:** Ability to prioritize and manage tasks to meet deadlines while ensuring high-quality results. + **Continuous Improvement:** A mindset for improving design processes, tools, and methods to enhance overall product performance. **Job** Engineering **Organization** Cummins Inc. **Role Category** Hybrid **Job Type** Exempt - Experienced **ReqID** 2407779 **Relocation Package** No
