DESCRIPTION

This product-focused position tailors electronic and electrical systems for Cummins products. The role involves translating product requirements into hardware and software technical specifications, which control the operation of Cummins’ products in a variety of customer applications. Responsibilities include configuring, tuning, and conducting comprehensive validation testing of fully integrated hardware and software systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Investigate electronic application and systems problems, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, and document results.

Apply and improve electronic application and systems development processes and tools, including system specification, modeling, simulation, calibration, Design Verification Plan and Report (DVPR), and troubleshooting.

Utilize tools for simulation, calibration, and product lifecycle maintenance.

Gather input from customers, technical and product teams, manufacturing engineers, supplier partners, and other stakeholders to provide recommendations for quality product decisions.

Make decisions regarding electronic and electrical system design, requirements, calibration, and testing to impact subsystem and feature-class performance.

Review the work of less-experienced developers and testers to ensure robust, reusable, and efficient designs.

Lead smaller projects or own complex components, systems, or services with greater elements of ambiguity, ensuring accountability to the project team.

Independently execute established work processes while developing product or technology knowledge.

Coordinate and direct work among technicians and temporary employees, transferring knowledge to less-experienced engineers.

Provide guidance and support to influence technical direction within project teams.

Operate as a recognized specialist in specific disciplines or product areas within the immediate team.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Experience:

Prior Senior or Lead Engineer equivalent work experience in a relevant discipline.

Demonstrated track record of technical problem-solving and quality decision-making.

Knowledge of MS Office tools is preferred.

Knowledge/Skills:
