Cummins Inc. is looking for a student to apply engineering principles and design practices to create optimized design concepts and mechanical design specifications, considering various factors like application, cost, weight, performance, reliability, durability, manufacturing, assembly, and serviceability. The role involves investigating and resolving material and material processing problems, supporting process improvements, and contributing to decision-making in material selection and optimization.
Requirements
- Mechanical Design of Mechanical Systems
- Mechanical Design Specifications
- Mechanical Design Modeling and Analysis
- Product Problem Solving
- System Requirements Engineering
- Product Platform Planning and Architecting
- material characterization, material testing, non-destructive testing, mechanical and physical properties measurement, simulation and statistical data analysis
Responsibilities
- Investigates material and material processing problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, actively contributes to problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members.
- Applies and supports the improvement of processes such as material and material processing validation, quality auditing, design validation and 7-step problem solving and utilizes the tools and techniques for material characterization, material testing, non-destructive testing, mechanical and physical properties measurement, simulation and statistical data analysis which are required to enable higher quality decision making.
- May support more experienced team members to obtain input and negotiate with Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering functions and delivers testing/analysis results and consultancy to these functions to enable internal and external customer success.
- May support more experienced team members that make decisions in the areas of material and material processing selection and optimization, qualification, and inspection that impact product quality, reliability, durability, and capability.
- Applies and improves material specifications/standards in alignment with requirements, capability, and quality needs.
- May include activities in problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services.
- Supervised execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes.
