Cummins Inc. is looking for a student to investigate product and system problems, understand causal mechanisms, and recommend appropriate actions to improve engineering processes and computational tools supporting design and validation.
Requirements
- ANSYS
- FE-Safe
- GT
- AVL
- Statics
- Dynamics
- Machine Design
Responsibilities
- Investigates product and system problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, may include activities in problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members.
- Focus is on the execution and improvement of established processes primarily documented in detailed local and global work instructions (EPs) that are required in Engineering Standard Work (ESW) and/or Design Validation Plans (DVP&R).
- This is accomplished through standard, as well as development of specialized computational tools and methods that are required to support the Design and Validation processes and enable high confidence decision making.
- May assist more experienced team members in obtaining input from Design, Thermal Sciences, Materials and Product Validation and to deliver computer models and results for key structural performance parameters like motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power to Design and Product Validation.
- Uses formal training like Statics, Dynamics, Machine Design, Mechanics of Materials, Failure Analysis, Engineering Materials, and others along with tool specific training (ANSYS, FE-Safe, GT, AVL) to assist with making Design decisions based on numerical predictions of structural performance of components and systems.
- 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.
Other
- Must be a full-time enrolled student pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree at an accredited U.S. college/university
- Minimum 2.5 or above GPA preferred
- Must be able to complete a minimum of 4-months to 6-months or a maximum of a 12-months commitment
- Must be able to complete 40 hours per week
- Willingness to learn from others on the job
