RePower Program: Simulation-Based Product Design Technical Specialist

RePower Program: Simulation-Based Product Design Technical Specialist

Description

At Cummins, we recognize the decision to come back into your desired career after an extended career break can be intimidating. We value your diverse background, education, and experience and believe that we can help with Powering Your Potential as you make the return. RePower, our return-to-work program, is designed specifically for candidates like you: people who have over five years of professional work experience and an employment gap of at least two years for a variety of reasons and are now ready to return to the workforce. The program is designed to support you as you re-engage those skills through fulfilling work assignments. Mentoring, training, development, and helping you to achieve your professional goals is the leading factor in each cohort. The role is a six-month paid and benefitted opportunity which is aimed at providing you with the necessary extensive internal resources to support your return to paid work. During your time with us, you will be provided with an opportunity to use your specialist skills, expertise, interests, and abilities on meaningful projects. Following the six months, successful participants may be eligible for full time employment opportunities. We are excited to get to know you and learn more about what powers you.

Job Summary

In this role, the electrical-mechanical Simulation-Based Product Design Technical Specialist will execute and improve established engineering processes, such as the design and virtual simulation of electric machines (e.g., transfer switches, solenoids, and electrical motors), and interpret and predict the performance of energy conversion systems (e.g., spring-loaded mechanisms) thru numerical simulations and experimental tests results.

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

• Obtains input and negotiates with Design, Thermal Sciences, Materials and Product Validation and delivers key structural performance parameters like motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power, etc. to Design and Product Validation.
• Makes decisions in the area of structural design (materials and their processing as well as geometry) that impact structural performance (motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power, etc.) of components andsystems.
• Applies and improves computer modeling processes that estimate motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power, etc. and tools such as ANSYS to support the processes and enable high quality decision making.
• Provides independent leadership of smaller business impact projects or ownership of complex components, products, systems or services with greater elements of ambiguity over the senior or lead engineer level and with full accountability to the project team.
• Delivers independent execution of established and emerging work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge.
• Leads the development and improvement of work processes and systems across a functional discipline area within a business unit site.
• Provides support and guidance to influence technical direction within a project team and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role you will need the following:

Skills

• Applies Principles of Dynamics and Vibration - Determines motion of components and systems via numerical modeling and/or physical measurements; evaluates rigid and flexible body motion, natural frequencies, mode shapes, displacements, velocities, accelerations, friction, and wear to draw conclusions that influence design decisions with internal and external customers.
• Product Systems Modeling and Analysis - Impacts product design decisions to best meet stakeholder's requirements through the utilization and interpretation of numerical tools and methods that predict the performance of a component or system.
• Product Problem Solving - Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer; determines the assignable cause; implements robust, data-based solutions; and identifies the systemic root causes and recommended actions to prevent problem reoccurrence.
• Decision quality - Making good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward.
• Drives results - Consistently achieving results, even under tough circumstances.
• Communicates effectively - Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences.
• Builds networks - Effectively building formal and informal relationship networks inside and outside the organization.
• Resourcefulness - Securing and deploying resources effectively and efficiently.
• Manages complexity - Making sense of complex, high quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems.

Education, Licenses, Certifications

• College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or other relevant technical disciplines is required.
• This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.

Experience

• Prior Senior Engineer equivalent work experience in a relevant discipline area is required with a demonstrated track record of technical problem solving and quality decision making.
• Preferred candidates would have a mix of experience using MS Office tools, Matlab, Python, Windows/Linux operating systems, and desktop/remote high performance computing hardware systems.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation for this role is $8,000/month (subject to applicable withholdings), plus benefits such as health and wellness while in the returnship.
