About The Position

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways: Problem-Solving : Strong desire to learn transform and apply theoretical knowledge into practical, lab-ready skills. Communication Skills : Written and verbal communication skills for creating reports, presenting findings, and working with teams. Teamwork : Ability to work well in collaborative environments with multidisciplinary teams. Technical Systems Integration (TSI) – School to Work Engine Business Unit (EBU) Program Overview This program provides hands-on experience in system-level engineering and early product development within Cummins’ Technical Systems Integration (TSI) team. TSI operates between research and product execution: Research & Technology explores early concepts TSI develops and integrates systems (TRL 4–5) Product teams execute final designs In this role, you will work on real engineering problems where early decisions shape product performance, cost, and risk. What You’ll Do During the program, you will: Support system-level engineering activities , including data analysis, performance evaluation, and component/system interactions Assist with validation and testing activities , helping interpret results and identify insights Work across teams (engineering, simulation, test) to support integration and decision-making Contribute to improving engineering workflows using data, automation, and emerging tools such as Agentic AI Help translate engineering data into clear recommendations for design or development decisions What You’ll Learn How early-stage engineering decisions are made before product launch How different engineering disciplines come together at the system level How data and tools are used to improve engineering decisions How emerging technologies like Agentic AI can support engineering analysis and productivity What Makes This Role Different This is not a traditional school to work program focused only on execution or testing. You will gain exposure to: System-level thinking Early-stage product decisions Cross-functional engineering work The use of Agentic AI and advanced tools to improve how engineering is done
