About The Position

We are looking for a talented Electronic Systems Product Advisor to join our Cummins Inc. team in Seattle, Washington. In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways: Lead the design and development of electrical and electronic hardware systems for innovative hybrid mining applications from concept through validation. Translate complex stakeholder and product requirements into robust technical solutions that improve system performance, quality, and reliability. Drive cross-functional collaboration between electrical, mechanical, software, manufacturing, and supplier teams to deliver integrated product solutions. Optimize system architectures, controls, and calibration strategies to enhance product functionality and customer value. Resolve complex technical challenges through structured root cause analysis, data-driven decision-making, and corrective actions. Influence product architecture and design direction by leveraging systems thinking, modeling, simulation, and engineering expertise. Mentor and develop junior engineers while providing technical leadership across projects and small working teams. Improve engineering processes, tools, and development practices that support scalable, efficient, and high-quality product delivery. This role supports HEV Kit Systems design within First Mode, a Cummins business focused on developing next-generation hybrid solutions for industrial mining applications. As part of the Electrical Engineering team, you will play a key role in designing and delivering hardware systems from concept through validation, helping bring innovative products to market. Working in a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment, you will navigate ambiguity, partner across multiple engineering disciplines, and contribute to technical solutions that span electrical, mechanical, and integrated system boundaries. As a member of a small, agile team, you will have the opportunity to influence all phases of product development, including ideation, design, testing, and implementation. The ideal candidate brings a broad engineering perspective, with the ability to understand and solve challenges that exist at the intersection of electrical and mechanical systems. This individual demonstrates strong ownership, maintains well-organized work practices, communicates effectively with stakeholders, and drives projects forward with minimal oversight. This position offers the opportunity to influence product architecture and technical direction while making a meaningful impact on the business. Although not a direct people leadership role, the successful candidate will be expected to mentor junior engineers, provide technical guidance, and lead small cross-functional teams when needed.
