About The Position

This product focused position verifies and validates the functionality of Cummins’ products across a wide range of customer requirements, across a variety of applications, in various environments. This work plans, tracks, and evaluates results from a wide range of analyses and functional tests to assess product risk and performance.

In this role, you will make an impact by investigating product test system and process problems, understanding causal mechanisms, recommending appropriate action, and supporting the improvement of processes such as test system specification, design and validation and tools such as FMEA, 7-step problem solving, and process hazard analysis. You will also support more experienced team members to obtain input and negotiate with lab customers, lab technicians, and component suppliers, and deliver test system requirements, processes, and instructions. Additionally, you will support decisions in the areas of component selection, calibration processes, and operating processes that impact test equipment accuracy, reliability, and operating cost. This role may involve activities in problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services, and supervised execution of established work processes and systems while developing technology or product knowledge. While there is no direct management of people, there could be limited coordination of work amongst engineers and technicians. You will contribute effectively toward team goals and develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
