About The Position

We are looking for a talented Sr. Test Engineer to join our Engineering team of Cummins Drivetrain and Braking Systems (CDBS) in Troy, MI.
In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
Physics-based Test Integration: I will develop and maintain calibrated, physics-based duty cycle and damage models using real-world data, and design targeted experimental plans that close gaps between analysis and test to maximize coverage and predictive accuracy.
Failure Mode Mitigation: I will proactively identify interfaces, control and noise factors, and prioritize potential failure modes, then drive design and process changes that reduce risk and improve product reliability.
Interface Management and Integration: I will define clear interface requirements and limits, create phased integration plans with methods and timing, and control interactions, so system elements remain diagnosable and within spec.
Customer-protective Problem Solving: I will lead data-driven root cause investigations that protect customers, implement robust corrective actions, and translate systemic findings into preventive improvements.
Verification and Validation Leadership: I will develop V&V plans from diverse inputs, negotiate requirements versus capability, and synthesize analytical, simulation, and test results to validate product readiness and inform technical decisions.
Systems Requirements Engineering: I will convert stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements with acceptance criteria, track requirement status across the lifecycle, and assess change impacts on scope, schedule, and resources.
Cross-functional Networking and Resourcefulness: I will build formal and informal networks across functions and suppliers, secure the right resources quickly, and coordinate activities to accelerate integration and problem resolution.
Clear Communication and Decision-driven Delivery: I will tailor multi-mode communications for different audiences, make timely, high-quality decisions under uncertainty, and consistently drive measurable results while valuing diverse perspectives.
