Thermal and Fluid Sciences Engineering Co-Op Positions

Cummins • Columbus, IN

120d • $3,900 - $5,000

About The Position

You will analyze our products through simulation and physical testing to develop system level optimized solutions for IC engine & electric power systems, fuel & air systems, filtration & aftertreatment systems, and battery & fuel cell electric systems. To do this you will be applying knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, filtration, and combustion to assigned tasks to help integrate products & systems which deliver customer and regulatory requirements. Roles available in Thermal & Fluid Systems include: Combustion and Emissions Systems Engineer (Hybrid), Aftertreatment Integration Engineer (Hybrid), Engine and Aftertreatment Simulation Engineer (Hybrid), Computational Fluid Dynamics Analyst (Hybrid). In these applied science positions, you will utilize the core competencies of thermal and fluid sciences, employing and developing advanced analytical tools (including three-dimensional modeling) to answer key questions about the performance and architecture of a system or component. The results of this analysis drive decisions which ultimately lead to state-of-the-art, highly effective, environmentally friendly, and competitive products.

Requirements

• Apply the principles of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, energy conversion systems and heat transfer to real-world problems.
• Actively engage in product problem solving and product failure mode avoidance.
• Leverage data analysis results to drive further optimization of the design and performance.
• Demonstrate effective use of appropriate industry and Cummins specific tools and software.
• Consider system requirements and demonstrate a system thinking approach to work.
• Demonstrate strong decision-making skills and a strong customer focus.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively (both verbal and written) with key stakeholders and colleagues.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with three-dimensional modeling and advanced analytical tools.
• Familiarity with thermal and fluid sciences.

Responsibilities

• Analytically investigating product, system and/or technology problems and recommending appropriate actions for problem resolution and/or optimization.
• Using your understanding of fundamental Physics to understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate action and assisting with documented problem resolutions.
• Actively collaborating with key stakeholders and colleagues, using analysis results to impact and support the successful advancement of projects.
• Participating in problem resolution for moderately/high complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with a high degree of technical complexity and ambiguity and with accountability to the project team.
• Using tools related to thermal and fluid sciences such as: Fluent (ANSYS Simulation ~ Simulink), GT-Suite, Boost, Converge (CFD Software), Emissions data system, Hardware in the loop testing, MATLAB (with In-House developed plugins).
