Thermal and Fluid Sciences Engineering - Internship Positions

Cummins • Columbus, IN

112d • $3,900 - $7,300

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.
