About The Position

We are looking for a talented Thermal and Fluid Systems Senior Engineer to join our team specializing in engineering for our Cummins’ business in Columbus, IN.
In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
Drive root-cause problem solving for thermal/fluid issues across components and systems—linking symptoms to causal mechanisms and owning closure with clear, traceable documentation.
Elevate decision quality by executing credible modeling and test analyses using GT‑Suite/Boost, Fluent/Converge, Concerto, CDAT, Mach, DARTS, and Emissions data systems—triangulating simulation and empirical data for confident recommendations.
Accelerate program delivery by rigorously applying PPP, PPT, VPI/VPC, ESW, and FEP—ensuring deliverables, gates, and risk mitigations are met with the right technical evidence at each milestone.
Improve product performance and durability through design-of-experiments, feasibility studies, and optimization (thermal management, pressure drop, emissions/after treatment, cavitation/aeration) that translate into measurable KPI gains.
Strengthen calibration and controls integration by using Calterm, ECM tools, ACCEPTS, and in‑loop test benches to validate thermal/flow models against control strategies and real hardware behavior.
Clarify complex trade‑offs for stakeholders—synthesizing insights into concise briefs that inform architecture choices, supplier selections, and manufacturing feasibility in partnership with product/manufacturing engineering.
Raise process capability by standardizing analysis templates, test data calculation methods, storage hygiene, and model correlation practices—reducing rework and enabling reuse across programs.
Enable team throughput by coordinating technician/student work scopes, mentoring peers on best‑practice workflows, and proactively communicating status/risks so projects progress without surprises.
