About this role

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

- Lead the investigation and resolution of product and design-related issues for New Engine Installation (NEI) programs and field applications, identifying root causes, recommending solutions, and documenting outcomes to drive continuous improvement.

- Support the execution of key engineering and product development processes, including Critical Design Decisions, Design Reviews, System Design and Validation Consideration Checklists, and other quality-focused methodologies that enable sound design decisions.

- Utilize engineering tools and methods such as iDFMEA, DVA, GD&T, CREO, and ANSYS Workbench to evaluate, refine, and validate component and subsystem designs.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, technical experts, and senior designers to develop comprehensive Design Review packages that clearly communicate design intent and support informed decision-making.

- Contribute to Customer Engineering Approval Form (CEAF), New Engine Installation (NEI), and Engineering Change Request (ECR) initiatives by assessing design concepts and supporting concept selection, optimization, and specification development.

- Own the resolution of moderately complex technical challenges involving components, subsystems, products, and services, balancing performance, quality, reliability, and customer requirements.

- Independently execute established engineering processes and systems while identifying opportunities to improve workflows, strengthen design practices, and enhance product development effectiveness.

- Coordinate with technicians and temporary team members as needed, while contributing to team objectives and helping drive successful project outcomes through collaboration and technical expertise.

This role will be part of DBU’s CSSNA Industrial HMLD Design Engineering team, focusing primarily on off-highway industrial Power Unit and OEM custom design engineering. The mechanical Design Engineer will support the installation and integration of Cummins engines and related systems into customer equipment by developing and maintaining CAD models, drawings, and bills of material; collaborating closely with Application Engineering to understand customer requirements and advisor recommendations; ensuring engine installation requirements, packaging constraints, cooling, serviceability, and product safety considerations are met; participating in design reviews and engineering change activities; supporting prototype builds and validation efforts; and working with manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and cross-functional teams to deliver robust, customer-focused solutions while gaining experience in product development, engineering standards, and mechanical system integration.
