PRODUCT ENGINEER

DESCRIPTION

Key Responsibilities

• Investigate and resolve product-related issues using tools such as 7-step problem solving, iDFMEA, and FIRG.

• Apply engineering standard work and processes in Product Preceding Technology (PPT), Value Package Introduction (VPI), and Current Product Support (CPS).

• Lead and manage small to medium range VPC, Wave, or cost-reduction projects independently.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, and supplier partners to ensure quality product decisions.

• Own and execute moderately complex component, system, or product technical tasks with growing levels of independence.

• Create and manage complete design specifications, including 3D models and engineering BOMs, adhering to international and Cummins standards.

• Contribute to product verification and validation plans to support design intent and reliability targets.

• Drive systemic problem-solving and continuous improvement efforts within the engineering process.

• Document technical decisions, processes, and problem resolution to support knowledge transfer and future projects.
