Co-op Engineer: Structural Dynamics & Acoustics

Cummins Inc; Columbus (IN); On-site; USD 44,000 - 81,000; Full time

Job summary

Cummins Inc. offers a 12-month cooperative placement in Engineering for full-time students in the U.S. The role emphasizes applying established processes, problem solving, and validation activities within a team of engineers to develop and document results.

You will gain hands-on experience with design, validation, and performance analysis, leveraging tools and standards across components and systems and learning from experienced mentors.

Qualifications

• Applies Principles of Fatigue and Durability
• Applies Principles of Noise and Acoustics
• Applies Principles of Dynamics and Vibration
• Product Systems Modeling and Analysis
• Systems Modeling and Simulation
• Product Problem Solving
• Applies Principles of Statistical Methods
• Decision quality
• Drives results
• Communicates effectively

Responsibilities

• Investigates product and system problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, may include activities in problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members.
• Focus is on the execution and improvement of established processes primarily documented in detailed local and global work instructions (EPs) that are required in Engineering Standard Work (ESW) and/or Design Validation Plans (DVP&R).
• This is accomplished through standard, as well as development of specialized computational tools and methods that are required to support the Design and Validation processes and enable high confidence decision making. May assist more experienced team members in obtaining input from Design, Thermal Sciences, Materials and Product Validation and to deliver computer models and results for key structural performance parameters like motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, sound power to Design and Product Validation.
• Uses formal training like Statics, Dynamics, Machine Design, Mechanics of Materials, Failure Analysis, Engineering Materials, and others along with tool specific training (ANSYS, FE-Safe, GT, AVL) to assist with making Design decisions based on numerical predictions of structural performance of components and systems.
• May include activities in problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services.
• Supervised execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes.
• No direct management of people but could involve limited coordination of work amongst engineers or technicians.
• Contributes effectively toward team goals and develops proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.
