Thermal and Fluid Sciences Engineering - Internship Positions

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.

• 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.

• Analytically investigating product, system and/or technology problems and recommending appropriate actions for problem resolution and/or optimization
• Using your understanding of fundamental Physics to understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate action and assisting with documented problem resolutions.
• Actively collaborating with key stakeholders and colleagues, using analysis results to impact and support the successful advancement of projects
• Participating in problem resolution for moderately/high complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with a high degree of technical complexity and ambiguity and with accountability to the project team.

Using tools related to thermal and fluid sciences such as:

• Fluent (ANSYS Simulation ~ Simulink)
• GT-Suite
• Boost
• Converge (CFD Software
• Emissions data system
• Hardware in the loop testing
• MATLAB (with In-House developed plugins)

This role will not include management of people but could involve the coordination of work amongst employees.

To be successful in this role you will need to:

• Apply the principles of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, energy conversion systems and heat transfer to real-world problems,
• Actively engage in product problem solving and product failure mode avoidance,
• Leverage data analysis results drive further optimization of the design and performance.
• Demonstrate effective use of appropriate industry and Cummins specific tools and software
• Consider system requirements and demonstrate a system thinking approach to work
• Demonstrate strong decision‑making skills and a strong customer focus
• Collaborate and communicate effectively (both verbal and written) with key stakeholders and colleagues
