Product Systems Design Engineer

Product System Design Engineer

We are looking for a talented Product System Design Engineer to join our team in Engineering in De Pere, WI.

• Drive timely resolution of VPI and field issues by identifying root causes, recommending corrective actions, and owning design solutions through to closure.
• Deliver high-quality design decisions by applying standard engineering processes (DFMEA, Design Reviews, validation checklists) and leveraging tools such as CREO and ANSYS.
• Strengthen product performance by supporting concept selection, optimization, and specification development across components and subsystems.
• Influence cross-functional alignment by communicating clear design intent through structured Design Review packages and engaging technical stakeholders.
• Improve product reliability and quality by incorporating validation and analysis insights into design refinements and decision-making.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by executing established engineering processes while identifying opportunities to enhance tools, systems, and workflows.
• Build technical capability by independently managing moderately complex design challenges and expanding knowledge of products, systems, and applications.
• Enhance team effectiveness by collaborating across disciplines, coordinating with technicians or support resources, and contributing to shared engineering and program goals.

• Integrate cross-functional requirements into design solutions by translating stakeholder needs into validated system designs and clearly communicating design capability through structured design reviews.
• Apply strong mechanical design and analysis skills by developing accurate CAD models and leveraging simulation tools (FEA, DVA) to inform design decisions and optimize performance.
• Design robust mechanical systems by considering full lifecycle requirements (performance, durability, manufacturability, serviceability, and cost) to meet both customer and business needs.
• Develop precise engineering specifications by creating detailed models, drawings, and BOMs that ensure manufacturability, quality, and alignment with industry and Cummins standards.
• Leverage simulation and modeling to drive decisions by using analytical tools to predict product performance and validate designs against system and component-level requirements.
• Demonstrate strong product problem‑solving capability by identifying root causes, implementing data‑driven corrective actions, and preventing recurrence through systemic improvements.
• Execute with discipline across the product lifecycle by managing requirements, configuration, and change control while ensuring alignment to program timelines, quality targets, and stakeholder expectations.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively by working across functions, making timely decisions, documenting technical insights, and continuously developing skills while valuing diverse perspectives.

• Bachelor's degree in an appropriate STEM field, or equivalent experience, is required.
• This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.

• Significant relevant experience required, including managerial and budgetary experience.

• Role requires approx. 60% of time spent working in the DePere WI design/upfit facility.
• Design and layout using 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) – Creo preferred.
• Create 2D drawings/layouts/schematics from 3D CAD models, markups, sketches.
• Select materials and make drawing changes.
• Size Air intake, Exhaust, and other sub-systems used on engines to meet Cummins requirements.
• Create bill of materials for release to the Cummins business system.
• Calculate and gather information to perform calculations for design of systems.
• Communicate with vendors and customers to verify correct design calculations and customer specifications.
• Assist manufacturing with technical issues, with direction from staff.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Read and interpret operating and maintenance instructions and procedure manuals.
• Interpret a variety of instructions furnished in a variety of forms.
