AI​/ML Systems Engineer

Join to apply for the AI/ML Systems Engineer role at Cummins Inc.

This entry level/early career professional, product focused position performs established technical tasks at the product and cross‑business integration level for current and future products within a given business unit or corporate area. The role involves work across many steps in the product life cycle and often acts as a central point of coordination and decision making between product engineers, product line engineers, customer teams, purchasing, suppliers and manufacturing.

Investigates product problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members. Main focus will include working in business processes of PPT, VPI or CPS and executing technical processes such as ESW, iDFMEA, FIRG while using tools such as 7‑step problem solving, design review checklist and other specialized tools required to support the processes and enable high quality decision making.

Obtains input from stakeholders such as technical managers, project leaders, other product and manufacturing engineers and supplier partners to deliver information and recommendations that lead to quality product decisions.

Applies academic knowledge and existing experience to take action and make decisions that progress projects forward without sacrificing project quality expectations. Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems, while developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes. Contributes effectively toward team goals, exhibits influence within a work group and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.

Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems or services with technical complexity and ambiguity increasing as experience is gained in the role. Involves minimal direct management of people, but could involve coordination of work among technicians and/or temporary student employees.

• Cross‑Functional Design Integration – Translates the value package requirements that include stakeholders’ voices into virtual designs, and communicates the capability of the design through an approved cross‑functional design review.
• Product Failure Mode Avoidance – Mitigates potential product failure modes by identifying interfaces, functions, functional requirements, interactions, control factors, noise factors, and prioritized potential failure modes and causes.
• Product Function Modeling, Simulation and Analysis – Impacts product design decisions through the utilization and/or interpretation of computational tools and methods that predict the capability of a product’s function relative to its system, sub‑system and/or component level requirements.
• Product Interface Management and Integration – Identifies and analyzes interfaces and interactions across system boundaries, controls interactions, and integrates system elements by creating an integration plan.
• Product Problem Solving – Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer, determines assignable causes, implements data‑based solutions, and identifies systemic root causes and recommended actions.
• Product Verification and Validation Management – Develops product system validation plans, manages product risk, negotiates requirements against capability, evaluates analytics and test results, and supports product decisions.
• System Requirements Engineering – Translates stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements, establishes acceptance criteria, tracks status throughout lifecycle, and assesses impact of changes.
• Systems Thinking – Defines system boundaries, context, interfaces, and lifecycle, analyzes interactions, and predicts behavior.
• Collaborates – Builds partnerships and works collaboratively to meet shared objectives.
• Communicates Effectively – Delivers clearli>
• Decision Quality – Makes timely decisions that move the organization forward.
• Drives Results – Consistently achieves results under tough…
