This entry level/early career professional, dual customer/product focused position serves as the technical liaison between OEMs and represents our customers during new product development programs. Applying Cummins’ products to customer vehicles requires the development of technical specifications, implementing new design configurations, and delivering high performance, low-cost equipment and system solutions integrated with customers’ products in a variety of applications. Integrating high quality and optimized customer solutions requires the interaction with sales and marketing teams.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

PROBLEM RESOLUTION : Investigate integration and installation issues, understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate actions, and document results. Collaborate with experienced team members to resolve problems effectively.

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT : Support processes like Installation Quality Assurance, OEM integration, and product selection. Leverage tools such as Advisor, Cummins OnLine Specifications (COLS), and Global Customer Engineering (GCE) to enhance decision-making quality.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT : Obtain input from Subject Matter Experts and Value Package Introduction (VPI) Teams. Deliver product data and installation requirements to Application Engineers and OEMs, ensuring effective communication and alignment.

STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING : Make critical decisions related to product selection, design, and integration. Your choices impact OEM machine performance, optimization, and overall quality.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT : Develop strong working relationships with customer technical counterparts. Serve as their primary liaison, delivering product technical information, managing specifications, and addressing installation issues.

PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE AND ADVOCACY : Apply deep product, application, and market knowledge. Translate customer needs into functional product requirements and advocate for customer/market interests during new product development and design processes.

QUALITY ASSURANCE : Ensure correct product application and installation to meet customer system requirements. Validate prototype machine performance and uphold Cummins’ quality standards.

PROBLEM OWNERSHIP AND COLLABORATION : Own moderately complex problem resolution. Execute established work processes independently while contributing to team goals and influencing within your work group.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING:

Machine Integration and Optimization - Combines various parts or sub-systems into a whole to achieve the output most desired by the customer; applies Cummins' installation requirements using our standard tools, processes and identified best practices to ensure optimization of performance, reliability, cost and quality; analyzes technical issues using proven problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques for rapid resolution.

Machine Operation and Support - Evaluates the operation of the system by the user through monitoring system performance, addressing system failures or performance concerns, reacting to evolving user needs, and technology changes; proactively and systematically responds to operational issues which contribute significantly to user satisfaction and operational cost management.

Product Application Support - Ensures new product information is available by developing and managing accurate and complete technical content in a timely manner to support our customers and the business; provides new options through management of technical systems to support sales to all of our markets; defines installation requirements and develops innovative tools with in-depth, cross-system knowledge and industry experience for successful design and integration.

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 Installation Quality - Identifies and applies ways to improve machine integration to minimize rework and deliver the best product; applies standard Cummins processes based on the experience and knowledge of product installation experts; ensures that products are installed correctly and meet requirements through an installation review process.

Product Problem Solving - Solves product problems using a process that protects the customer; determines the assignable cause; implements robust, data-based solutions; and identifies the systemic root causes and recommended actions to prevent problem reoccurrence.

Product Selection - Guides customers to the best product offerings for their markets and applications; offers best-fit solutions to customers by optimizing product specifications to make Cummins' offerings easy to install into new applications; represents features and benefits of products in terms that customers understand; ensures Cummins' products aren't misapplied through using Cummins' technical information systems, local and application requirements.

Technical Customer Management - Represents Cummins to our customers by being the interface for all technical aspects; provides engineering data, documentation and training to customers to support the design and integration of equipment; ensures that the customer's business is not interrupted by managing Cummins' product changes through the use of our change processes and regular communications with Product Development and the customer.

Collaborates - Building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives.

Self-development - Actively seeking new ways to grow and be challenged using both formal and informal development channels.

Values differences - Recognizing the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization.

Cross-Functional Design Integration - Translates the value package requirements that include the voices of many stakeholders into virtual designs, and communicates the capability of the design through an approved cross-functional design review.

Product Verification and Validation Management - Develops product systems validation plans from a variety of inputs to identify failure modes, while managing product risk and relative priority; negotiates product requirements against capability to guide project scope; evaluates analytical, simulation and physical test results to verify product capability and validate requirements; assesses legacy versus proposed system solution capabilities and produces recommendations with technical documentation to support product decisions.

System Requirements Engineering - Uses appropriate methods and tools to translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements to which designs are developed; establishes acceptance criteria for the system of interest through analysis, allocation and negotiation; tracks the status of requirements throughout the system lifecycle; assesses the impact of changes to system requirements on project scope, schedule, and resources; creates and maintains information linkages to related artifacts.

Systems Thinking - Defines the system of interest by drawing the boundaries, identifying its context within its environment, its interfaces, and that it has a lifecycle to aid in planning the problem statement, scope and deliverables ; analyzes linkages and interactions between elements that comprise the system of interest by using appropriate methods, models and integration of outcomes to understand the system, predict its behavior and devise modifications to it in order to produce the desired effects.

Technical Documentation - Documents information based on knowledge gained as part of technical function activities; communicates to stakeholders with the goal of enabling improved technical productivity and effective knowledge transfer to others who were not originally part of the initial learning.
