$77K/yr - $115K/yrCummins Inc. is a global leader in power solutions, and they are seeking an Electronic Systems Engineer - Software to create software integral to their products. This role involves understanding stakeholder requirements, developing specifications, and being responsible for the design, implementation, testing, and release of software controlling Cummins’ products.
Automotive
Responsibilities
Investigates product software problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution, and documents results
Applies and supports the improvement of product software development processes and tools
Processes include coding, compiling and test
Tools include code editors, integration tools, static analysis tools, compilers and hardware in the loop test tools
Obtains input and collaborates with product and software development teams and delivers verified software features, components, builds to product teams
Uses systems knowledge and expertise to make decisions in the areas of software requirements, architecture, design, and test that impact the quality and performance of software builds, product lines (platforms) and management of cross-BU integration and coordination
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
Responsibile for interacting and collaborating with cross-functional teams
Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes
Involves minimal direct management of people, but could involve the coordination and direction of work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees
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
Mitigates potential product failure modes, by identifying interfaces, functions, functional requirements, interactions, control factors, noise factors, and prioritized potential failure modes and potential failure causes for the system of interest to effectively and efficiently improve the reliability of Cummins’ products
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
Creates and develops a holistic product platform including key architectural feature and function variants needed to align with market level product plans of future target markets; generates alternative architectures traceable to the requirements and performs trade-off analysis in collaboration with life-cycle stakeholders to ensure a balanced and optimum platform; communicates and maintains traceable information and plans executed by product development teams
Constructs product software using industry best practices and robust software engineering principles; verifies software updates to ensure quality products
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
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
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
Building partnerships and working collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives
Developing and delivering multi-mode communications that convey a clear understanding of the unique needs of different audiences
Making good and timely decisions that keep the organization moving forward
Consistently achieving results, even under tough circumstances
Actively seeking new ways to grow and be challenged using both formal and informal development channels
Recognizing the value that different perspectives and cultures bring to an organization
Analyzes technical data using descriptive statistics, probability distributions, graphical analysis, and statistical inference (population and sample, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing); models relationships between response and independent variables using analysis of variance, regression, and design of experiments to make rigorous, data-based decisions
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
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
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
Plans, schedules, coordinates and executes the activities involved in developing a product to a respectively aligned hierarchy of requirements and technical profiles; monitors and communicates across functional boundaries to meet project resource and quality expectations; ensures product capability meets or exceeds expectations and takes mitigating actions when project risks are higher than expected; understands the full product life cycle process and stakeholders
