QUALIFICATIONS

What We’re Looking For

You’re someone who thrives in both technical problem-solving and hands-on environments. The ideal candidate will bring:

**Familiarity with signal communication** —especially CAN networks—with working knowledge of **CANalyzer** and **PCAN** for system monitoring, diagnostics, and test article control.

**Familiarity with instrumentation** —especially when instrumentation needs to be landed during the build process. Thermocouples, IP tape is typical.

**Versatility across environments** —from workshop and lab benches to test cells and office collaboration spaces, with a working knowledge of Columbus-based technical support facilities and how to move work through those groups.

**Adaptability in fast-paced settings** , with the ability to move projects forward even when requirements are ambiguous—asking the right questions and driving clarity where it’s needed.

**High Voltage readiness** —working around HV battery systems is part of the role. You’ll complete Cummins-specific training to become HV-authorised, enabling you to safely manage behind-the-contactors situations where live electrical work is required to make the system safe.

**Experience with test environments** such as LabVIEW or Cyflex (familiarity with AVL test equipment is a plus, but not required—an eagerness to learn is what matters most).

**Support for post-test teardown** of HV battery systems, applying insights to improve future builds and tests.

**Collaboration across the full VPI process** , including engagement with manufacturing teams during all phases of battery builds.

**Job** Engineering

**Organization** Cummins Inc.

**Role Category** On-site
