System Simulation Engineer – PureSim & Controls Integration

Description

We are looking for a talented Electronic Systems Product Specialist to join our team specializing in Engineering for Cummins Inc. in Indianapolis, IN.

• Investigates electronic application and system issues, identifies root causes, recommends corrective actions, and documents resolutions to support system reliability.
• Executes system specification, modeling, simulation, calibration, DVP&R activities, and troubleshooting to ensure robust electronic system performance.
• Utilizes advanced simulation, calibration, and lifecycle maintenance tools to drive efficiency and accuracy in product development processes.
• Gathers and synthesizes input from customers, engineering teams, suppliers, manufacturing, and other stakeholders to inform high‑quality product decisions.
• Makes informed decisions in electronic and electrical design, requirements, calibration, and testing that directly impact subsystem performance and product quality.
• Provides independent leadership on smaller projects or complex component ownership efforts, delivering clarity amid technical ambiguity.
• Coordinates technician activities, mentors student employees, and supports knowledge transfer to developing engineers to strengthen team capability.
• Contributes to technical direction within project teams while continually building proficiency in key engineering competency areas.

To be successful in this role you will need the following:

• Mechatronics proficiency:
  Ability to specify and apply electronic hardware/interconnections for measurement and control in complex systems and products.
• Machine integration & optimization:
  Skill in integrating subsystems using standard tools and best practices to optimize performance, reliability, cost, and quality; adept at rapid troubleshooting with proven methods.
• Modeling & simulation expertise:
  Competence using and interpreting computational models to predict functional capability at system, sub‑system, and component levels to inform design decisions.
• Structured problem solving & V&V management:
  Mastery of root‑cause analysis and data‑driven corrective actions; ability to build risk‑based validation plans, negotiate requirements vs. capability, and verify/validate via analytical, simulation, and physical tests.
• Systems requirements & thinking:
  Proficiency in translating stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements, defining acceptance criteria, managing requirement changes across the lifecycle, and applying systems thinking to interfaces, behaviors, and tradeoffs.
• Controls engineering (open/closed loop):
  Ability to specify control architectures, measurements, actuators, and algorithms; configure/understand feedback control features and hardware‑software interactions to achieve desired system states.

• College, university, or equivalent Bachelor's degree in Engineering or appropriate STEM field is required.
• Post-graduate (Master's) degree relevant to this discipline area may be required for select roles.
• This position may require licensing for compliance with export controls or sanctions regulations.

• Prior Senior or Lead Engineer equivalent work experience in a relevant discipline area is required with a demonstrated track record of technical problem solving and quality decision making.
• Knowledge of MS Office tools is preferred.

This position focuses on developing, maintaining, and advancing the processes, models, and tools that support Pure Sim system simulation across controller, powertrain, and vehicle domains. The ideal candidate brings strong controls and system-level understanding, can guide internal users across a broad range of simulation fidelities (MIL/SIL/Cyber Apps/detailed models), and can support integration of Cummins controls within Pure Sim frameworks. The role requires technical leadership in model fidelity management, process ownership, and cross-functional collaboration.

• Develop, own, and maintain processes and tools…
