Product Design Engineering Product Advisors #IN1211
Cummins Turbo Technologies
Create optimized design concepts and mechanical design specifications considering application, cost, weight, performance, reliability, durability, manufacturing, assembly, and serviceability. Communicate the capability of a design concept to meet cross-functional requirements, including assessment of alternative and competitive design concepts, and lead the development of system-level requirements by working effectively with other engineering disciplines, including those to resolve current product deficiencies. Obtain input and lead the negotiation with cross-functional and cross-discipline technical experts and senior-level designs to communicate the component and subsystem design intent through a thorough Design Review package to the Product Preceding Technology (PPT) or Value Package Introduction (VPI) team requiring a holistic assessment for various design concepts. Apply and lead the execution of processes including Critical Design Decisions, System Design and Validation Consideration Checklist, Design Review and tools such as IDFMEA, GD&T, CREO, and ANSYS Workbench required to enable high quality subsystem-level design decision making and design refinement. Lead the design decision making in the areas of complex subsystem and system-level design concept selection, concept optimization, and design specifications that impact customers targeted to be served by a given Product Preceding Technology (PPT) or Value Package Introduction (VPI) initiative. Translate the value package requirements that include the voices of many stakeholders into virtual designs, and communicate the capability and integration of the design through an approved cross-functional design review. Utilize Mechanical Design of Mechanical Systems for design requirements of all lifecycle stages by considering the customer requirements in different operating environments to ensure a robust system. Create Computer Aided Design models in accordance with company standards to represent architectural or product level system design concepts and to enable completion of various system-level computer analyses such as Dimensional Variation Analysis and Finite Element Analysis. Utilize System Requirements Engineering to translate stakeholder needs into verifiable requirements to which designs are developed and establish acceptance criteria for the system of interest through analysis, allocation and negotiation. Impact product design decisions through the utilization and interpretation of computational tools and methods that predict the capability of a product’s function relative to its system, sub-system or component level requirements as part of Product Function Modeling, Simulation and Analysis. Create and develop a holistic product platform including key architectural feature and function variants needed to align with market level product plans of future target markets. Generate alternative architectures traceable to the requirements and perform trade-off analysis in collaboration with lifecycle stakeholders to ensure a balanced optimum and optimum platform. Communicate and maintain traceable information and plans executed by product development teams.
