Combustion Emissions Engineer

Description

Background:

• These processes are applied to specific platform applications to generate a list of features, and then prioritize that list for inclusion in the AECD document for that specific product

• To be effective in this role, you'll rapidly grow your knowledge of engine and aftertreatment system performance and emissions control technologies that are applied across a wide range of Cummins products, including:

• Small displacement engines in portable generators

• High sales volume engines used in automotive applications such as the RAM HD pickup and large semi-trucks

• Large engines used to power locomotives

• Gasoline, propane, natural gas, hydrogen, and diesel fuels

• You'll be accountable for all aspects of the AECD Discovery Process, including continually increasing the content within, and the structure of your feature-list database

• This will include developing a plan for the year with your Cummins/internal stakeholders, interviewing emissions/control feature experts to learn how their features work and to which products they are used, and ultimately working with your stakeholders to

• the prioritized list with your counterpart within US and Canada C&C Team for them to work with the platform SPI teams to develop and integrate content into the AECD package

• You’ll wrap things up with a lessons-learned review: What went well vs. what could have been done more efficiently?

Skills/experiences you gain and grow in this role:

Project leadership / visibility:

This role provides you opportunities to showcase your presentation and project management skills to leaders within the Cummins Product Compliance and Regulatory Affairs organization. You’ll have the opportunity to grow/influence where the ADP project / your work goes and grows.

When first starting you, you'll just “do” the day to day work. But once you've got a solid understanding of the role, you can demonstrate your ability to lead the project and improve the process efficiency by helping the broader PCRA organization to be more effective at meeting our expansive list of compliance-related deliverables.

Technical:

This role will expand your knowledge of essentially all aspects of the emission control system, including Fuel Systems, Air-handling systems, Base engine controls, DOC/DPF/regens, SCR and thermal management, and all emerging technologies related to emissions control. These skills are in high demand within Cummins, ensuring opportunities for career advancement beyond this role.
