Mechatronics Engineer – Chassis Systems

• Partner with Software Controls & Electronics team within CDBS (Cummins Drivetrain and Braking Systems) to ensure system level alignment and proper interface definition.
• Provide hardware and sensing details to support software feature development and system behavior modeling.
• Coordinate with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust integration.

• Define prototype needs and lead early stage build/test activities.
• Conduct bench, dyno, and vehicle level testing to evaluate sensing concepts and system performance.
• Troubleshoot integration issues across mechanical, electrical, and system domains.

• Work with suppliers to evaluate sensing technologies, hardware capabilities, and integration requirements.
• Support supplier selection and technical reviews for sensors, ECUs, and mechatronic components.

• Drive cross functional alignment on new technology initiatives.
• Mentor junior engineers in systems thinking, requirements development, and mechatronic integration.
• Support long-term product strategy by identifying emerging sensing and mechatronic opportunities.

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

• Deep Technical Expertise: A solid engineering foundation (Mechanical, Mechatronics, Electrical, or Systems) with extensive experience in design, mechatronics, sensing systems, drivetrain/braking/EPS systems, and vehicle level system behavior.
• Advanced Analytical & Modeling Skills: Experience, Familiarity with HIL testing, Trucksim software, Adams or MotionView Software applications
• Systems Thinking & Cross Functional Integration: Strong capability to manage requirements, understand CAN based communication, and collaborate effectively across mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to drive cohesive system solutions.
• Clear Communication & Organizational Strength: Proficiency with structured requirements tools (Polarion, DOORS, Jama) and the communication, documentation, and coordination skills needed to align stakeholders and guide system level decisions

• 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.

• Experience supporting ISO 26262 functional safety activities.
• Background in commercial vehicle systems (heavy/medium duty trucks, specialty, or defense).
• Familiarity with electronics and software development processes (without being the developer).
• Experience with Adams or MotionView Applications preferred.
• 7+ years of experience in mechatronics, sensing systems, or system level engineering roles.
• Strong background in sensing technologies, hardware integration, and vehicle level system behavior.
• Experience with drivetrain, braking systems, and/or electric power steering (EPS).
• Proficiency in structured requirements management tools (Polarion, DOORS, Jama, etc.).
• Ability to analyze large datasets, extract insights, identify trends, and draw engineering conclusions to guide concept development and system decisions.
• Experience with data acquisition systems and data driven troubleshooting.
• Strong systems thinking mindset with the ability to coordinate across mechanical, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and organizational skills.
