We are looking for a talented School to Work – Engineering to join our team specializing in Engineering for our Cummins Inc. facility in Troy, MI

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

  • · Develop accurate 3D CAD models and detailed 2D drawings (using Creo Parametric) to support the design and production release of commercial vehicle components and systems.
  • · Support the implementation of engineering changes by updating CAD data, preparing complete drawing packages, and executing revisions through Windchill change management.
  • · Conduct packaging and feasibility studies to ensure designs integrate effectively within axle, suspension, and drivetrain systems.
  • · Collaborate closely with product engineers and senior designers to refine designs and deliver high-quality, release-ready documentation.
  • · Contribute to the timely release of drawing packages by ensuring all specifications, tolerances, and technical requirements are clearly defined.
  • · Build strong cross-functional relationships to improve communication, streamline workflows, and support efficient product development.
  • · Continuously enhance technical capability by applying and learning GD&T principles and advancing CAD modeling proficiency.
  • · Leverage strong communication skills and attention to detail to ensure accuracy, alignment, and successful execution across all design deliverables.

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

  • Strong proficiency in CAD modeling (preferably Creo Parametric) and the ability to create precise 3D models and 2D drawings for complex vehicle components.
  • Willingness to learn and apply GD&T principles to ensure drawings meet engineering, manufacturing, and quality standards.
  • Attention to detail and accuracy when implementing engineering changes, updating drawings, and managing revisions in Windchill.
  • Effective communication and collaboration skills to work seamlessly with product engineers, designers, and cross-functional teams.
  • Problem-solving mindset with the ability to perform packaging and feasibility studies to ensure designs integrate successfully within vehicle systems.

Overview:

The primary responsibility is to design and production release CAD models and 2D drawings under Sr. Designer supervision. The position entails the design of commercial vehicle products that include non-drive front steer axles, front and rear drive axles, suspensions, and transfer cases. This person will interface with product engineers and designers.

Principle Accountabilities:

  • Assist in the implementation of engineering changes, which might include updating CAD models and 2D drawings, assembling drawing packages with relevant information, and executing through Windchill change management system.
  • Create solid modeling, layouts, and drawings necessary for product design of commercial vehicle components, assemblies, and systems. This will include the use of CAE tools; Creo Parametric.
  • Perform CAD model packaging studies to ensure engineering changes are feasible.
  • Work along with other designers and engineers to release detailed drawing packages.
  • Establish good working relationships with team members, and various internal groups.

Requirements:

  • High School diploma – preferred classes to include machine shop, wood shop, or other hands-on trade classes.
  • Enrolled in a Product Design & Development type curriculum at a 2-year or 4-year accredited college or university.
  • Interested in 3D design and modelling.
  • Willing to learn GD&T
  • Familiar with a CAD modeling software (Solidworks, Catia, UG, etc.) Preference is working knowledge of Creo Parametric.
  • Extremely good communication skills of all types.
  • Well versed with all MS Windows software
