We are looking for talented Design & Development Engineers to join our team specializing in Engineering for Cummins in UK, Cwmbran.
This is a permanent role, hybrid working 60% onsite with core flexible working hours; however 100% onsite working is expected during the validation phase of projects.
The role will also require 10% domestic and 10% international travel as required.
In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
* Perform brake application reviews, calculations, tolerance studies, and brake-related analyses to support product design decisions.
* Process, analyze, and interpret technical test data to inform product performance, quality, and reliability improvements.
* Investigate product issues by identifying root causes, recommending corrective actions, and owning problem resolution with guidance from senior engineers.
* Execute technical processes including Engineering Standard Work (ESW), iDFMEA, and Failure Incident Review Group (FIRG) participation.
* Develop, coordinate, and oversee test validation programs, including planning, execution, and reporting of results.
* Conduct technical reviews with suppliers and customers to ensure product requirements, risks, and interfaces are clearly understood and managed.
* Mentor and support new engineers or student placements, providing technical guidance and coordination of tasks.
* Coordinate subsystem/component engineering activities across product lifecycle processes (PPT, VPI, CPS), acting as a central technical point between internal teams, suppliers, and manufacturing.
To be successful in this role you will need the following:
* Strong engineering foundation with the ability to alternate between theoretical analysis and hands‑on practical application in automotive environments.
* Solid understanding of materials, stress/strain theory, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for evaluating component performance and durability.
* Effective communication: excellent skills in communication, presentation, and report writing to effectively share progress and final reports, and to collaborate with stakeholders and team members.
* Familiarity with modern engineering tools and practices; foreign language proficiency considered a plus for global collaboration.
* Intellectual property: proposing and preparing new ideas for invention disclosures and patent filings will protect and advance the company’s technological innovations.
Education / Experience
* 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 is desirable but not essential.
* Technical expertise: a good foundation in Mechanical or Automotive engineering, along with relevant design and development experience. Proficiency in tools like Creo and Windchill, and a solid understanding of materials, stress/strain theory, and FE analysis are essential.
Nice To Have But Not Required
* Regulatory and testing knowledge: a thorough understanding of European and US brake legislation, experience with brake test methods and procedures, and knowledge of manufacturing methods and processes to ensure compliance and quality in product development.
* Experience in the automotive sector, foundation brake (disc & drum) / braking system knowledge.
* Experience with programming, Python / code writing for data acquisition.
