Engineer

• As part of the UK Applied Mechanics department, you will contribute to defining the durability of components and systems used in Cummins power systems, using servo-hydraulic test frames, electromagnetic shakers, motor-driven rigs, and advanced telemetry.
• As a valued placement student, you will have access to our state-of-the-art test facilities and the chance to co-create your own tests with guidance and mentoring from our experienced and supportive engineering team.
• You’ll collaborate with subject matter experts to select and apply the most suitable instrumentation, such as strain gauges, accelerometers, laser vibrometers, and motion amplification cameras, ensuring that your experiments meaningfully demonstrate the physics under test.
• Working within a globally connected function, you’ll share your findings with colleagues around the world, strengthening your communication skills and building confidence in collaborative teamwork.
• You’ll have the opportunity to grow your capabilities in engineering mechanics, digital signal processing, CAD, hands-on instrumentation, and rig development in a nurturing environment.
• The ideal candidate brings curiosity, practical insight, and a thoughtful approach to understanding how forces, temperatures, and pressures impact engineering structures, along with a collaborative and solution-focused mindset.
