Mechanical Design Engineer - Power Systems

Mechanical Design Engineer - Power Systems

Cummins

Dolj, Romania

DESCRIPTION

Join our High KVA Mechanical Design Team and help shape the next generation of high-power alternators and synchronous machines. This on-site role offers hands-on experience transforming customer requirements into robust, manufacturable designs, working closely with product, manufacturing, and quality teams.

What You Will Do

Design & Product Development

• Create detailed 3D and 2D mechanical designs for synchronous alternators, including assemblies, components, and specifications.
• Prepare rotor layouts, general arrangement drawings, and technical documentation for customer offers and order fulfillment.
• Select materials and mechanical solutions that meet performance, thermal, and structural requirements.

Project & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Evaluate customer specifications and propose feasible engineering solutions.
• Work directly with production, industrialisation, and quotation teams to ensure smooth design-to-manufacturing transitions.
• Support design reviews with clear engineering rationale and documentation.

Standards, Documentation & ERP Integration

• Maintain accurate BOMs, drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Ensure all designs comply with internal standards and customer requirements.
• Integrate mechanical design data into the ERP system for proper part structuring and traceability.

Design Validation & Continuous Improvement

• Perform mechanical calculations and simulations, such as stress analysis and bearing life assessments.
• Support testing and validation activities to confirm design performance.
• Investigate mechanical non-conformities, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
• Apply reference designs and contribute to modular, standardized design approaches.

Teamwork & Knowledge Sharing

• Collaborate with other engineers to ensure consistency across High KVA product lines.
• Share best practices and help refine workflows, tools, and design guidelines.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master’s preferred but not required).
• Solid experience in mechanical design, ideally within heavy machinery, rotating equipment, or power systems.
• Strong foundation in mechanical calculations, engineering principles, and design concepts.
• Proficiency with CAD tools (3D & 2D) and ERP integration.
• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• Advanced English communication skills (spoken and written).
