**Technical Systems Integration (TSI) – School to Work**
Engine Business Unit (EBU)
**Program Overview**
This program provides hands-on experience in **system-level engineering and early product development** within Cummins’ Technical Systems Integration (TSI) team.
TSI operates between research and product execution:
+ Research & Technology explores early concepts
+ **TSI develops and integrates systems (TRL 4–5)**
+ Product teams execute final designs
In this role, you will work on real engineering problems where early decisions shape product performance, cost, and risk.
**What You’ll Do**
During the program, you will:
+ Support **system-level engineering activities** , including data analysis, performance evaluation, and component/system interactions
+ Assist with **validation and testing activities** , helping interpret results and identify insights
+ Work across teams (engineering, simulation, test) to support **integration and decision-making**
+ Contribute to improving engineering workflows using **data, automation, and emerging tools such as Agentic AI**
+ Help translate engineering data into **clear recommendations for design or development decisions**
**What You’ll Learn**
+ How early-stage engineering decisions are made before product launch
+ How different engineering disciplines come together at the **system level**
+ How data and tools are used to improve engineering decisions
+ How emerging technologies like **Agentic AI** can support engineering analysis and productivity
**Basic Qualifications**
+ Strong interest in **systems, engines, or product development**
+ Basic understanding of engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, fluid systems, mechanics, etc.)
+ Experience with data analysis tools (Excel, MATLAB, Python, or similar)
**Preferred Qualifications**
+ Exposure to testing, validation, or engineering projects
+ Familiarity with structured problem-solving methods
+ Interest in **data-driven engineering or AI-enabled tools**
+ Strong communication and teamwork skills
**What Makes This Role Different**
This is not a traditional school to work program focused only on execution or testing.
You will gain exposure to:
+ **System-level thinking**
+ Early-stage product decisions
+ Cross-functional engineering work
+ The use of **Agentic AI and advanced tools** to improve how engineering is done
