Electronic Systems Technical Specialist - Tools

The System Requirements Engineer is responsible for translating business and stakeholder needs into clear, complete, and verifiable technical requirements for electronic tools and embedded software systems. The role involves defining functional and non-functional requirements, documenting system interfaces and boundaries, identifying failure cases, supporting FMEA activities, and leading structured problem-solving with cross-functional stakeholders.

The position works closely with product, software development, testing, supplier, and customer teams to ensure requirements are well understood, traceable, and aligned with product and business needs. The role also contributes to the development, verification, and continuous improvement of electronic tools and associated engineering processes.

• Understand business, customer, and stakeholder needs and translate them into clear functional and non-functional technical requirements .
• Create, document, review, and maintain System Requirement Specifications (SRS) and Functional Requirement Specifications (FRS) .
• Analyze component and supplier interfaces, including libraries, to identify gaps, dependencies, and requirements for changing product needs.
• Define system boundaries, interfaces, dependencies, and interactions through boundary diagrams, flow charts, and system-level documentation .
• Identify potential failure cases during requirements development and support the preparation and review of FMEA documents.
• Establish acceptance criteria and ensure requirements are complete, consistent, testable, and traceable throughout the product lifecycle.
• Lead structured problem-solving activities with customers, development, testing, and other key stakeholders to resolve technical issues and close knowledge gaps.
• Investigate electronic tools and software-related problems, identify causal mechanisms, recommend solutions, and document problem resolution.
• Collaborate with product and software development teams to support the delivery and verification of software features, components, builds, and engineering tools.
• Support requirements, design, development, testing, and release activities for electronic tools used in the development, service, and manufacturing of Cummins products.
• Participate in system architecture, requirements, design, and verification discussions and provide technical recommendations.
• Assess the impact of requirement changes on project scope, schedule, resources, and related system components.
• Support product verification and validation by ensuring requirements are linked to appropriate test cases and acceptance criteria.
• Contribute to the improvement of requirements engineering processes, tools, and work practices.
• Work effectively with global cross-functional teams and take ownership of assigned deliverables to ensure timely completion.
• Support knowledge sharing and provide guidance to less-experienced engineers and team members as required.
