We are looking for a talented Product Design Technician - Level IV to join our team specializing in Engineering for our Cummins Inc. facility in Jamestown, NY.
In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
- Lead with authority and clarity. Guide Product Design Technicians, prioritize work effectively, and ensure engineering requests are ready for execution—setting the tone for team
- Apply specialized design knowledge to elevate product quality. Your expertise in creating and maintaining specifications ensures that Cummins products meet or exceed company, industry, and global standards.
- Ensure drawing and model integrity from concept to release. Checking models and drawings before release and participating in Drawing Quality Reviews safeguards the accuracy and reliability of every design.
- Mentor and train designers across experience levels. Foster growth and consistency by sharing your knowledge, coaching others, and reinforcing best practices in design and documentation.
- Create assemblies and concept models that ensure seamless fit and function. Collaborating with engineering, you will generate designs that integrate perfectly with mating parts and support efficient manufacturing.
- Analyze and validate designs using cutting-edge tools. Your ability to assess design adequacy will reduce errors, improve performance, and streamline the development process.
- Evaluate engineering risks to strengthen product reliability. By applying structured methods (such as FMEA, fault tree analysis, or hazard assessments), you will identify potential failure modes early and recommend mitigation strategies that protect performance and safety.
Responsibilities
To be successful in this role you will need the following:
- Deep mechanical systems knowledge fuels innovative design. You must understand how mechanical systems behave across environments and lifecycle stages to create designs that meet both Cummins and customer expectations.

- Strong configuration and change management keeps product data aligned and secure. Success requires tracking and controlling design changes from concept to obsolescence, maintaining the integrity of product baselines throughout.
- Lifecycle thinking ensures designs are robust and future-proof. By considering customer needs in various operating conditions, you’ll create systems that perform reliably over time and across use cases.
- Cross-functional communication bridges design with execution. You must tailor your messaging to different audiences to ensure alignment and clarity at every stage.
- System-level design thinking connects parts to the whole. Your ability to represent architectural and product-level concepts ensures that individual components integrate seamlessly into larger systems.
- Commitment to standards drives consistency and quality. Adhering to Cummins, industry, national, and international standards guarantees that your work meets the highest benchmarks of excellence.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Manufacturing Engineer Jobs at Cummins Jobs
Align your degree to Cummins plant functions
Cummins Manufacturing Engineer roles typically require a degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering. Confirm your transcript reflects one of these fields before applying, since specialty occupation determinations hinge on degree-to-role alignment, not just job experience.
Target plant-specific openings over corporate roles
Cummins posts Manufacturing Engineer roles tied to specific facilities, not just headquarters. Plant-based positions, especially in engine and filtration manufacturing, have historically driven the most sponsorship activity, so filtering by facility type sharpens your targeting.
Clarify LCA timing before accepting an offer
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with the DOL before USCIS can process your H-1B petition. Ask your Cummins recruiter where they are in the LCA process so you can accurately plan your start date.
Use Migrate Mate to surface current openings
Cummins lists Manufacturing Engineer roles across multiple facilities and business units, making it easy to miss relevant postings. Search Migrate Mate to filter open positions by visa sponsorship eligibility and location in one place.
Prepare PERM documentation early for green card timelines
Cummins supports EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship for Manufacturing Engineers, which requires a PERM labor certification from the DOL. Gathering performance records, transcripts, and employment verification early prevents delays when your employer initiates the process.
Confirm OPT STEM extension eligibility before your cap gap
If you are on F-1 OPT and your H-1B is selected in the lottery, your cap-gap period protects your status until October 1. Verify that Cummins is enrolled in E-Verify, which is required for STEM OPT extensions, before your standard OPT expiration.

Does Cummins sponsor H-1B visas for Manufacturing Engineers?
Yes, Cummins sponsors H-1B visas for Manufacturing Engineers. The company has a consistent track record of supporting this role through the H-1B process, including filing the required Labor Condition Application with the DOL and submitting the I-129 petition to USCIS. Sponsorship is typically tied to a specific facility and position, so confirming sponsorship intent early in the hiring process is recommended.
Which visa types does Cummins commonly use for Manufacturing Engineers?
Cummins sponsors Manufacturing Engineers under several visa categories, including H-1B for specialty occupation workers, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering roles, and F-1 OPT and CPT for students in active degree programs. The company also supports EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant visa pathways, including PERM labor certification, for engineers pursuing permanent residence.
What qualifications does Cummins expect for Manufacturing Engineer roles?
Most Manufacturing Engineer roles at Cummins require a bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering. Hands-on experience with process improvement methodologies such as Six Sigma or lean manufacturing is commonly expected. Roles at specific facilities may also require familiarity with engine assembly, filtration systems, or power generation processes depending on the plant's product line.
How do I apply for Manufacturing Engineer jobs at Cummins?
Applications go through Cummins' careers portal, where roles are listed by facility and business unit. To find positions that are open to visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate to filter current Cummins Manufacturing Engineer openings by sponsorship eligibility. Once you identify a target role, apply directly and confirm sponsorship intent with the recruiter before advancing through interviews.
How do I plan my timeline for H-1B sponsorship at Cummins?
H-1B registration opens in March each year, with employment starting no earlier than October 1 if selected. If you are on F-1 OPT, your cap-gap provision covers the period between OPT expiration and October 1. Cummins typically initiates the LCA filing with the DOL several weeks before the USCIS petition deadline, so aligning your offer acceptance to that window is important.
