Job Summary:
This entry level/early career professional, product focused position tailors electronic and electrical systems for Cummins products. People in these positions will translate product requirements into hardware and software technical requirements that control the operation of Cummins’ products in a variety of customer applications. Additionally, there is responsibility to configure (tune), and complete comprehensive validation testing of the fully integrated hardware and software systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Investigates electronic application and systems problems, understands causal mechanisms, recommends appropriate action, owns problem resolution and documents results with guidance from more experienced team members. Applies and supports the improvement of electronic application and systems development processes and tools. Processes include system specification, modeling and simulation, calibration, Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), and troubleshooting. Application of tools for simulation, calibration, and product life maintenance required. Obtains input from customers, technical and product teams, manufacturing engineers, supplier partners, and other stakeholders to deliver information and recommendations that lead to quality product decisions. Makes decisions in the areas of electronic and electrical system design, requirements, calibration, and test that impact the quality and performance of individual calibrated features and/or components. Owns problem resolution for moderately complex components, products, systems, subsystems or services with technical complexity and ambiguity increasing as experience is gained in the role. Provides independent execution of established work processes and systems, while still developing technology or product knowledge; engages with the improvement of systems and processes. Involves no direct management of people but could involve the coordination and direction of work amongst technicians and/or temporary student employees. Contributes effectively toward team goals, exhibits influence within a work group and continues to develop proficiency in the competency areas critical to success in the role.

Electronic Engineer Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electronic engineer in Indiana?
Most electronic engineer roles in Indiana require a bachelor's degree in electrical or electronics engineering from an accredited program. For senior or independent practice roles, licensure as a Professional Engineer through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency is the recognized credential, which requires passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulating qualifying experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Many positions in defense and manufacturing hire directly from Indiana's engineering universities without requiring PE licensure upfront.
How much do electronic engineers make in Indiana?
Electronic engineers in Indiana earn a median of about $102,670 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,290 for the lowest 10% to over $152,480 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electronic engineers in Indiana?
Employers hiring electronic engineers in Indiana right now include Cummins, Raytheon, and SAIC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Indiana's defense, automotive electronics, and advanced manufacturing sectors consistently drive the largest share of openings across the state.
Which Indiana cities have the most electronic engineer jobs?
Crane, Portage, and Columbus have the most electronic engineer openings in Indiana. Indianapolis draws the broadest range of employers given its size and mix of defense, tech, and manufacturing companies, while Fort Wayne and Kokomo are heavily driven by automotive electronics suppliers and industrial manufacturers with large engineering departments anchored in those metros.
Are there remote electronic engineer jobs in Indiana?
Yes, but they're rare. Electronic engineering work is largely hands-on, involving lab testing, hardware prototyping, and on-site collaboration with manufacturing lines, which limits remote options. About 0% of electronic engineer openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to be in systems architecture, firmware review, or technical program management rather than core hardware design.
How can I get hired as a electronic engineer in Indiana with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for associate or junior engineer roles at Indiana's large defense and automotive employers, which regularly hire new graduates from Purdue University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Companies like Raytheon and Rolls-Royce run structured new-graduate programs that provide rotational experience across hardware, systems, and test engineering. Candidates who complete relevant internships, hold an active Engineer-in-Training certification from the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, or have a senior capstone project in embedded systems or power electronics stand out in entry-level applicant pools.
Where can I find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Indiana?
You can find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Indiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the roles that fit your background and experience level, then apply directly to the ones that match.
