Heavy equipment manufacturer scaling manufacturing excellence and data operations
Cummins is a 10,000+ person industrial manufacturer operating eight specialized business units across engines, power generation, turbo technologies, and emissions solutions. The hiring mix—213 engineers, 112 ops roles, 82 manufacturing, and leadership gaps in data (12 headcount) and BI—reveals a company in transition: heavy investment in core manufacturing discipline (TPM, preventive maintenance, Six Sigma) while building data infrastructure to reduce downtime and rework. Stack combines legacy enterprise systems (Oracle, SAP, Allen-Bradley, Siemens) with modern analytics (Power BI, GCP) and simulation tools (ANSYS, MATLAB), indicating a shift toward predictive rather than reactive operations.
