How did you discover Cummins as a place to develop your career? I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands, troubleshooting, creating new processes. I got my associate degree at Ivy Tech in Columbus, Indiana, and I’m currently working on my bachelor’s in engineering technology at Indiana State University. I have two brothers who work at Cummins, one as a Lead Engineer and the other as an Executi

Take us through your career journey up to this point. My first job was as a Quality Technician at Hydrogenics in 2013. In 2019, Hydrogenics was acquired by Cummins as part of the New Power business. It feels like I've been with Cummins my entire career. To me, Cummins is more like a family than a workplace. From day one, the managers were helpful and believed in my strengths which motivated and

What is it about your job that motivates you?  My first motivation for what I do, which is also the reason why I applied to work for Cummins, is that I wanted to work on clean energy technology that will shape decarbonization across many different sectors. I’m truly passionate about the journey of the technological evolution that we’re living in. We’re in the middle of this transition betw

From the farm to the financial world and college to career, Cummins has always been part of Anna Neese’s life as long as she can remember. “Cummins is headquartered in Indiana and I grew up on a farm in Indiana. So, we always had Cummins tractors, semis, pick-up trucks, what have you on the farm. So, I was very familiar with the Cummins name and that logo.” Little did she know it then, but that

But she's not just an avid reader - she's a storyteller in her own right.  As a data analyst, Kanwulia uses numbers as her medium for storytelling. She uses engineering and analysis to find the stories within engine data, bringing to light important in

What compelled you to work for New Power when you were so close to retirement? I’ve been an engineer for over 30 years and worked at Cummins for over nine. I was ready to retire in the summer of 2019 and go explore the U.K. with my husband. We had it all planned out, but then I met Kendra Eads, New Power’s Americas and Europe Engineer Lead. She knocked on that figurative door I was about to wal

 “The world is your oyster.” That’s how Jeet Roy describes his time at Cummins so far. “The company truly supports you on your career journey – opening you up to all these opportunities to grow both personally and professionally.” Jeet points to his recent career move from IT to HR as a great example of what he means. “I found myself in IT doing a lot of reporting and data analysis. So, wh

Danielle Lewis discovered her curiosity for math and science at a very young age. So, it was no surprise that when it came time to choose a career path, she decided to enroll in a dual-degree engineering program with Oakwood University and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, AL. Shortly after, she joined Cummins in 2016 and entered the Engineering Development Program. Through her experience i

Growing up, Kim would accompany her father to construction sites and be fascinated by how things were built from scratch. She was so captivated by it in fact that when her dad gifted her a robotic dog as a young child, she took it completely apart and rebuilt it. That may not have been the toy dog's intended purpose, but it sparked a passion in Kim for reverse engineering. A Tennessee native, K

Isaac Dankwah’s first Indiana winter was a rude awakening. Growing up in Ghana, Isaac never had to stock his closet with jackets and coats. But after coming to the U.S. to attend college at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, he was met with one of the most brutal winters in the 21st century. “Of course I first came to Indiana at the beginning of 2014, which happened to be one of the
