The 2026 Engineering Rotational Development Program places entry-level engineers within Caterpillar's Product Development team for a 12 to 18-month rotational experience. Participants rotate through diverse engineering disciplines including product design, simulation, controls development, embedded software, and process engineering to solve real-world manufacturing challenges. Key responsibilities involve designing components, analyzing system performance, developing control algorithms, and validating electronic systems alongside cross-functional teams. The program is appealing for its structured mentorship, early ownership of meaningful projects, and the opportunity to build a career at a global leader in sustainable technology. This full-time, in-person role is primarily based in Peoria, Illinois, with relocation support available, offering a collaborative environment focused on professional growth and innovation.
