What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Engineer position at Schneider Electric?
What The Role Entails
In a high-agility and fast-paced environment, decisions, tools, and engineering improvements are expected to be implemented and deployed within months of learning. In this challenging setting, you will be expected to independently design, develop, detail, and release mechanical parts, assemblies, junctions, connections, and equipment used within modular data center solutions across North American Manufacturing.
You will be responsible for strengthening design ownership, drawing integrity, manufacturability, and engineering definition by creating and maintaining 3D models and technical drawings utilizing DfMA principles and engineering standards.
You will report to the Systems Engineering Manager and work closely with the Mechanical, Electrical, Design, Manufacturing, and Product Data Engineering teams to review, refine, and release designs for project-specific applications.
Unlike the co-op position, this role is expected to independently take designs from an identified engineering requirement through modeling, detailing, design review, engineering release, and manufacturing support, escalating complex technical decisions when necessary.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role means project-specific and proprietary designs are fully defined, manufacturable, traceable, and documented to a level where they can be consistently produced by our internal manufacturing plants or outsourced to qualified suppliers and fabrication shops.
A successful Product Engineer becomes a reliable technical owner of the designs assigned to them, reducing ambiguity between Engineering and Manufacturing while improving the completeness, repeatability, and quality of engineering deliverables.
