Engineer II

Schneider Electric has a meaningful opportunity available for an Engineer II (Continuous Engineering) for our Power Products division. You will work for a company consistently rated by Fortune as one of the “Great Places to Work”, by Glassdoor as “Best Places To Work” and by TIME as the #1 “Most Sustainable Company in the World.”

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer II for our Cedar Rapids, Iowa Design Center to support the maintenance and optimization of the Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) portfolio, with knowledge of the UL 489 standard.

• Apply methodical problem-solving techniques (e.g., 5 Whys) and tools (e.g., Fishbone Diagram) to investigate and resolve product and manufacturing issues.

• Create and execute verification and validation of test plans in Schneider Electric laboratories, with general guidance for complex activities.

• Perform engineering analysis by interpreting thermal, electromagnetic, dynamic, and structural test results to evaluate product performance, quality, and reliability.

• Support compliance with product ratings, specifications, and applicable standard requirements (UL, CSA, NOM, CCC, and IEC).

• Synthesize data into clear technical reports that communicate methods, results, conclusions, and recommendations to peers and stakeholders.

• Execute assigned Circuit Breaker projects and work packages to maintain and optimize the product offer. Track activities, identify risks, and communicate status to internal stakeholders.

• Execute assigned product design changes, including drawings and bills of materials (BOMs), according to approved technical specifications using engineering software, databases, and 2D/3D CAD systems.

• Develop design solutions from technical specifications to meet customer expectations, quality goals, cost targets, and supply chain constraints.

• Support North American Global Supply Chain manufacturing plants with technical investigations and product compliance activities for the assigned product family (e.g., UL 489, IEC, and ANSI).

• Prepare and support the technical review of deliverables such as PPAP documentation and pilot-run results.

• Work collaboratively in cross-functional teams to address quality, performance, cost, and productivity objectives.

• Create and update Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) and related risk documentation to reflect product design changes.

• Provide technical assistance and share knowledge with peers, manufacturing, quality, and other partner functions.

• Support customer return analysis, root-cause identification, corrective actions, and documentation of findings.

• Contribute to user documentation such as instruction bulletins, safety labels, technical data, and product markings.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or related field, or equivalent expertise in electromechanical design.

• Typically, 3-5 years of relevant experience in electromechanical product design, product maintenance, testing, or mass-production industries.

• Six Sigma Green Belt, problem-solving, or quality-methodology training is a plus.

• Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).

• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and engineering drawings;
  Creo experience is preferred.

• Experience supporting product testing and evaluation against applicable requirements (UL, CSA, NOM, IEC, CCC, or ANSI).

• Circuit Breaker or low-voltage electrical distribution product experience is a plus.

• Exposure to computer-aided engineering tools, such as structural, thermal, or kinematic analysis, is a plus.

• Applied knowledge of engineering fundamentals and the ability to use them to solve routine and non-routine technical problems.

• Familiarity with metal stamping, thermoset and…
