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.
Responsibilities Include
- Own assigned mechanical designs from requirement through engineering release, including parts, assemblies, junctions, and project-specific applications.
- Create production-ready 3D models and technical drawings in Creo with complete manufacturing and assembly definition.
- Apply DFM principles and engineering standards to improve manufacturability, assembly, safety, and design repeatability.
- Own CAD-to-PDM readiness, ensuring models, drawings, metadata, and product structures are accurate and properly controlled.
- Collaborate with Engineering and Manufacturing to conduct design reviews, resolve production issues, and continuously improve designs.
Minimum Required Qualifications and Skills
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent engineering discipline.
- Experience with 3D parametric CAD and technical drawings, preferably Creo Parametric.
- Understanding of DFM, manufacturing processes, GD&T, and engineering drawing principles.
- Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and process orientation, with the ability to independently own engineering assignments.
- Strong cross-functional communication and continuous-improvement mindset, with a willingness to learn and implement new tools and workflows.
Preferred Qualifications and Skills
- Experience using Creo Parametric
- Experience working within a PDM or PLM environment
- Previous internship, co-op, or full-time mechanical/product engineering experience
- Experience designing fabricated sheet metal, structural, welded, or machined components
- Experience applying DFM principles in a production environment
- Experience supporting manufacturing or resolving production-related engineering issues
- Experience in the modular construction, electrical infrastructure, or data center industry

Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
USCIS requires Product Engineer roles to qualify as specialty occupations. Document that your degree field directly matches the engineering discipline the role demands, whether electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering, before you apply.
Target Schneider's energy management and automation divisions
Schneider Electric's strongest Product Engineer hiring concentrates in power systems, building automation, and industrial controls. Tailor your resume to these verticals rather than submitting a general application, since hiring managers scan for domain-specific technical language.
Clarify sponsorship willingness before the final interview round
Schneider Electric's recruiting teams vary by division on how early they confirm sponsorship. Ask your recruiter directly whether the specific business unit is approved to sponsor your visa type, so you're not investing in late-stage rounds without confirmation.
Understand how PERM timing affects your green card path
If you're targeting an EB-2 or EB-3 green card through Schneider, the DOL PERM labor certification process begins after your H-1B is approved. Factor 12 to 24 months for PERM completion into your planning, especially if your priority date matters.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open roles by sponsorship type
Schneider Electric posts Product Engineer roles across multiple job boards, but not all listings flag visa sponsorship availability. Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for roles at Schneider that have an active sponsorship history, saving you time on unsponsored postings.
Prepare for technical depth in the interview process
Schneider's Product Engineer interviews typically include system-level design questions and product lifecycle scenarios. Demonstrating hands-on familiarity with IEC standards or industrial communication protocols like Modbus or EtherNet/IP strengthens your case as a sponsored candidate worth the filing investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Schneider Electric sponsor H-1B visas for Product Engineers?
Yes, Schneider Electric sponsors H-1B visas for Product Engineer roles. The company participates in the H-1B cap-subject lottery each April and also hires through cap-exempt pathways when applicable. Sponsorship eligibility can vary by division and location, so confirming directly with your recruiter early in the process is the most reliable approach.
How do I apply for Product Engineer jobs at Schneider Electric?
You can apply through Schneider Electric's careers portal or use Migrate Mate to browse Product Engineer openings that have a verified sponsorship track record at the company. When applying, tailor your resume to the specific product domain, whether energy management, industrial automation, or building systems, and flag your visa status early to avoid late-stage mismatches with the hiring team.
Which visa types does Schneider Electric commonly use for Product Engineer roles?
Schneider Electric sponsors H-1B visas for most Product Engineer hires requiring work authorization. Australian citizens may be eligible for the E-3 visa, which follows a similar specialty occupation standard as the H-1B but is not subject to the annual lottery. For long-term permanent residency, Schneider has supported EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways through the DOL PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does Schneider Electric expect for Product Engineer roles?
Schneider Electric typically looks for a bachelor's degree or higher in electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering for Product Engineer positions. Practical experience with product lifecycle management, hardware or firmware development, and familiarity with industrial standards is valued. Roles in the automation and power divisions often expect exposure to IEC standards or industrial networking protocols alongside core engineering fundamentals.
How do I plan my timeline if I need Schneider Electric to sponsor my visa?
If you need H-1B sponsorship, Schneider Electric must file your petition during the April registration window, with employment starting no earlier than October 1 of that year. The E-3 can be processed at a U.S. consulate and has no lottery, so timelines are shorter. For Green Card sponsorship via PERM, expect the DOL labor certification process to add 12 to 24 months after your H-1B is in place.
