At Schneider Electric, sustainability is at the core of our purpose, culture, and business.
Come join our team and help us build a portfolio of residential energy products including solar inverters, batteries, EV chargers, smart electrical panels, connected outlets and smart lighting solutions! Let’s create an eco-system together that makes our homes fully electric, way more intelligent, gives users greater control of their energy usage, and instead of contributing to climate change – helps fix it!
We are hiring a Mechanical Engineering Co-op with a strong background in Mechanical Engineering Product Design to join the Schneider Electric Solar + Storage team starting May 2023. Our preference is that candidates live within a commutable distance to our Richmond, BC, Canada office. Must be available for 8 month’s minimum.
What will you do?
- Support design throughout the engineering process from initial concept to final production release
- Within a collaborative design team, you will proactively create and modify mechanical designs and drawings in Creo Parametric
- Validate mechanical components, analyze data, and write test reports
- Estimate personal design timelines and provide feedback to project schedules
- Use engineering principles to review designs for structural integrity, thermal performance, material performance, manufacturability, and serviceability
What qualifications will make you successful?
- Working towards an undergraduate degree in Mechanical or Electro-Mechanical Engineering (2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students) with preference to those with past product design experience.
- Foundational detailed design sense in creation of models and drawings using Creo (or similar CAD software such as SolidWorks)
- Experience in mechanical design for prototype and high-volume production. Exposure to sheet metal parts, injection molded parts, machined parts, and harnessing design is considered an asset.
- Sound engineering design methodologies: minimum constraint design, tolerance stack-up analysis, and GD&T coupled with design for manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, reliability, quality, and cost mentalities
- Familiarity with design for regulatory compliance (such as UL) as well as ingress protection design is preferred
- Experience in BOM creation, ECO’s, and DVT processes preferred
