Celestica’s 36-month Engineering Graduate Development Program (EGDP) is designed for engineering graduates who aspire to become engineering leaders. Participants complete three rotations across areas of their core engineering discipline, Support Engineering (including Manufacturing, Quality, Product Assurance, and Organizational Excellence), and Program Management. The program provides hands-on business experience, exposure to senior leaders, coaching, mentoring, professional development, and networking opportunities. After completing the rotations, participants continue their careers in areas where their capabilities and interests can have organizational impact. In the Mechanical Engineering discipline, the position works under the mentorship of a senior engineer and as part of a cross-functional team to develop and design mechanical components and systems for subsystem- and system-level projects, primarily within Celestica’s data center and networking division. The work applies mechanical engineering education to product design from development through manufacturing, with experience across project tasks including management and manufacturing as well as design. The position is based in a normal office environment.
