Engineer, Mechanical/Electrical Design - Graduate Development Program

Celestica International LP•Maple Grove, MN

18d•$60,000 - $75,000•Onsite

About The Position

Celestica’s Engineering Graduate Development Program (EGDP) is a 36-month program for engineering graduates who aspire to become engineering leaders. Participants complete three rotations in areas related to their core discipline, Support Engineering (including Manufacturing, Quality, Product Assurance, and Organizational Excellence), and Program Management. The program provides hands-on experience, exposure to senior leaders, business experience, organizational breadth, professional development, and networking opportunities. Participants are supported by a dedicated program manager, peer partner, and executive mentor. After completing the rotations, they continue their careers at Celestica in areas suited to organizational needs and their career interests. Candidates work under the mentorship of a senior engineer in either Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. Electrical Engineering work includes feasibility analysis, hardware architecture, designs and schematics for new products, and support for design bring-up, prototyping, and product realization. Mechanical Engineering work involves cross-functional development and design of mechanical components for subsystem- and system-level projects, taking products from development through manufacturing. Projects are primarily in Celestica’s data center and networking division, and offer exposure to project tasks from management through manufacturing while developing core engineering skills. The role is based in a normal office environment. Duties may involve extended sitting, sustained visual concentration on computer monitors or detailed data, and frequent repetitive manual movements. Occasional travel may be required. The position may involve work subject to ITAR or other restricted-access controls; employment is conditional on successful completion of a security assessment and required export-control review.
