About The Position

Schneider Electric has a meaningful opportunity available for an Project Technical Leader (Low Voltage Equipment) for our Power Systems division. We are seeking an experienced Project Technical Leader to provide technical leadership during the new product development of Low Voltage equipment including Switchboard and Switchgear products. In this role, you will serve as the primary technical point of contact for multidisciplinary design teams. You will influence the technical direction of electromechanical systems, guide the integration of mechanical, electrical, and electronic components, and ensure that product designs meet feasibility, reliability, efficiency, safety, and regulatory requirements. This is a senior individual-contributor position for an engineer who combines deep technical expertise with sound engineering judgment, effective risk management, and the ability to guide less experienced engineers. The successful candidate will work with minimal supervision, establish priorities independently, and make informed decisions in complex or occasionally ambiguous situations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent (Master’s Degree preferred) and minimum of 5 years of experience in the design of low voltage switchgear and/or switchboard.
Experience in electromechanical product design, development, integration, validation, or technical leadership.
Strong technical knowledge of systems that combine mechanical structures, electrical power or control components, electronic devices, actuators, sensors, and control systems.
Demonstrated ability to lead technical decisions and resolve complex multidisciplinary engineering problems.
Experience performing engineering risk assessment, design reviews, root-cause analysis, validation, verification, and compliance testing.
Ability to convert product or system requirements into technical activities, estimates, design deliverables, and validation plans.
Experience working with cross-functional engineering, product, manufacturing, quality, testing, and program-management teams.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex technical matters to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Ability to work independently, prioritize competing technical activities, and operate effectively with limited supervision.

Responsibilities

Serve as the technical single point of contact for design squads and program teams throughout the product lifecycle.
Provide technical guidance to engineers and other professionals across multiple disciplines.
Guide the integration of mechanical, electrical, and electronic components into reliable product architectures.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate hardware, actuators, sensors, controls, and related subsystems.
Support the design, development, testing, conformity assessment, and optimization of products, systems, and technical solutions.
Contribute to the development of new products, processes, and technologies that address industry challenges and improve system integration.
Define, evaluate, and estimate technical work required to achieve program and sprint objectives.
Identify technical dependencies, constraints, and risks that could affect program deliverables.
Ensure that proposed designs are technically feasible, reliable, efficient, and suitable for their intended application.
Oversee validation, verification, and compliance-testing activities.
Systems engineering and product architecture.
