Component Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and detail‑oriented Component Engineer to support the development and lifecycle management of components used in UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and PDU (Power Distribution Unit) products. The role involves evaluating, qualifying, and managing electrical and mechanical components to ensure product reliability, cost‑effectiveness, and compliance with industry standards. The engineer will be responsible for selecting and qualifying suitable components for both new and existing designs, performing technical assessments and risk analyses, and working closely with design teams to verify compatibility and performance. Supplier and lifecycle management duties include interfacing with vendors for technical data and samples, monitoring component status such as end‑of‑life or product change notifications, and maintaining approved vendor lists and component databases. Ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) and supporting documentation for audits and certifications are key parts of the role, as is driving cost‑reduction initiatives and improving reliability through data analysis and failure reporting. Joining Schneider Electric means contributing to mission‑critical power products, working with cutting‑edge technologies that support global data‑center infrastructure, and collaborating with industry‑leading suppliers and engineers. • Select and assess components for new and existing designs. • Conduct technical risk assessments and verify component compatibility with design teams. • Coordinate with suppliers to obtain technical data, samples, and qualification support. • Track component lifecycle events (EOL, PCN) and source alternative parts as needed. • Maintain approved vendor lists and component databases within PLM/ERP systems. • Ensure components meet RoHS, REACH, UL, and IEC standards and prepare audit documentation. • Lead cost‑reduction initiatives through alternate sourcing and design optimization. • Analyze field failure data to enhance component reliability. • Partner with procurement, quality, manufacturing, V&V, and QVE teams for testing and validation. • Manage BOMs and utilize component database tools such as SiliconExpert and Z2Data.
