Product Data Engineer

Schneider Electric is seeking a Product Data Engineer to own technical preparation, classification, and reconciliation of product data within the NAM prefabricated engineering workflow. This onsite role in Fairfield, OH focuses on ensuring part information is accurate, cross-referenced to PDM and controlled internal libraries, and ready for downstream use across CAD and BOM processes.

In this position, you will manage the end-to-end flow of loader-ready product data, collaborating with engineering teams to support CAD readiness and PBOM development. You will also track product-data performance through weekly KPIs and help keep the controlled workflow progressing after independent review and release acceptance.

Responsibilities

• Acknowledge product-data handoffs and cross-reference PDM and controlled internal libraries.
• Determine whether requested parts already exist and can be reused or updated.
• Classify parts as purchased, catalog, engineered, or project-specific using approved rules.
• Prepare catalog or engineered part-record information when no suitable record exists.
• Complete and validate PDM loader files, including metadata, naming, and required fields.
• Maintain controlled internal product-data records and synchronize unique and common part information.
• Coordinate with TSE for PDM part creation or updates.
• Coordinate with Mechanical Engineering and SMEs to support CAD and specification readiness.
• Support Project Engineers with loader-ready data and PBOM readiness.
• Route missing-field resolution issues to the correct source owner.
• Provide weekly product-data KPIs, queue status, aging, and blocker information.
• Support controlled workflow progression after independent review and release acceptance.
• Maintain applicable product-data procedures, work instructions, and metadata rules.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience.
• Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• 3D CAD experience, Creo Preferred.
• PDM and PLM Management experience, Windchill Preferred.
• Strong drive to make an impact and improve processes.
• Strong communication and agility or adaptability.
• Willingness to learn new tools, skills, and workflows.
• Attention to Detail and process orientation.
