Engineering Graduate Development Program

Would you like to work for a company with a global footprint that can provide you with global hands-on experience?

The Celestica Engineering Graduate Development Program (EGDP) is for candidates who aspire to become engineering leaders. Over a period of 24 months, graduates complete five rotations within dynamic areas of their core engineering discipline, along with Support Engineering (quality, supply chain, and commodity management), Program Management, Business Development, and Product Manufacturing. This is a unique opportunity for you to begin your career with Celestica and accelerate your leadership development.

About this opportunity:

The EGDP program will allow you to work in unique, challenging, and constantly evolving roles critical to our global business. Each rotation will vary in scope, allowing you to showcase your talents to a broad range of colleagues and executives while giving you the experience necessary to thrive in senior roles. You will be able to participate in professional development programs and networking events. You will be supported by a dedicated program manager, peer partner, and executive mentor. After completing the rotations, individuals will build their careers with Celestica in areas of the enterprise where their capabilities can be best leveraged for organizational impact and personal career interest.

Candidates will work under the mentorship of a senior engineer in Software Engineering. As a member of the design and development group, you will design and develop embedded software by translating hardware specifications and functional requirements. This software is critical for enabling and controlling advanced Data Center and Networking hardware. Furthermore, a significant part of the role involves rigorous validation of the developed software. This validation process is essential to confirm that the hardware components are fully enabled and optimized to achieve their maximum intended performance. This includes executing comprehensive test plans, debugging issues, and working closely with hardware engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and functionality within the overall system architecture.
