From 1946 Schneider taught first as lecturer and since 1949 until his retirement in 1970 as full professor at the Technical University of Braunschweig. In addition, he was Director of the Institute for Agricultural and Sugar Industry Technology at the TU Braunschweig. In addition to his work at the University Schneider held various research associations active, for example, from 1964 to 1966 as Chairman of the Scientific Council of the German Federation of Industrial Research Associations. The Commission Internationale Technique de Sucrerie, the most important international scientific organization in the field of sugar technology, chose Schneider 1971 for the President of the Scientific Committee.
