Schmidt most recently held a role at 2. Bundesliga side Hannover 96, currently sixth in Germany's second tier, and he previously worked at SC Paderborn.
He has experience in Switzerland and Canada and is a B-licensed coach, earning his DFB certificate in 2020.
He will work with first-team analyst Albert Jones, who had already been confirmed as part of Eckert's staff.
