As a Staff Electrical Harness Design Engineer, you will provide the engineering expertise to design, fabricate and integrate harnesses systems and represent the harness discipline on a project.

Responsibilities:

• Investigate, plan, design and develop harnesses to meet various technical requirements
• Research, select and procure appropriate connectors, back-shells, contacts, wire, shielding, and cable construction for the product to meet appropriate environmental requirements
• Develop and generate harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams to release for production
• Participate in design reviews and provide input to identify issues and drive design choices
• Prepare harness assembly instructions and test procedures, incorporating your knowledge of industry standards and best practices
• Provide guidance to the electrical team in identifying electrical system requirements given input from internal and external stakeholders including engineering (mechanical, electrical, software), product management, quality and compliance
• Work in a fast-paced environment supporting new developments, active deployments, and customer operated hardware
• Concurrently manage involvement in multiple projects at various stages

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent

• Experience working directly with harness manufacturers to deliver high quality, high reliability products
• Own end-to-end of the electrical wiring and interconnect system, including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity
• Ensure the design meets system-level electrical requirements for voltage, current, bandwidth, redundancy, EMI/EMC
• Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection, and topology
• Analyze and mitigate electrical risks such as voltage drop, crosstalk, EMI susceptibility, and thermal effects
• Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, 1553)
• Familiar with existing applicable harness standards as well as MIL-STD requirements
• Able to apply knowledge of SWaP for power, network and communications systems and designs
• Experience reading wire block interconnect diagrams and wire diagrams
• Exceptional organization and communication skills (both written and oral)
• Must be eligible to receive a US Security Clearance

Preferred Qualifications:

• Build 3D routed harness data files applying NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness
• Experience with or proficient in 3D CAD wire harness routing, such as (NX, Siemens Capital, CATIA, CREO)
• Able to read and generate formboard drawings in 2D CAD for production
• EMI/EMC principles and common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS-422, RS-232, MIL-STD-1553)
