### Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering

- 2+ years in wire harness design for aerospace or robotics

- Strong CAD skills (NX or CATIA preferred) for 3D harness modeling

- Experience using EWIS design software (Zuken, Capital, etc)

- Expertise in GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards

- Experience with electrical schematics and connector selection

- Hands-on experience with harness fabrication or testing

- Ability to work independently in fast-paced, cross-functional teams

- A demonstrated record of working hard, being trustworthy, holding yourself to high standards, and being kind to others

- Experience designing harnesses for UAVs, aircraft, or spacecraft

- Familiarity with EWIS compliance and RTCA DO-160 testing
