TL;DR · Electrical Harness Design Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike

The Electrical Harness Design Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike joins the engineering team to lead the design, fabrication, and integration of harness systems for defense products. This role involves investigating technical requirements, selecting connectors, wires, and shielding, and generating 3D routed harness data files and 2D formboard drawings. You will own the end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect system, managing power distribution, grounding, and signal integrity while mitigating risks like crosstalk and EMI susceptibility. Key responsibilities include performing electrical trade studies, preparing assembly instructions, and collaborating with the electrical team to define system requirements. Required skills include proficiency in Siemens NX Cabling, Siemens Capital Harness, and knowledge of CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, and 1553 interfaces. You will ensure designs meet MIL-STD requirements for rugged aerospace and military applications.

What you'll do

  • Design, fabricate, and integrate harness systems for defense technology products.
  • Research and procure connectors, back-shells, wire, and shielding to meet environmental requirements.
  • Develop harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams for production release.
  • Prepare harness assembly instructions and test procedures based on industry standards.
  • Own the end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect system, including power distribution and signal integrity.
  • Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection, and topology.
  • Analyze and mitigate electrical risks such as voltage drop, crosstalk, and EMI susceptibility.
  • Manage relationships with harness manufacturers to deliver high-quality and high-reliability products.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 3+ years hands-on experience designing electrical harnessing for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications.
  • Experience building 3D routed harness data files using NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD wire harness routing using Siemens NX.
  • Ability to read and generate 2D formboard drawings for production using Siemens Capital.
  • Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, 1553) and MIL-STD requirements.
  • Must be eligible to receive a US Security Clearance.
  • 5+ years experience designing and integrating wire harness electrical systems into aerospace platforms (preferred).
