TL;DR · Electrical Harness Design Engineer

As an Electrical Harness Design Engineer, you will join a dedicated engineering team to design and integrate electrical harness systems for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications. Your responsibilities include investigating technical requirements, selecting appropriate components, developing block diagrams, preparing assembly instructions, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and MIL-STD requirements. You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders such as mechanical, software engineers, and product management to identify system-level electrical needs. The role requires hands-on experience in designing high-reliability harnesses, performing trade studies for wire gauge and connector selection, and mitigating electrical risks. Familiarity with 3D CAD tools like NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness is preferred, as well as knowledge of common bus interfaces and EMI/EMC principles.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop electrical harness systems to meet technical requirements.
  • Select appropriate connectors, contacts, wire types, and cable construction for environmental compliance.
  • Generate block diagrams and wire diagrams for production release.
  • Prepare detailed assembly instructions and test procedures for harnesses.
  • Provide guidance on identifying electrical system requirements from stakeholders.
  • Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection.
  • Analyze and mitigate risks related to voltage drop, crosstalk, EMI susceptibility.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience designing electrical harnesses for rugged applications.
  • Experience working directly with harness manufacturers to ensure high-quality products.
  • Expertise in ensuring designs meet system-level electrical requirements and standards.
  • Ability to perform electrical trade studies and analyze risks related to wiring systems.
  • Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces and MIL-STD requirements.
