As a Harnessing Engineer , Satellite Hardware, you will join the Harnessing Team to conceptualize, design, procure, and test wiring harnesses for low Earth orbit satellites. You will work across mechanical, electrical, and payload design owners to identify optimal configurations for reliability, manufacturability, and cost. Your daily responsibilities include creating 3D CAD routings, 2D manufacturing drawings, schematics, and assembly installation drawings while managing power and data harnesses that meet specific current rating, shielding, grounding, and EMI/EMC requirements. You will support make vs buy decisions, engage suppliers for qualification, and oversee acceptance tests for launch environments. The role requires a BS in mechanical engineering and experience with prototyping, implementation, and potentially SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools to solve complex electrical system functionality problems.

What you'll do

  • Design wiring harnesses by coordinating with mechanical, electrical, and payload design owners.
  • Evaluate trade-offs to optimize harness designs for reliability, manufacturability, testability, and cost.
  • Support make-vs-buy decisions and develop manufacturing plans optimized for high-rate production.
  • Manage relationships with component suppliers and manufacturing vendors for assembly qualification.
  • Develop specifications for power and data harnesses meeting requirements for current rating, shielding, and EMI/EMC.
  • Oversee harness qualification and acceptance testing for launch environments and mission life.
  • Create 3D CAD routings, 2D manufacturing drawings, schematics, and assembly installation drawings.
  • Fabricate test fixtures for prototype evaluations to ensure hardware meets development schedules.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering or an equivalent field.
  • At least 3 years of experience in mechanical engineering or equivalent experience.
  • Experience with prototyping and implementation.
  • Ability to create 3D CAD routings, 2D manufacturing drawings, schematics, and assembly installation drawings.
  • Knowledge of SolidWorks simulation or Ansys Finite Element analysis tools is preferred.
  • Experience designing complex mechanical products and equipment at volume is preferred.
