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

The Senior Electrical Harness Design Engineer joins the Air Dominance and Strike team to serve as a lead engineer for R&D projects. This role involves designing, fabricating, and integrating harness systems for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications. Key responsibilities include researching and procuring connectors, back-shells, and shielding, as well as generating 3D routed harness data files and 2D formboard drawings. The engineer must manage end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect systems, ensuring compliance with voltage, current, bandwidth, redundancy, and EMI/EMC requirements. Technical skills include proficiency in Siemens NX Cabling, Siemens Capital Harness, and common bus interfaces like CAN, Ethernet, RS422, and RS232. The position addresses complex technical requirements for power distribution, grounding, and signal integrity within demanding aerospace and defense environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design, fabrication, and integration of harness systems for R&D teams.
  • Research and procure connectors, back-shells, wire, and shielding to meet environmental requirements.
  • Develop harness system block diagrams and 2D formboard drawings for production release.
  • Prepare assembly instructions and test procedures based on industry standards and best practices.
  • Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection, and topology.
  • Analyze and mitigate electrical risks including voltage drop, crosstalk, EMI susceptibility, and thermal effects.
  • Manage the end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect system including power distribution and grounding.
  • Provide technical guidance to the electrical team to identify system requirements from internal and external stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 5+ years hands-on experience designing electrical harnessing for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD wire harness routing using Siemens NX and building 3D routed harness data files using NX Cabling and Siemens Capital Harness.
  • Ability to read and generate formboard drawings in 2D CAD using Siemens Capital.
  • Experience working directly with harness manufacturers to deliver high-quality, high-reliability products.
  • Knowledge of common electrical bus interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, 1553) and MIL-STD requirements.
  • Ability to apply knowledge of SWaP for power, network, and communications systems and designs.
  • Must be eligible to receive a US Security Clearance.
