TL;DR · Staff Electrical Harness Design Engineer

The Staff Electrical Harness Design Engineer will join the engineering team to provide expertise in designing, fabricating, and integrating harness systems for defense technology. The role involves investigating technical requirements, selecting connectors, wire, and shielding, and developing harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams for production. Key responsibilities include performing electrical trade studies for wire gauge and topology, mitigating risks like crosstalk and EMI susceptibility, and preparing assembly instructions. The candidate must utilize skills in power distribution, grounding, and signal integrity while working with interfaces like CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, and 1553. Proficiency in 3D CAD tools such as NX Cabling, Siemens Capital, CATIA, or CREO is preferred. This position solves complex electrical interconnect problems for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or 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.
  • Provide guidance to the electrical team on system requirements from internal and external stakeholders.
  • Perform electrical trade studies for wire gauge, shielding, connector selection, and topology.
  • Analyze and mitigate electrical risks including voltage drop, crosstalk, and EMI susceptibility.
  • Manage multiple projects concurrently across various stages of development and deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 12+ years hands-on experience designing electrical harnessing for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications.
  • Experience working directly with harness manufacturers to deliver high quality, high reliability products.
  • Expertise in end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect systems, including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity.
  • Ability to perform electrical trade studies and mitigate risks such as voltage drop, crosstalk, EMI susceptibility, and thermal effects.
  • Familiarity with 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.
