TL;DR · Wire Harness Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike

Wire Harness Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike will join the engineering team to design, fabricate, and integrate harness systems for aerospace platforms. The role involves managing the end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect system, including power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity while ensuring designs meet requirements for voltage, current, bandwidth, redundancy, and EMI/EMC. Key responsibilities include performing trade studies for wire gauge and connector selection, creating block diagrams, and developing assembly instructions. The candidate will utilize Siemens NX for 3D routed harness data files and Siemens Capital to generate 2D formboard drawings. Required technical skills include familiarity with CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, and 1553 bus interfaces, as well as MIL-STD requirements. This role solves critical electrical risks like voltage drop and crosstalk within complex aerospace systems to ensure high reliability in demanding environments.

What you'll do

  • Design, fabricate, and integrate harness systems while representing the harness discipline on projects.
  • Research and procure components including connectors, back-shells, wire, and shielding to meet environmental requirements.
  • Develop and generate harness system block diagrams and wire diagrams for production release.
  • Create assembly instructions and test procedures based on industry standards and best practices.
  • Own the end-to-end electrical wiring and interconnect system, including power distribution, grounding, and signal integrity.
  • Perform electrical trade studies and mitigate risks such as voltage drop, crosstalk, and EMI susceptibility.
  • Manage multiple projects concurrently in a fast-paced environment to support new developments and active deployments.
  • Coordinate with manufacturers to ensure the delivery of high-quality, high-reliability products.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience designing electrical harnessing for rugged commercial, industrial, aerospace, or military applications.
  • Ability to build 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 formboard drawings in 2D CAD using Siemens Capital.
  • Familiarity with common electrical bus interfaces such as CAN, Ethernet, RS422, RS232, and 1553.
  • Knowledge of applicable harness standards and MIL-STD requirements.
  • Must be eligible to receive a US Security Clearance.
