Requirements

Candidates should possess a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent industry experience, along with a minimum of 5 years of experience in electrical harness design. They must be able to route harnessing both in CAD and physically within the aircraft, define routing and bulkhead requirements, and have experience working with connectors, backshells, EMI shielding, and cable/wire protection methods. A logical and inquisitive approach, combined with eagerness to both teach and learn, is also required.

Responsibilities

As a Sr. Harness Engineer, the individual will work collaboratively with avionics, mechanical, and integration teams to define harness architecture, including routing, bulkhead planning, and manufacturing processes. They will be responsible for the detailed design of both flight and test harnesses, working with production technicians and A&Ps to ensure proper build and installation on the aircraft. The role involves designing, installing, and testing hardware on remotely operated aircraft and contributing to the integration of hardware teams onto the airplane. The engineer will also perform design trades and detail design of aerospace flight harnesses, and experience working with certification-path aviation development projects is preferred.
