About the Role

We’re looking for an Avionics Harnessing Engineer to support the design, development, integration, and manufacture of mission-critical electrical systems for next-generation platforms. You’ll work closely with avionics, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams to deliver robust wiring architectures and harness solutions for harsh-environment applications.

This is an opportunity to work on high-performance vehicle systems in a fast-moving engineering environment where reliability, quality, and speed matter.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop electrical harnesses and cable assemblies for avionics and vehicle systems
  • Produce wiring schematics, harness drawings, cable routing layouts, and interconnect documentation
  • Define connector selections, backshells, shielding, grounding, and strain relief strategies
  • Support system integration, troubleshooting, continuity testing, and fault isolation
  • Collaborate with mechanical and avionics teams to optimize routing, installation, and maintainability
  • Generate and maintain BOMs, manufacturing documentation, and configuration-controlled design data
  • Support prototype builds, qualification testing, and environmental validation activities
  • Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners on harness fabrication and production readiness
  • Ensure compliance with aerospace standards and best practices for EMC/EMI, safety, and reliability

Required Experience

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline
  • Experience designing safety or mission-critical systems
  • Strong understanding of wiring diagrams, cable specifications, shielding, grounding, and connector systems
  • Experience with harness CAD or ECAD tools such as Capital, Zuken E3, CATIA Electrical, AutoCAD Electrical, or similar
  • Knowledge of aerospace standards and documentation practices
  • Hands-on experience with integration, test, and debugging of electrical systems
  • Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced engineering environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with DO-160, IPC/WHMA-A-620, AS50881, or MIL-spec wiring standards
  • Familiarity with avionics buses such as CAN, ARINC 429, RS-422, Ethernet, or SpaceWire
  • Experience supporting vehicle hardware
  • Exposure to environmental testing including vibration, thermal, and EMI/EMC validation
  • Previous work in regulated environments
