Senior Wire Harness Engineer
- Harness Design & Routing: Design, route, and document complex wire harness assemblies, developing detailed 2D/3D drawings, schematics, and full Bills of Materials (BoMs) using enterprise E-CAD software.
- Dynamic Joint Routing: Apply best practices for routing cables across high-DOF (Degree of Freedom) joints. Select wire types, jackets, and shielding materials that survive extreme dynamic environments and high-cycle fatigue.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a key technical bridge between Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Manufacturing. Optimize harness placement within tight spaces while balancing connector density, serviceability, and thermal constraints.
- Design for Excellence (DfX): Drive Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and Assembly (DfA) initiatives to reduce harness complexity, part count, and assembly time. Support the integration of advanced techniques like overmolding and custom backshells.
- Testing & Failure Analysis: Conduct root cause analysis on harness and interconnect failures. Participate in DFMEAs and perform hands-on validation (e.g., continuity, Hi-Pot, and pull-force tests) to identify and mitigate hidden failure modes.
- Vendor Support: Work closely with the supply chain team and external harness manufacturing partners to clarify technical requirements, resolve DFM feedback, and ensure quality during the transition from prototype to production.
- E-CAD & Standardization: Maintain clean component libraries and utilize E-CAD workflows effectively. Help enforce drawing standards and documentation best practices.
- Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and support to junior engineers and assembly technicians, fostering a collaborative culture of engineering rigor.
- Subject Matter Expertise: Strong knowledge of High-Speed Data (e.g., GMSL, CAN, Ethernet) and High-Power distribution within a single, space-constrained harness.
- Dynamic Routing: Proven track record of designing high-flex cabling for dynamic applications (robotics, aerospace gimbals, automotive doors, or similar).
- E-CAD Proficiency: Strong proficiency in modern E-CAD software (e.g., Zuken E3.series, Siemens Capital, SolidWorks Electrical, Rapid Harness, or Altium).
- Physics-Based Design: Solid understanding of wire sizing, voltage drop, EMI/EMC shielding principles, signal integrity, and thermal derating in bundled configurations.
- Communication: Excellent problem-solving and communication skills; able to articulate technical trade-offs clearly to cross-functional peers.
- Industry Standards: Direct experience with common industry standards for harness manufacturing and quality control
- Experience: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Robotics with 4+ years of experience designing wire harnesses for complex electromechanical systems
- Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
- Must be able to lift 15 pounds at times
- Vision to read printed materials and a computer screen
- Hearing and speech to communicate
- This is a direct hire. Please, no outside Agency solicitations.
