Staff Wire Harness Engineer
- Interconnect Architecture: Define the top-level electrical distribution strategy for the entire robot, including grounding schemes, shielding architecture, and power/data separation protocols.
- Joint-Crossing Lifecycle Leadership: Own the technical strategy for harness routing across high-DOF joints. Develop and validate mathematical models for cable life expectancy (millions of cycles) and select materials that survive extreme dynamic environments.
- Standardization & Tooling: Establish company-wide standards for E-CAD workflows, library management, and drawing requirements. Lead the selection and implementation of enterprise-level harness design software (e.g., Zuken E3, Capital).
- Cross-Functional System Design: Act as the primary technical bridge between EE, MechE, and Manufacturing. Lead high-level trade-off analyses regarding connector density vs. serviceability and mass vs. thermal performance.
- DfX: Drive Design for Excellence (DfX) initiatives to reduce harness complexity, part count, and assembly time. Evaluate and qualify advanced techniques like overmolding, ultrasonic welding, and custom busbars.
- Root Cause & Reliability: Lead failure analysis for the most complex system-level electrical issues. Use advanced diagnostic tools and DFMEAs to identify and mitigate "hidden" failure modes in signal integrity or power transients.
- Vendor & Supply Chain Strategy: Partner with Sourcing to vet and manage strategic harness manufacturing partners, ensuring our technical requirements are met during the transition from prototype to high-volume production.
- Mentorship: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and senior engineers, conducting deep-dive design reviews and fostering a culture of technical excellence.
- Subject Matter Expertise: Expert-level knowledge of High-Speed Data and High-Power distribution within a single, space-constrained harness.
- Dynamic Routing: Proven track record of designing harnesses for high-cycle dynamic applications (robotics, aerospace gimbals, or automotive doors/hatches).
- E-CAD Mastery: Advanced proficiency in Zuken E3.series, Siemens Capital, or SolidWorks Electrical, including database management and automated report generation.
- Physics-Based Design: Deep understanding of EMI/EMC mitigation, shielding effectiveness, and thermal derating of conductors in bundled configurations.
- Communication: Ability to distill complex technical trade-offs into actionable recommendations for executive leadership.
- Industry Standards: Deep familiarity with IPC-WHMA-620 and related aerospace/automotive quality standards.
- Experience: Bachelor's or Master's degree in EE, ME, or Robotics with 8+ years of experience in 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.
