You will own wiring harness design for AeroVect vehicles, reporting to our Sr Manager, Hardware Engineering. You'll take harnesses from schematic to released drawings and support them through the build, working closely with hardware engineering and our contract manufacturer. This is a senior ownership role on a small, fast-moving team, and you'll set the harness standards we scale on.

What You’ll Do

• Own harness design end to end, turning schematics and device transmittals into 3D routing, drawings, wire lists and BOMs for the vehicle platform and autonomy kit

• Select wire, connectors, terminals and fuses for LV power, CAN, automotive Ethernet and camera links

• Design for EMI and strain relief, and work with mechanical engineers on clips and pass-throughs

• Release drawings and engineering changes in SolidWorks PDM under revision control, and maintain the component library

• Release build packages our contract manufacturer can build from, and lead first articles and quality issues with them and our harness suppliers

• Own DFMEAs, DV testing and end-of-line test procedures that validate harnesses for life on the airport ramp

• Support prototype and production builds hands-on, and feed field failures back into the design

• Set harness standards and a preferred parts list as we scale

You Have

• Bachelor's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering

• 5+ years designing and releasing wire harnesses in automotive, aerospace (EWIS) or off-highway vehicles, from concept through production

• 3D harness routing in SolidWorks, with files managed in SolidWorks PDM

• Harness schematic and drawing experience in Zuken E3.series or RapidHarness

• Solid wiring fundamentals: wire sizing, voltage drop, fusing, grounding and EMC

• Hands-on skill building and debugging harnesses

• Comfort owning work through ambiguity, and writing instructions a technician can follow

We Prefer

• AV or automotive industry experience

• Experience selecting components for outdoor or harsh environments

• Experience working with contract manufacturers and harness suppliers

• Experience with formboards and end-of-line harness test fixtures

• Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 and functional safety on circuits such as e-stop and drive-by-wire

• Experience at a fast-paced startup or scale-up

• Willingness to travel to build partners and airport sites
