THE ROLE

Bring your wiring design skills to some of the most custom aircraft interiors in the world. Working from the program statement of work, you will create wire diagrams and wire kits for VIP interiors, largely on wide body aircraft, and make sure every design is certifiable. You will join a team that values clear communication and supports you while you learn its tools.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Design & Document

• Create wire diagrams and wire kits for aircraft electrical systems on active VIP completion programs.
• Ensure all designs and documentation are certifiable for the program.
• Learn and work within a proprietary electrical design tool, similar to AutoCAD Electrical, with train up time provided.

Coordinate & Communicate

• Work closely with engineering leads and other disciplines as designs integrate.
• Ask questions freely. This team values communication and would rather you ask and be wrong than guess.
