Wiring Engineer

Role Overview

As a Wiring Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, routing, and documenting wire harness systems using SolidWorks Electrical, covering the full lifecycle from concept development to manufacturing release. This role is critical in ensuring robust, reliable, and standards-compliant electrical interconnections across UAV and aerospace platforms, with strong focus on design accuracy, manufacturability, and system integration.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop wiring harnesses using SolidWorks Electrical and related CAD tools
• Create complete system wiring schematics including connectors, pinouts, shielding, and interconnections
• Define wire specifications (gauge, insulation, routing paths) based on current load, voltage drop, and system requirements
• Optimize harness routing considering mechanical constraints, vibration zones, moving parts, and integration challenges
• Develop and maintain component libraries, wire lists, BOMs, and detailed manufacturing documentation
• Prepare accurate manufacturing drawings and release documentation for production teams
• Ensure compliance with aerospace/UAV standards, electrical safety standards, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles
• Support prototype builds, testing, troubleshooting, and validation activities
• Perform or support continuity testing and fault diagnosis of harness systems
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and production teams for seamless system integration and assembly
• Work with suppliers and internal teams to ensure manufacturability and quality of harness assemblies
• Design solutions suitable for harsh environments (temperature, vibration, moisture)

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Minimum 2+ years of hands-on experience in wiring harness design or electrical drafting
• Experience in aerospace, UAV, automotive, or other high-reliability engineering environments preferred
• Proven experience handling full-cycle harness development (concept to production release)
• Strong experience in electrical schematics and documentation
