• Perform voltage drop and current derating analyses in direct support of harness development and validation.
• Coordinate with thermal, dynamic, stress, reliability, EMC, and survivability analyses to ensure holistic, compliant designs.
• Prepare all applicable drawings, bills of materials, and documentation required for fabrication, assembly, and certification.
• Interface with Parts Engineering, Quality Assurance, and Purchasing regarding material quality, vendor performance, and part conformance.
• Support manufacturing and test disciplines in minimizing cycle time, resolving integration problems, and validating harness performance against specifications.
To be effective in this role, you will need:
• 3+ years professional experience in wire harness and interconnects design for avionics or high-reliability applications.
• Proven experience supporting the technical development of aerospace hardware, including CAD modeling, test procedure development, and specification authoring.
