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
