Senior Wire Harness Design Engineer - Small Platforms

Description

An innovative defense technology company is scaling rapidly across its engineering organization and is seeking Senior Wire Harness Design Engineers to support its Small Platforms product line.

This role owns both the architecture and implementation of wiring systems for prefabricated harnesses, a scope that is often split into two separate roles at larger companies but is combined here. The ideal candidate has experience as a router or packager who has transitioned into making independent design decisions and is comfortable working closely with mechanical engineering, as harness design is a direct input into the broader mechanical integration process.

The work spans products at every stage of maturity, from a platform currently in active production to multiple platforms still in early concept and first-hardware phases. This person will spend approximately 80% of their time designing and routing harnesses at a workstation and 20% on the production floor verifying designs and supporting builds.

• Architect and implement wiring systems for prefabricated harnesses across multiple small-platform programs
• Route and package cable and harness assemblies in 3D CAD environments while coordinating closely with mechanical engineering teams
• Select cables, connectors, and electrical components while justifying design decisions based on functional requirements
• Develop and maintain schematics and harness documentation using ECAD, PLM, and MCAD tools
• Support both new product development and continuous improvement of existing designs
• Identify and improve process gaps and workflow inefficiencies
• Verify harness designs on the production floor and ensure builds align with released documentation

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered
• 510+ years of experience in wire harness design, routing, or electrical integration
• Demonstrated experience owning both harness architecture and implementation rather than only one portion of the process
• Hands-on experience with ECAD tools (Zuken E3, Siemens Capital, EPLAN, or similar), PLM systems, and MCAD platforms (NX, SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, etc.)
• Ability to independently select components and explain engineering decision-making
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, particularly with mechanical engineering teams

• Automotive EWIS or harness design experience (Tesla, Rivian, Ford, GM, Lucid, etc.)
• Experience supporting autonomous systems, robotics, defense, aerospace, or advanced vehicle platforms
• Background improving design workflows, automation, or engineering processes
• Previous project leadership or informal team leadership experience

• Wire Harness Architecture
• 3D Harness Routing & Packaging
• ECAD
• PLM
• MCAD
• Siemens Capital
• Zuken E3
