Design and develop electrical wiring interconnection systems for advanced aerospace platforms, ensuring reliable integration, regulatory compliance, and high-performance electrical architectures.
Your Role & Responsibilities Design and develop Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS), including wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and connector systems
Perform wire gauge calculations, voltage drop analysis, and current carrying capacity assessments
Select suitable wiring materials, connectors, terminals, and protective components based on environmental and operational requirements
Develop grounding and bonding concepts to ensure electrical safety and EMC compliance
Create detailed harness assembly drawings, wire lists, manufacturing documentation, and interconnect diagrams (ICDs)
Develop installation procedures and tooling requirements for harness assembly and aircraft integration
Ensure proper wire support, strain relief, and protection against vibration, chafing, and environmental influences
Coordinate wire routing through aircraft structures while maintaining bend radius requirements and installation clearances
Support prototype builds and production installations with hands-on technical guidance
Develop and execute EWIS test plans including continuity, insulation resistance, and functional testing activities
Perform quality inspections, acceptance testing, fault isolation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems
Ensure compliance with aerospace regulations and standards including DO-160, SAE AS50881, MIL-DTL-38999, and FAA requirements
Maintain technical documentation including wiring diagrams, installation manuals, parts lists, work instructions, and maintenance documentation
Collaborate closely with manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams to improve producibility and optimize assembly processes
Support continuous improvement initiatives across design and production environments
Required Technical & Professional Expertise Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree is considered a plus
Minimum 3–5 years of experience in EWIS design, wire harness development, or aerospace electrical systems
Experience with aircraft wiring systems, UAV electrical integration, aerospace manufacturing environments, or Ground Control Systems (GCS) is preferred
