In this role, you will:
Own assigned harness families end to end, from concept through drawing release, prototype builds, and production launch.
Define and own harness routing and 3D packaging in CATIA V5/V6, optimizing for mass, cost, packaging space, serviceability, and assembly.
Create and release 2D harness manufacturing drawings and wire lists in Capital Harness (Siemens); read and understand electrical schematics and provide feedback to the electrical architecture team.
Select clips, connectors, terminals, seals, and wire; size circuits for power consumption, voltage drop, and fuse protection; define electrical interfaces and endpoints with connected devices.
Resolve technical issues including EMI, thermal protection, chafe/abrasion, mechanical strain, and environmental sealing; define protection, retention, and clipping strategies.
Lead packaging and design reviews, develop and execute Design Verification, DFM, and contribute to DFMEA.
Work directly and independently with harness suppliers from prototype development through design reviews, production readiness, and change implementation.
Support early prototype and pilot builds at the assembly plant, troubleshooting build and vehicle issues and driving manufacturing integration fixes.
Collaborate with electrical architecture, mechanical/packaging, manufacturing, and quality teams to align harness design with vehicle requirements.
Develop and improve engineering processes for device transmittals, schematics, and 3D harness routing, along with design guidelines, best practices, and component libraries.
Qualifications
Masters’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or Electromechanical Engineering,
