What you’ll do:

• Create wiring diagrams and associated wire harness documentation for hazardous voltage (HV) harnesses operating at bus voltages between 400 V - 1000 V
• Support the team in the performance of trade studies on potential harness and connector solutions and optimize for Size, Weight, Performance & Cost metrics at the harness and vehicle level and present these results to a cross-functional team
• Prepare and qualify test procedures for HV harnesses with references to existing standards when possible
• Support the team in performing failure analyses of HV harnesses and drive the analyses to identify root cause(s) and corrective action(s) and support incorporation of the corrections
• Design a testing campaign to optimize cable, connector, material, and manufacturing processes testing and utilize test results to determine the proper solutions from a design and failure correction perspective
• Support transition of HV harness designs to manufacturing
• Work closely with module, HV bus, mechanical, and thermal teams to understand the use case and load profiles to appropriately specify and test harnesses
• Work closely with the EMC and EEE groups to implement grounding schemes and EMI mitigation strategies

What you need:

• BS Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, or Aerospace Engineering or related field
• 5 years experience developing EWIS for vehicles (automotive, aerospace, etc.)
• Experience performing Design of Experiments (DoEs), among other methods, to resolve issues encountered in design, manufacturing, and application of HV harnesses
• Strong understanding of Aerospace/Mil-Spec wiring components and their assembly procedures
• Experience designing test procedures, instrumentation, and breakouts to support manufacturing and end-of-line manufacturing tests
• Excellent organizational and communication skills

Bonus Qualifications: 

• Knowledge of EWIS concepts, certification, and experience with FAA AC 25.1701
• Experience implementing light weight conductors (aluminum) in a volume production vehicle
• Experience with Mentor Graphics Custom plugin development and report generation
• Passion for aviation and eVTOLs
