Autonomous Vehicle Wire Harness Development Engineer

Job duties:

• Independently develop professional, manufacturable, cost effective wire harness designs
  
• Interface with vehicle or equipment electrical system designers to ensure basic electrical requirements are understood and implemented
  
• Develop wire harness routing designs in 3D CAD (Solidworks or other). This includes ensuring all harnesses are routed safely and securely and properly connect to applicable electrical units and mating harnesses
  
• Develop clear, readable wire harness drawings (this customer is shifting to Mentor from Autocad) conforming to customer and industry drafting standards
  
• Interface with wire harness suppliers to address Design for Manufacturability issue
  
• Design brackets and other mounting fixtures to secure wire harnesses and related electromechanical devices in the vehicle
  
• Work with team members to trouble shoot the installation of autonomous driving units in heavy trucks and equipment
  
• Must be comfortable re-working wire harnesses and "getting your hands dirty".  While you'll definitely be designing, you'll also need to get into the field to help get the job done.
