What are the responsibilities and job description for the Harness Design Engineer position at Pentangle Tech Services | P5 Group?
Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Harness Design Engineer with a strong focus on mechanical harness engineering to support the development of next-generation energy storage systems. This role is ideal for someone who excels in 3D CAD routing, cross-functional collaboration, and proactively driving design ownership across complex electro-mechanical systems. The successful candidate will have at least 6 years of experience and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
Responsibilities
- Create 3D harness routing using CAD tools, primarily SolidWorks Harness Routing Module.
- Develop 2D harness layout drawings.
- Design mounting strategies, routing paths, and interface points throughout the system.
- Create simple mechanical parts such as brackets, clamps, strain-relief features, and other installation hardware.
- Generate and maintain detailed documentation including connector and terminal specifications, harness drawings and schematics, Bill of Materials (BOM), installation drawings, and cable and harness construction details.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, test, and systems engineering teams to ensure alignment and integration across the full battery pack system.
- Proactively drive design reviews, resolve interface challenges, and present updates to cross-functional partners.
- Take ownership of harness routing and mechanical integration tasks with minimal oversight.
- Operate proactively to identify gaps, reach out for alignment, and push design progression without needing to be nudged.
Essential Skills
- 6 years of hands-on harness design experience in mechanical or electro-mechanical systems.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks, especially harness routing.
- Strong understanding of mechanical integration principles, packaging, and routing constraints.
- Experience designing brackets, routing supports, clamps, and simple mechanical components.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to present designs clearly to engineering stakeholders.
- Autonomous, proactive working style—drives work forward independently.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
- Maintenance of component libraries is a bonus skill.
- Experience in generating and maintaining detailed documentation, including connectors, terminals, clamps, and BOM.
