Overview
We are seeking an experienced Electronics / Electrical Harness Design Engineer to support a leading innovation in the UAV and drone sector. This role entails working collaboratively with a skilled engineering team to design and document electrical harnesses for advanced aerospace technology. The contractor will focus on wiring harness design but will also engage in schematic capture and PCB design, contributing to system integration across various electrical applications.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop electrical wiring harnesses for UAV and aerospace applications.
- Produce harness schematics, wiring diagrams, connector definitions, pinouts, cable schedules, and manufacturing documentation.
- Select appropriate connectors, cables, terminals and associated electrical components.
- Define harness routing, packaging and electrical interfaces between modules.
- Support schematic capture and PCB design activities as required.
- Assist in the integration of electronic modules and electrical systems.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electronics, systems, software and manufacturing engineers.
- Troubleshoot electrical and electronic issues during system integration.
Requirements
- Strong experience in electrical/electronics engineering and wiring harness design.
- Demonstrable experience in designing wiring harnesses, not just assembling them.
- Proficiency with electrical/harness design tools.
- Good understanding of connectors, terminals, cable specifications, pinouts, grounding, and shielding.
- Capability to produce manufacturing drawings and technical documentation.
- Experience in schematic capture and/or PCB design.
- Ability to integrate electrical/electronic modules into complex systems.
- Solid practical fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
