About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Electrical Wiring & Harness Design Engineer to support the design, development, and configuration management of electrical wiring and interconnect systems for advanced military aircraft programs. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to develop, update, and maintain aircraft wiring architectures, schematics, and technical documentation while supporting critical modernization and modification initiatives.
This role involves translating engineering requirements, redlined schematics, and source data into production-ready wiring documentation and Build-to-Package (BTP) deliverables. The engineer will contribute to aircraft modification programs, troubleshoot integration issues, and ensure compliance with aerospace engineering standards.
What You'll Do
- Design and develop aircraft electrical wiring harnesses, schematics, wiring diagrams, and interconnect architectures.
- Interpret engineering source data, redlined drawings, and technical requirements to implement wiring system updates.
- Create and modify wiring documentation using CAD tools such as CATIA, Capital, or comparable electrical design software.
- Develop and maintain Build-to-Package (BTP) documentation, including parts lists, application lists, and effectivity data.
- Perform engineering reviews and technical quality checks to ensure document accuracy and configuration compliance.
- Analyze and resolve electrical integration and wiring-related issues across avionics and aircraft systems.
- Support aircraft modification, upgrade, and sustainment efforts.
- Collaborate with systems, avionics, manufacturing, and configuration management teams to ensure successful implementation of engineering changes.
- Provide engineering approval and support for technical change documentation.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- 4+ years of professional experience in electrical engineering.
- 2+ years of experience designing electrical wiring harnesses, schematics, or wiring diagrams.

- 2+ years of experience creating and managing Build-to-Package (BTP) documentation.
- Experience interpreting electrical drawings, schematics, and engineering documentation.
- Strong understanding of electrical integration, wiring systems, and configuration-controlled environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Aerospace or defense industry experience supporting military or commercial aircraft programs.
- Familiarity with avionics integration and aircraft electrical systems.
- Experience with engineering data management and product lifecycle management tools.
- Knowledge of configuration management and engineering change processes.
- Experience working in regulated, safety-critical environments.
