Full Job Description
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Design wiring harnesses for small unmanned vehicles from the ground up: requirements, schematics, pinouts, connector selection, wire gauge and circuit protection, shielding and grounding
Read harness schematics and sensor datasheets, work out what each sensor needs for power, signal, and grounding, and route power to it safely
Troubleshoot vehicles on the bench and in the field: shorts, opens, intermittent connections, bad crimps, ground problems, and electrical noise
Root-cause sensor or motor problems end to end-when a sensor or motor stops working, isolate whether the fault is the sensor, the connector, the cable, the power, or the software talking to it
Take harnesses from prototype to production: formal drawings, formboard layouts, BOMs, labeling, and build and test instructions a technician or contract manufacturer can follow
Define and run harness acceptance tests (continuity, pull) and vehicle-level electrical checkout
Support builds on the floor, review technician work, guide technicians, and fold what you learn back into the design
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
BS in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field
1 to 3 years of hands-on experience with vehicle wiring and harness design
Formula SAE or Baja experience
You have designed at least one complete harness from a blank page through build and debug, not just modified someone else's
PCB design experience (Altium)
Comfortable with a multimeter, an oscilloscope, a crimper, and a soldering iron
Self-starter: you work autonomously, ask good questions early, and do not wait to be told what to do next
U.S. Person as defined by ITAR (22 CFR 120.62)
