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)
