Role Summary: We are seeking a skilled Harness CAE Designer to support end-to-end automotive harness development activities for Honda's vehicle development programs. The engineer will work onsite and use Siemens Capital CAE tools to develop logical and physical harness designs, generate manufacturing outputs, validate design data, and support comparison, workflow, and change-management activities. The role requires strong knowledge of automotive electrical systems, harness architecture, connectivity, and design documentation.
Key Responsibilities - Perform end-to-end automotive harness development using Siemens Capital CAE tools.
- Develop logical wiring architecture models, including power distribution, ground distribution, and signal/communication networks.
- Create physical harness designs including topology, bundle structure, routing, splices, branches, breakouts, and connector/terminal assignments.
- Reference or import harness data from CATIA V5/V6 to extract 3D routing information and design intent.
- Reference or import logical network data from EAZ to extract connectivity and electrical characteristic information.
- Generate manufacturing-ready deliverables such as 2D harness drawings, BOMs, wire lists, connectivity reports, splice/joint tables, and shielding/grounding reports.
- Execute design validation activities including electrical rule checks, design consistency checks, and analysis support for circuit protection and voltage-drop readiness where applicable.
- Support comparison and benchmarking of Siemens Capital outputs against legacy CATIA/EAZ outputs and prepare gap/delta analysis reports.
- Maintain revision-controlled harness datasets and ensure traceability between logical, physical, and released design data.
- Prepare technical documentation, workflow/process documentation, issue logs, and design review presentation materials.
- Collaborate with Honda and supplier stakeholders to support delivery, issue resolution, and continuous improvement of harness design workflows.
Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience in automotive wiring harness design and development.
- Strong proficiency in Siemens Capital / Capital CAE tools for harness design.
- Experience with CATIA V5/V6 in relation to harness routing, packaging, or data extraction.
- Working knowledge of automotive electrical architecture, schematics, connectivity, and harness documentation.
- Ability to interpret and develop logical and physical harness designs with strong attention to engineering quality and release readiness.
- Experience generating harness manufacturing deliverables such as BOMs, drawings, wire lists, and reports.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently onsite and coordinate effectively with cross-functional teams.
Preferred Qualifications - Experience with EAZ network data and legacy harness toolchains.
- Exposure to harness analysis, simulation support data preparation, or downstream integration with tools such as SPICE or Ansys TwinBuilder.
- Knowledge of change/configuration management, release processes, and traceability in vehicle electrical development.
- Python knowledge for automation, integration, or data-processing activities.
- Experience supporting design reviews, benchmarking studies, and process improvement initiatives.
Key Skills Siemens Capital, automotive wiring harness development, logical architecture, physical harness design, CATIA V5/V6, EAZ, 3D routing, connectivity analysis, BOM generation, manufacturing drawings, design validation, issue tracking, technical documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
