About the Role
What you'll do:
Create wiring diagrams and associated wire harness drawing documentation using Mentor Graphics Capital, Logic and HarnessXC
Modify conformal aircraft harnesses to add wiring for test lab specific needs (tap ins, relays, data logging, switches, power supplies)
Understand and implement communication protocols (ARINC, CAN, Ethernet, Serial)
Follow industry best practices and guidance for the design and installation of the wire harnesses (AC 43.13-1B, AS50881, ASTM F2639)
Work with avionics, power plant and electrical engineering teams to define the system architecture and wiring connections, including grounding schemes and EMI mitigation strategies
Use your knowledge of industry standard components to select optimal parts to suit specific design applications and requirements.
Troubleshoot and test wiring during lab bring up, test and operation, and offer resolutions and rework instructions when required
Use strong configuration and change management skills to track and match the changes to the lab with the design progression of the aircraft
Lead technical Design Reviews of Electrical Wiring systems
Mentor, train, and develop engineers in the Electrical Wiring team
Review and approve documentation such as test reports, BOMs, Drawings, etc
What you need:
