We are seeking an experienced Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) Design Engineer to support an aircraft engineering work package in Greensboro, NC. This role focuses on both detailed wiring/harness definition and physical 3D harness routing and installation using CATIA. Prior experience supporting aircraft OEM programs is desirable, particularly for a potential on-site coordination assignment.
Wiring Diagrams & Harness Definition
· Develop detailed wiring diagrams (W/D) from customer-provided Electrical System Schematic Diagrams (ESSD).
· Define individual conductors, wire IDs, lengths, connector pin-outs, terminations, and grounding points.
· Generate and maintain Harness Definition Reports (HDR) with wire lengths, IDs, pins, grounds, and manufacturing-ready data.
· Coordinate revisions and resolve discrepancies among ESSD inputs, wiring diagrams, and HDR outputs.
3D Harness Routing & Installation
· Design aircraft harness routing in CATIA, including physical paths, clearances, supports, clips, and attachment points.
· Produce harness installation drawings and integrate routing with aircraft structure and adjacent systems.
· Apply EWIS considerations for separation, protection, accessibility, maintainability, and installation feasibility.
· Collaborate with structures, systems integration, and methods/manufacturing teams to resolve installation issues.
Manufacturing & Project Support
· Support methods teams using wiring diagrams and HDRs to prepare harness jig boards and fabrication instructions.
· Provide engineering clarification for harness fabrication, connectorization, installation, and clipping work instructions.
· Support design changes, configuration control, technical reviews, and shop-floor issue resolution.
· For suitably experienced candidates, potentially coordinate on-site work-package activities, deliverables, and customer communications.
Requirements
· Hands-on aerospace EWIS/harness design experience, including wiring diagrams and harness definition documentation.
· Experience with connector pin assignments, wire IDs, lengths, grounding, and harness configurations.
· CATIA 3D electrical harness routing and aircraft installation design experience.
· Ability to interpret ESSD inputs and translate them into detailed, manufacturable harness designs.
· Experience collaborating with engineering, methods, and manufacturing teams; ability to work on-site in Greensboro.
Preferred Qualifications
· Previous experience supporting aircraft OEM electrical harness design and integration programs.
· Direct experience spanning both W/D and HDR generation and CATIA 3D harness routing.
· Experience with CATIA Electrical Harness Installation or comparable workbenches.
· Knowledge of applicable aircraft OEM EWIS standards, FAA requirements, and technical work-package coordination.
Role Scope Clarification
This is a harness-focused EWIS design position—not an electrical power/load analysis, electrical architecture, or initial ESSD development role. Customer-provided ESSDs are the starting inputs. The desired engineer can support both Part 1 (wiring diagrams/HDR) and Part 2 (3D routing/installation).
