• Use NX computer-aided design (CAD) software to route harnesses in 3D per design and installation standards.

• Review and revise EWIS designs to meet project specifications and standards, including EMC/EMI, current-carrying capacity, voltage drop, and environmental/classification requirements.

• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry and military standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, ABYC, ABS, and applicable MIL-STDs, and apply them consistently in design and documentation.

• Provide technical support and troubleshooting during the construction of a harness, factory test, and integration into the vessel; lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for nonconformances.

• Plan and support verification and validation activities (continuity/insulation resistance, hipot, and harness test board checks) and document results for compliance and quality audits.

• Communicate effectively with project managers, suppliers, and production stakeholders to coordinate build readiness, design-for-manufacture feedback, and schedule/risk mitigation.

Qualifications & Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.

• 5–10+ years of experience in EWIS design, harness engineering, or electrical integration within automotive, marine, or aerospace industries.

• Proficiency in Zuken E3, Siemens Capital, or equivalent electrical design tools.

• Experience using NX, CATIA, or SolidWorks Electrical for 3D harness routing and integration.

• Strong understanding of electrical systems design principles, grounding/shielding practices, and connector standards.

• Demonstrated ability to interpret and produce complex technical documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and installation drawings.

• Deep familiarity with industry standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, ABYC, and ABS.

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
