Electrical Design Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM

You will be joining the Gambit product team, dedicated to delivering our flagship autonomous defense platform. Our multi-disciplinary team brings together experts in hardware design, electrical engineering, software systems, and flight operations to solve high-impact defense challenges. We work in an agile, fast-paced environment where iteration is continuous and collaboration across domain boundaries is key to success. In this role, you will collaborate closely with system architects, mechanical engineers, and manufacturing specialists to translate complex electrical requirements into reliable flight hardware. Together, we are building battle-tested systems designed to safeguard European and national security.

YOUR MISSION

As an Electrical Design Engineer, you turn electrical concepts and schematics into complete, production-ready design packages and wiring systems optimized for rapid manufacturing and maintenance. You aren't just drafting wire diagrams; you are ensuring that hundreds of aircraft can be assembled with zero wiring errors and absolute repeatability on the factory floor.

WHAT YOU WILL DO AT STARK

• Harness Documentation: Define and maintain complete electrical harness schematics, interconnect diagrams, block diagrams, and formboard manufacturing packages.
• Cable Routing & 3D Packaging: Route harness bundles within CAD environments, considering thermal, mechanical, clearance, bend-radius, and EMC constraints.
• BOM & Component Lifecycles: Select wires, pins, connectors, backshells, heat-shrink, and protection layers; build precise BOMs and manage part configurations.
• Manufacturing Collaboration: Work directly with assembly technicians and manufacturing teams to resolve line stops, design errors, and routing conflicts in real-time.
• Production Bring-Up: Support first-article builds, harness testing (continuity, hi-pot), and physical installation into vehicle prototypes.
• DFMA Optimization: Continuously refine harness designs to reduce mass, assembly step complexity, manufacturing unit cost, and rework rates.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE MISSION

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
• Proven track record designing electrical harnesses, schematics, and routing for aerospace, automotive, robotic, or defense platforms.
• Proficiency with ECAD tools (e.g., E3.series, Zuken, Altium, Capital) and 3D CAD routing environments (e.g., NX, CATIA, SolidWorks).
• Strong understanding of IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards, crimp tooling selection, connector families, and shielding/grounding techniques.
• Hands-on experience in production environments, first-article assembly, and troubleshooting electrical integration issues.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with high-voltage systems and electric powertrain architecture.
