Senior Wire Harness Design Engineer - Large Platforms

DescriptionOur customer is scaling rapidly across its engineering organization and is seeking Senior Wire Harness Design Engineers to support its Large Platforms product line, with one opening in Austin, TX and one in New Orleans, LA. The Large Platforms team is currently a group of 5 with strong existing depth in industrial automation and marine ship design. The specific need is for someone with genuine aerospace EWIS architecture experience ideally across 2 programs who brings the process discipline of a regulated aerospace environment along with the energy to apply that rigor in a fast-moving new industry. This role requires independently architecting and implementing complete wiring systems: selecting wires and connectors, defining pin-outs, defining shielding strategy, and specifying physical accommodations for harsh marine operating environments. Unlike a narrower, more repeatable product line, this team works across genuinely diverse and complex systems. Key Responsibilities - Architect and independently implement complete wiring systems for Large Platform vessel programs - Select wires, connectors, and shielding strategies; define pin-outs and physical accommodations for harsh marine environments - Own both electrical and physical/mechanical design inputs for wire harness systems - Produce and interpret complex technical documentation with strong configuration control and change management discipline - Communicate design decisions clearly across engineering, program, and manufacturing stakeholders - Apply aerospace-grade process rigor to the customer's engineering environment - Work across diverse and varied product challenges rather than a single repeatable platform Required Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field strongly preferred; equivalent experience considered - Austin role: 7 to 10 years of relevant experience. New Orleans role: 5 to 10 years, with 7-10 preferred - Genuine aerospace EWIS architecture experience, ideally spanning 2 programs - Demonstrated ability to independently architect and implement a wiring system, including component selection, pin-out definition, and shielding strategy - Hands-on experience with an ECAD tool (Zuken E3, Siemens Capital, EPLAN, or equivalent), a PLM tool (Windchill, Arena, or equivalent), and an MCAD tool (NX, Creo, CATIA, or SolidWorks) - Strong technical documentation and configuration control disciplineSkillsEWIS, Wiring system Architecture, Wiring system architecture and implementation, ECAD, MCAD, PLM, Zuken E3, Catia, Teamcenter, Siemens Capital, NXTop Skills DetailsEWIS,Wiring system Architecture,Wiring system architecture and implementation,ECAD,MCAD,PLMAdditional Skills & Qualifications- Experience at Airbus, Lockheed, BAE Systems, or Boeing - Agriculture equipment industry experience (John Deere, Volvo) - Experience across genuinely diverse and complex product types - Brief or informal project/team leadership experience - Demonstrated energy and adaptability moving from a highly regulated legacy industry into a fast-moving startup environment Gap is aerospace EWIS architecture experience someone who has done this in an aerospace context, ideally across 2 programs. Culture fit note: the client wants someone with genuine enthusiasm to apply aerospace-grade process rigor to a new industry. A candidate who has spent 20 years at a single legacy aerospace company (old-school Boeing, for example) may not be the right cultural fit even with the right technical background energy and adaptability matter as much as tenure. background fit: agriculture equipment companies (John Deere, Volvo) have been a strong secondary source, since that industry deals with comparably complex environmental and mechanical design challenges. Screening emphasis per hiring manager: where the candidate worked and what the company does; whether they've walked a single product through every phase of the design process; whether they led a project or group, even briefly, and how; whether they actively improved a process and what resulted from it; and whether they can speak from a functional perspective about specific component and placement decisions they made and justify them.Experience LevelExpert LevelJob Type & LocationThis is a Permanent position based out of Austin, TX.Pay and BenefitsThe pay range for this position is $140000.00 - $170000.00/yr.
