Electrical/Wire Harness Design Engineer

Accenture Federal Services•San Antonio, TX

About The Position

Accenture Federal Services is seeking Electrical / Wire Harness Design Engineers for an up-conversion team on a modernization program for a major aerospace & defense manufacturer. The role performs the core electrical conversion work: turning legacy 2D wiring diagrams, schematics, and harness or cable drawings into structured, model-based electrical definitions in Zuken E3.series, then releasing them into the client's PLM system.

Requirements

3 - 7 years of electrical design engineering experience.
Hands-on ECAD experience in a major toolset, for example Zuken E3.series, Mentor Capital or Capital Essentials, EPLAN, or Mentor/Xpedition.
A track record of creating and modifying electrical schematics, wiring and cable definitions, and the related engineering data.
Working knowledge of connectors, pin-outs, wire sizing, and shielding.
Readiness to learn Zuken E3.series through structured training.
U.S. Citizenship is required.

Nice To Haves

Direct Zuken E3.series experience, and especially the library, standards, or DS-E3/PDM administration side, which is a scarcer and separately valued skill.
Harness and cable design, including manufacturing documentation, formboards, and EMI/EMC design rules.
Direct experience in a close-substitute ECAD tool: Mentor Capital or Capital Essentials, EPLAN, or Mentor/Xpedition.
Electro-mechanical integration exposure, such as MCAD/ECAD co-design and NX or CATIA routing and path-length constraints.
PLM experience such as Windchill, and model-based up-conversion or remastering work.
Aerospace & defense industry experience.

Responsibilities

Build electrical definitions in E3.series: wiring diagrams and cable or harness models with connectors, connection lines, conductors, signals, splices, and shields carrying the right attributes.
Ensure connectivity is correct: lines land on the correct pins with conductors assigned, signal names carry end to end, and connector, cable, and shield attributes are complete.
Maintain a clean, well-structured device tree, with components grouped into assemblies, correct part-number attribution, and no stray items.
Reconcile the E3 BOM with the PLM BOM.
Account for interfacing electrical structure during conversion, support obsolescence review, and provide process and template improvements to the technical lead.
