EWIS Design Engineer - 4 month
About The Position
We are seeking an experienced Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) Design Engineer to support an aircraft engineering work package in Greensboro, North Carolina. The role covers detailed wiring and harness definition as well as physical 3D harness routing and installation using CATIA. Customer-provided Electrical System Schematic Diagrams (ESSDs) are the starting inputs; this is not an electrical power or load analysis, electrical architecture, or initial ESSD development role. The engineer will develop wiring diagrams and Harness Definition Reports (HDRs), defining conductors, wire IDs and lengths, connector pin-outs, terminations, grounding points, and manufacturing-ready data. The role also includes designing aircraft harness routes and installations in CATIA, producing installation drawings, and coordinating with structures, systems integration, methods, and manufacturing teams. The engineer will support fabrication and installation activities, design changes, configuration control, technical reviews, and shop-floor issue resolution. A suitably experienced candidate may also coordinate on-site work-package activities, deliverables, and customer communications. The desired engineer can support both wiring diagram/HDR work and 3D routing/installation. Previous aircraft OEM program experience is desirable, particularly for a potential on-site coordination assignment.
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.
Nice To Haves
- Previous experience supporting aircraft OEM electrical harness design and integration programs.
- Direct experience spanning both wiring diagram and HDR generation and CATIA 3D harness routing.
- Experience with CATIA Electrical Harness Installation or comparable workbenches.
- Knowledge of applicable aircraft OEM EWIS standards and FAA requirements.
- Experience with technical work-package coordination.
Responsibilities
- Develop detailed wiring diagrams from customer-provided Electrical System Schematic Diagrams (ESSDs).
- Define individual conductors, wire IDs, lengths, connector pin-outs, terminations, and grounding points.
- Generate and maintain Harness Definition Reports (HDRs) containing wire lengths, IDs, pins, grounds, and manufacturing-ready data.
- Coordinate revisions and resolve discrepancies among ESSD inputs, wiring diagrams, and HDR outputs.
- 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.
- 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.
