Harness Manufacturing Engineer
About The Position
EnduroSat is seeking a Harness Manufacturing Engineer to support the design and documentation of electrical wiring harnesses for satellite systems. Working closely with senior engineers, the engineer will create accurate schematics, electrical drawings, and harness specifications, and contribute to the design, integration, and validation of 2D harness schematics and drawings. The role offers the opportunity to develop expertise in electrical interconnection design, standards compliance, and spacecraft systems integration under the mentorship of experienced wiring harness design engineers. The position involves producing and updating eCAD diagrams and harness documentation, designing layouts with accurate connector pinouts, cable specifications, and signal routing, and supporting PCB design and documentation according to IPC and ECSS standards. The engineer will collaborate with system and mechanical teams, participate in design reviews and validation, assist with harness assembly and troubleshooting, and support electrical testing. EnduroSat describes its environment as fast-paced and delivery-focused, with hands-on learning, mentorship, challenging R&D, career development, and opportunities to participate in its Space Educational Program.
