About The Position

Castelion is seeking a Senior Flight Harness Design Engineer to lead the design, development, and integration of electrical harnessing across missile and vehicle systems. The role is responsible for delivering robust, manufacturable, high-reliability electrical connectivity and supporting avionics and harness integration at system and vehicle levels. The engineer will work closely with avionics, power, structures, and propulsion teams in a fast-paced, hardware-rich environment.

The position may require access to classified information or restricted U.S. Government sites, systems, or information. If applicable, employment may depend on obtaining and maintaining the required security clearance or other government authorization, and meeting citizenship or other eligibility requirements. Employment is also contingent upon the ability to access applicable export-controlled information without additional export licensing.

• At least 5 years of experience in cable harness design for aerospace, defense, or high-reliability hardware systems.
• Experience with CAD/ECAD tools for harness design, such as CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks Electrical, Capital, RapidHarness, AutoCAD, or equivalent.
• Strong knowledge of aerospace wiring standards, such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739, or MIL-SPEC requirements.
• Experience with harnessing in high-thermal and small-volume environments.
• Hands-on experience supporting harness manufacturing, assembly, and testing.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with avionics, power, propulsion, and integration teams.
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills in test and integration environments.
• Ability to access applicable export-controlled information without requiring additional export licensing; applicable government authorization or eligibility requirements may also apply if designated.

Responsibilities

• Design, route, and document electrical harnesses for missile and vehicle system integration.
• Generate wiring diagrams, schematics, and harness assembly drawings in accordance with aerospace standards.
• Select wires, connectors, backshells, shielding, and protection materials to meet environmental and system requirements.
• Collaborate with avionics, power, and structural engineering teams to integrate harnesses into vehicle designs.
• Develop and maintain harness bills of materials and ensure designs are manufacturable at scale.
• Support harness build, installation, and troubleshooting during integration and testing.
• Ensure designs meet electrical, mechanical, and thermal requirements for high-reliability aerospace applications.
• Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency, manufacturability, and quality.
• Support avionics and harness integration at the system and vehicle levels.
