• Build, modify, and validate prototype and test harnesses

• Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical issues during vehicle bring-up, testing, and service

• Conduct root cause analysis and implement design improvements to enhance reliability

• Drive improvements in harness manufacturability, durability, and serviceability

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams and Tier 1 suppliers on DFM, validation, and production ramp

• Review and release 2D drawings and 3D routing designs

We’re excited about you because…

• Hands-on experience with wire harness assembly, modification, troubleshooting, and repair

• Strong fundamentals in:

• Wire sizing and voltage drop analysis

• Connector and terminal selection

• High-speed data systems and shielding techniques
