• Identify issues in engineering and manufacturing and drive resolution using appropriate resources and cross‑functional collaboration.
• Review engineering specifications, drawings, and processes; confer across functional areas (MFGE, IHD Design, Quality, Supply Chain, Production) to provide and obtain technical information.
• Perform Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews for Initial Releases; complete checklists and collaborate between MFGE and IHD Design to ensure manufacturability and drawing completeness.
• Support DFM efforts to ensure consistency, use of standard parts, practices, and processes, and to minimize custom tooling.
• Provide integration support during aircraft production first builds of avionics and harnesses; verify installation requirements are properly communicated and depicted on engineering documentation.
• Support sustainment of released products, including performing mechanical failure investigations and recommending design and process improvements.
• Provide on-site support Electrical Lab support
• Provide on‑site production liaison support to the cable shop: triage build and drawing issues, investigate root cause, and develop corrective actions.
• Submit Change Requests (CRs) to address drawing and specification issues; coordinate with Design Teams to cut in new processes or requirements into production.
• Use engineering tools (splice distance calculator, splice lookup tool, component tool, wire bundle calculator) to verify configurations and support investigations.
• Support dual‑source efforts by helping ensure consistent technical requirements, manufacturability, and build quality across multiple suppliers.
• Develop splice wire filler configurations, including creating CAD files, performing fit checks, and updating internal tools and documentation.
• Support mechanical and environmental testing/qualification of cable and harness assemblies, including test planning, coordination, fabrication of samples, and documentation of results.
• May participate in the development of new tooling using 3D printing techniques for proof of concept or in support of mechanical or electrical test efforts.
• Document analyses, test results, and implemented solutions; present findings and recommendations to engineering, manufacturing, and management.
• Maintain a strong focus on safety, quality, and continuous improvement in all activities.
• Perform additional functions and other duties as assigned or required.

• Typically requires a bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and two or more years of engineering experience with a bachelor’s degree. May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.
• Mechanical Engineering degree preferred
• Basic understanding of engineering concepts, principles, and theory, with the ability to apply them to cable/harness design, integration, and production.
• Ability to understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately in an evolving environment; capable of organizing work assignments to meet established schedules and milestones.
• Experience with SAE‑AS50881 and IPC‑620 standards is desired.
• Strong communication, computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team; able to perform complex tasks in one engineering area and may provide direction to design or technician staff.
• Ability to work extended hours as required to support production and integration schedules.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance is required.
