What is the difference between Cable Designer vs Cable Engineer?

AspectCable DesignerCable Engineer
CredentialsTypically requires a diploma or associate degree in electrical or mechanical engineeringUsually requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, CAD software, collaborative teamsDesign, testing labs, project sites, engineering teams
Industry UsageUsed in product design, manufacturing, and developmentInvolved in system design, testing, and implementation

While both roles focus on cables, Cable Designers primarily create detailed designs and specifications using CAD tools, whereas Cable Engineers oversee the technical aspects of cable systems, including testing and implementation. The roles often overlap but differ in scope and responsibilities within the electrical and telecommunications industries.

How do you become a cable designer?

To become a cable designer, typically a person needs a high school diploma or equivalent, followed by post-secondary education such as a degree in electrical engineering, electronics, or a related field. Gaining experience with CAD software and understanding electrical standards is important, and some roles may require certifications or on-the-job training in cable design and manufacturing processes.

Job description

About Quartus
Quartus Engineering Incorporated (www.quartus.com) is a leading provider of engineering services and integrated hardware solutions for a wide range of clients and industries. We employ advanced computer-aided engineering tools in the areas of optics, structural, thermal, and coupled analyses. We couple our engineering analysis capabilities with design, prototype, integration and test capabilities to create solutions for our clients that are of extraordinary value.
About Applied Photonics Sector
Applied Photonics is a business unit within Quartus that focuses on the practical application of the science and technology of light. Our teams develop innovative products as well as custom optical and metrology solutions for commercial and industrial applications. Our expertise spans precision metrology, robotics, machine vision, semiconductor and emerging photonic technologies including quantum optics. Typical development cycles begin with defining customer objectives, progress through all stages of design and analysis, and conclude with hardware build and rigorous testing.
Our clients range from large, industry-leading organizations to agile startup-style companies. We pride ourselves on bridging diverse perspectives and delivering advanced technical systems that meet each program's budget and schedule constraints.
Our multidisciplinary team-comprising optical, opto-mechanical, mechanical, electrical, and software engineers-works in a highly collaborative environment where communication and team ethics are paramount.
What will you do?
As an Electrical Designer, you will own schematic capture, cabling drawings, panel documentation, and 2D mechanical drawing production across a wide range of engineering programs. Projects span from precision optical subassemblies with well-defined interfaces to complete automation systems involving PLCs, electrical cabinets, and integrated PCs.
This is a SolidWorks-native role requiring the use of SolidWorks Electrical Professional for 3D harness routing and 2D schematic/cabling documentation. On the mechanical side you will work within SolidWorks to produce 2D manufacturing and assembly drawings from existing 3D models.
Essential Job Functions:
Electrical Documentation
  • Develop 2D schematics, wiring diagrams, wire lists, and harness/cable drawings in SolidWorks Electrical Professional, linked to the 3D mechanical model
  • Generate and maintain panel layouts for electrical cabinets including PLC I/O, power distribution, and PC/compute integration
  • Translate system interface control documents (ICDs) into compliant cabling designs for optical and motion subassemblies where scope is bounded to motors, sensors, and signal/power interconnect
  • Build and maintain component/connector libraries within SolidWorks Electrical - pinouts, wire gauge, color coding, manufacturer part numbers
  • Generate and synchronize BOMs directly from schematics through design revisions
Mechanical Drawing Production
  • Produce 2D detail drawings, assembly drawings, and drawing packages from existing SolidWorks models - fully dimensioned with GD&T, tolerances, notes, and title block per drawing standards
  • Create exploded views, section cuts, presentation configurations, and documentation-oriented model manipulations (part visibility, color states, simplified representations) to support assembly instructions, proposals, and customer deliverables
  • Maintain drawing revision history and ensure drawing packages stay synchronized with model changes
Cross-functional
  • Coordinate with mechanical, optical, and controls engineers to resolve interface questions, routing conflicts, and panel space constraints
  • Support design reviews and project milestone deliverables with complete, fabrication-ready documentation packages

Location
Position is based on site in San Diego.
What are we looking for?
  • Associate degree in electrical/CAD drafting, electrical engineering technology, or related field; equivalent combination of education and hands-on SolidWorks Electrical Professional experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • 3+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience with SolidWorks CAD ecosystem, specifically:
    • SolidWorks Electrical Professional - both 3D harness/routing design and 2D schematic/cabling documentation.
    • SolidWorks Mechanical - producing 2D detail and assembly drawings from existing models, including exploded views and presentation configurations. Full 3D part modeling is not required
  • Demonstrated experience generating wire lists, cable harness drawings, and panel schematics for fabricated hardware.
  • Experience generating dimensioned manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks per ASME Y14.5, including proper application of GD&T controls, tolerance callouts, and drawing notes for fabricated parts and assemblies
  • Comfort working across varied project scopes, from cabling packages to full cabinet builds with PLCs and significant I/O requirements.
  • Ability to work from system architecture diagrams, ICDs, and I/O lists produced by engineers, and deliver complete documentation
  • Must be a US Person (US Citizen or US Permanent Resident)

Compensation and Benefits
Electrical Designer pay range: $36.00/hour - $48.00/hour*
*This range represents base pay. In addition, you may be eligible for additional benefits and compensation.
Referral eligibility: Tier 1
Quartus is an equal opportunity employer and we are committed to employing a diverse workforce, including, but not limited to, minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans. Quartus provides comprehensive benefits including competitive salary, discretionary performance-based bonus, employee stock ownership plan, medical, dental, vision, and 401k plan with company match.
