Cable Procurement Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Primary Responsibilities

Electrical Integration

• Own the electrical implementation of assigned semiconductor handler modules throughout their entire product lifecycle, including prototype development, production release, manufacturing support, field support, and sustaining engineering.

• Develop and integrate electrical systems for complex industrial equipment, including cable and harness assemblies, high-flex cable systems, e-chain routing, industrial power distribution, electrical protection, control hardware, sensors, safety systems, and associated electrical components.

• Define cable routing to comply with NFPA 79 requirements while minimizing electrical noise (EMI), crosstalk, and supporting long-term system reliability.

• Follow company harness and wiring standards and participate in their continuous improvement in coordination with other engineering groups.

• Coordinate wire harness manufacturing with production, provide technical support during fabrication, and resolve manufacturing issues.

• Coordinate procurement of prototype electrical components and ensure materials are available to support prototype build schedules.

Technical Leadership

• Lead the daily technical activities of wiring engineers and electrical designers.

• Assign and prioritize engineering work.

• Mentor junior engineers.

• Drive technical issues to closure.

• Coordinate engineering activities across multiple disciplines.

• Escalate major technical risks and system-level issues to engineering management when appropriate.

Engineering Documentation & Configuration Management

• Use Zuken E3 as the primary electrical CAD platform to develop and maintain schematics, cable documentation, wire lists, harness drawings, and related engineering documentation.

• Maintain accurate electrical documentation and ensure the electrical portion of the Oracle product BOM remains synchronized with mechanical, firmware, vision, manufacturing, and released product documentation across multiple projects.

• Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), product releases, revision control, and configuration management to ensure released documentation accurately reflects the current product configuration.

Design Reviews

• Review electrical drawings for completeness, consistency, manufacturability, and compliance with company standards before release.

• Prepare technical review packages.

• Schedule and lead electrical design reviews.

• Document review findings, engineering decisions, and action items.

• Drive review action items to completion and ensure all required documentation is complete prior to product release.

Project Coordination

• Coordinate engineering progress across multiple engineers and projects.

• Track engineering deliverables, project milestones, and release schedules.

• Communicate project status, technical risks, and schedule impacts to engineering management.

• Remove technical roadblocks affecting project execution.

• Support manufacturing, system integration, field service, and sustaining engineering throughout the product lifecycle.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.

• Minimum 5 years of designing complex industrial electrical systems, 8 years is preferred

• Hands-on experience with Zuken E3 is highly desired.

• Experience with Altium Designer and AutoCAD (or DraftSight) is highly desirable.

Strong knowledge of:

• Industrial wiring systems, cable assemblies, harness design, connector selection, high-flex cable systems, and e-chain applications.

• AC and DC 3 phase power distribution, circuit protection, relays, contactors, power supplies, filters, and industrial electrical components.

• Sensors, safety systems, industrial control hardware, and electrical integration.

• Cable routing, grounding, shielding, EMI mitigation, NFPA 79, EN60204 and electrical safety.

• Industrial automation systems, commissioning, and troubleshooting.

• Ability to commission, configure, and troubleshoot industrial electrical equipment using vendor software tools is a plus. (Beckhoff TwinCAT, safety controller configuration tools, servo drive software).

• Strong documentation and configuration management skills.

• Excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills.

• Ability to work effectively with electrical, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience with semiconductor capital equipment or other complex automation systems.

• Experience with robotics, motion control, or precision automation equipment.

• Familiarity with functional safety systems.

• Experience leading technical design.

• Experience designing high-flex cable systems for continuously moving industrial equipment.

• Experience supporting prototype builds, manufacturing, and field installations.
