Essential Functions:

• Lead the architecture, design, review, integration, and support of cable harness assemblies and interconnect solutions for complex flight hardware, lab assets, and ground support equipment using electrical schematic capture and harness design tools such as Capital Harness, Xpedition, or PADS.
• Own detailed interconnect definitions, cable drawings, wire lists, and related engineering documentation, ensuring accuracy, traceability, manufacturability, and configuration control.
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into robust cable and interconnect designs, including conductor selection, shielding and grounding approaches, connector selection, power distribution, and environmental considerations.
• Independently initiate and drive work within the cable and interconnect area, establish technical priorities, and execute assignments with minimal oversight or day-to-day guidance.
• Provide day-to-day technical leadership, tasking, and work review for other engineers, helping grow team capability and maintain consistent engineering quality.
• Lead change impact assessments for existing electronic systems and develop implementation approaches that minimize technical, schedule, and integration risk.
• Partner with systems, mechanical, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and test teams to resolve interface issues, support fabrication, and troubleshoot integration and test discrepancies.
• Support and lead design reviews, peer reviews, root-cause investigations, and corrective actions associated with cable and interconnect hardware.
• Establish and promote best practices, standard work, and reusable design approaches across the cable and interconnect discipline.
