  • Ability to conduct thorough analysis and testing of wire harness designs to ensure compliance with applicable industry standards, safety regulations, and performance requirements.
  • Knowledge of industry standards and regulations related to wire harness design, such as IPC-WHMA-A-620 and ISO 9001.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and electronic loads.
  • Detail-oriented approach with a high level of accuracy in design documentation and technical specifications.
  • Excellent written and spoken communication skills. 
  • Aerospace industry experience.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
