• Generate and maintain documentation for harnesses, components, and assemblies.
• Partner with mechanical engineers on system-level design and integration.
• Diagnose and resolve electrical issues using lab equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, current probes, etc.).
• Participate in prototype builds, troubleshooting, and documenting design challenges.
• Evaluate designs for performance, safety, maintainability, and compliance with environmental standards.
• Support engineering analysis through simulations, design reviews, and performance verification.
• Create and revise design layouts for parts, assemblies, and functional units.
• Learn and develop CAD-based wire routing skills.
• Lead or participate in design and documentation reviews to ensure quality and effective communication.
• Investigate design problems and propose solutions.

What We’re Looking For: 

• 8+ years of engineering technician experience in harness design, fabrication, and electrical troubleshooting.
• Strong knowledge of circuit fundamentals.
• Proficiency with electrical test equipment.
• Hands-on aptitude and strong problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with wire harness manufacturing processes.
• Ability to solder and troubleshoot down to the component level.
• Experience with - or willingness to learn - CAD tools such as CREO and Altium.
• Ability to build prototypes from schematics or drawings.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work across cultures and disciplines.
• Adaptable, flexible, and comfortable in a dynamic environment.
• Detail-oriented with critical thinking skills and a positive, collaborative mindset.

What Sets You Apart: 

• Bachelor’s or Associates Degree.
• Comprehensive knowledge of wire harness design, materials, and manufacturing.
• Comfort working in an agile, fast-paced environment.
• Self-starter with initiative and ownership.
• Experience with:
  • Electronic hardware design and troubleshooting at the component level.
  • CREO Schematic and Wiring Systems.
  • 3D modeling software (CREO, SolidWorks, or similar).
  • Altium Schematic Capture and PCB Design.
  • Modifying/building boards and cables from schematics or drawings.
  • Industrial or automotive product development.

Where and When You’ll Work: 

• This is an in-person role located at our Rochester, New York office—ideal for those who thrive in a hands-on, team-oriented environment.
