  • Process Optimization: Establish and document processes, guidelines, and standards to streamline the installation of wire harnesses, making the process faster, easier, and safer. Identify preferred installation components and methods
  • Damage Mitigation and Repair: Anticipate potential types of damage to wiring harnesses during production and develop mitigation strategies and repair procedures to ensure the integrity and safety of the installation
  • Adapt to High-Rate Production: Plan for production rate increases, analyzing how the production system will need to change to accommodate higher volumes over time
  • Support Certification Efforts: Create process documents, guidelines, and standards required to support the FAA certification efforts and maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement opportunities for continuous improvement within the EWIS production process to enhance quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • Minimum of 6+ years of experience in Harnessing & Wiring design, installation, and manufacturing within the aerospace industry
  • Experience in an environment tied to FAA-certified aircraft
  • Experience with production systems design and optimization, particularly in relation to wire harness installation in aircraft
  • Experience with thermoset carbon fiber prepreg materials and the integration of electrical components into composite structures
  • Proven experience working with external suppliers and contract manufacturers to support low-rate initial production and high-rate scaling
  • Excellent problem-solving skills with a strong ability to anticipate potential issues and develop effective solutions
  • Strong communication skills to collaborate with internal teams, external suppliers, and regulatory bodies
  • Detail-oriented with a focus on process documentation and compliance

Nice to have

  • Experience with managing projects through various phases of aircraft development, including prototype, certification, and production
  • Knowledge of industry standards related to wire harness installation and aerospace manufacturing
  • Familiarity with the design and installation of expanded copper foil layers and surfacing films on OML surfaces
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive results in a fast-paced environment
