Harness Engineer

The role

You will build the electrical backbone of satellites by executing harness manufacturing, installation, and verification tasks. You will also write work instructions, provide design-for-manufacturing feedback, and support harness installation on satellite assemblies.

What you will do

• Own the harness build process from drawings and wire tables to finished, verified harness
• Write and maintain work instructions, travelers, checklists, and build procedures
• Provide design-for-manufacturing feedback on wire tables, connector choices, routing, and harness layouts
• Define and improve verification and acceptance testing
• Design or specify test fixtures and tooling
• Lead troubleshooting of build and process issues and own NCRs
• Support harness installation and integration on satellite assemblies
• Ensure work follows IPC/WHMA-A-620, ECSS, and internal standards
• Support and coach technicians
• Maintain a clean, organised, and audit-ready work environment

Required qualifications

• A degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, or Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• At least 3 years of experience in cable and harness manufacturing, electromechanical assembly, or production engineering
• Solid understanding of harness build techniques: crimping, soldering, shielding, lacing, connectorisation, and protective coverings
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, wire tables, schematics, and wiring diagrams
• Experience with electrical testing of harnesses and with defining acceptance criteria
• Structured problem-solving skills and experience with NCRs and root cause analysis
• Clear communication skills
• Proficient English (written and spoken)

Nice to have

• IPC certifications, particularly IPC/WHMA-A-620 or IPC J-STD-001 (Space Addendum)
• Familiarity with aerospace standards (ECSS, IPC) and configuration control
• Experience with harness design tools (e.g. Zuken E3, Capital, SolidWorks Electrical) or 3D harness routing
• Experience with coaxial, shielded, or high-speed cable assemblies
• Exposure to satellite integration or environmental test campaigns (vibration, thermal vacuum)
• Previous work in a cleanroom or under formal ESD controls

Benefits

• Continuous professional development
• Training opportunities

Before you apply

• Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO, where required)
