You will be responsible for harness and wiring system design, analysis, testing and integration on some of the largest, most powerful, rapidly designed and manufactured satellites. You will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with a cross functional team of engineers and own trades to reduce cost, increase integration rate, and decrease mass of bus and payload harnessing. You will be the Responsible Engineer for harness system design and components such as connectors, wire and cable, instrumentation, and heaters. You will help establish production test requirements and support vehicle avionics integration to enable high-rate production and constellation launch cadence. In your first two years, you will have qualified hardware for flight, completed avionics integration on the satellite bus, and flown your hardware through intense LEO, MEO and GEO environments
Serve as Responsible Engineer for harness system design for bus avionics, mechanisms, RF systems, and payloads across the Mega and Giga satellites
Define interface control documents for avionics boxes and bulkheads to optimize system diagrams and schematics
Design, analyze, and release harnessing and secondary mounting hardware in CAD and production drawings based on system schematics and vehicle layout
Drive design trades to reduce cost and select harness components such as connectors, contacts, wire/cables, shield braid, heaters, RTDs and more
Collaborate closely with the manufacturing engineering and technicians on the harness and electro-mechanical subassembly teams to solve in process issues and ensure high reliability
Execute development and qualification testing of harness components and assemblies for critical space missions in MEO and GEO orbits
Collaborate closely with the cross functional engineering teams to capture requirements, lead design trades, and integrate the design into the spacecraft systems
Effectively manage and communicate project plan, milestones, and schedule execution
