Job Title: Electrical Designer / Project Engineer (Electrical Focus)

Job Description

This role focuses on supporting engine electrical routing and harness design with a strong emphasis on hands-on troubleshooting and design implementation. You will work closely with manufacturing, quality, and offshore design partners to review, refine, and implement electrical harness layouts and related components. The position is ideal for an early- to mid-career engineer who takes initiative, thinks critically, and thrives in a collaborative engineering environment. While you will perform some direct CAD design, most of your time will be dedicated to reviewing designs, marking up changes, and coordinating updates based on factory and field feedback.

Responsibilities

Support engine electrical routing and harness design, including the layout and integration of brackets, clips, and related hardware.

Perform hands-on troubleshooting of hardware issues such as harnesses rubbing, interfering with components, or presenting routing conflicts.

Evaluate electrical routing issues, identify root causes, and propose practical rerouting options or design fixes.

Develop and support the reasoning for corrective actions and ensure effective implementation of design changes.

Translate electrical schematics into accurate and manufacturable physical harness designs.

Review and mark up design models and drawings based on feedback from factory operations and field performance.

Coordinate design updates and changes with offshore design teams to ensure timely and accurate implementation.

Support NPS partial design work and New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, contributing to new and updated product designs.

Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to align designs with performance, reliability, and production requirements.

Participate in BIQs, Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), and quality audits to ensure design compliance and continuous improvement.

Essential Skills

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.

2+ years of relevant engineering experience

Preferred Skills

Experience with electrical harness design and routing in an industrial or product environment.

Ability to perform physical design and implementation of electrical routing and harness components.

Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics and translating them into physical designs.

Ability to work hands-on with hardware to troubleshoot and resolve routing and interference issues.

Proficiency with Creo for reviewing and supporting 3D design work.

Familiarity with Teamcenter or similar Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems for managing design data and revisions.

Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Outlook, Excel, and Word, for documentation, analysis, and communication.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) or similar product launch activities.

Experience participating in BIQs, ECRs, and quality audits.

Demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal supervision while contributing to a collaborative team.

Strong initiative and ownership mindset, particularly valuable for early-career candidates.
