Harness drawings
Cable routing
Connector and pin-out information
Electrical interface documentation
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Perform electrical component selection, including connectors, terminals, wires, cables, relays, fuses, circuit protection devices, and sensors.
Support integration of electrical and electronic components such as controllers, ECUs, sensors, actuators, switches, and vehicle/network interfaces.
Work closely with mechanical, embedded software, systems, manufacturing, and validation teams to resolve design and integration issues.
Perform engineering calculations for wire sizing, voltage drop, current carrying capacity, fuse/circuit protection, and grounding.
Participate in design reviews and support root-cause analysis of electrical system issues.
Support prototype builds, system integration, troubleshooting, and validation activities.
Create and maintain engineering documentation according to applicable project and quality requirements.
Manage design modifications through Engineering Change Request/Engineering Change Notice (ECR/ECN) processes.
Ensure drawings and design documentation are released and maintained according to configuration-management processes.
Follow applicable ITAR/export-control requirements when handling controlled drawings, technical data, CAD models, and engineering information. The ITAR framework includes specific controls covering technical data and defense articles.
