Wire Harness Design Engineer (EWIS)
Job description
Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
Saronic is seeking a skilled Electrical Wiring Interconnection System Engineer, responsible for creating the interconnect architecture for marine platforms at scale. These designs serve as blueprints for manufacturing of harnesses. The role requires a strong understanding of manufacturing practices of individual harnesses and harness integration, excellent communication with electrical systems and mechanical engineers, and system schematic creation and change management.
Job responsibilities
- Develop and maintain EWIS architectures, schematics, and harness assembly drawings in Zuken E3, ensuring drawings contain all information required for manufacturing and installation.
- Use NX computer-aided design (CAD) software to route harnesses in 3D per design and installation standards.
- Review and revise EWIS designs to meet project specifications and standards, including EMC/EMI, current-carrying capacity, voltage drop, and environmental/classification requirements.
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry and military standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, ABYC, ABS, and applicable MIL-STDs, and apply them consistently in design and documentation.
- Provide technical support and troubleshooting during the construction of a harness, factory test, and integration into the vessel; lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for nonconformances.
- Plan and support verification and validation activities (continuity/insulation resistance, hipot, and harness test board checks) and document results for compliance and quality audits.
- Communicate effectively with project managers, suppliers, and production stakeholders to coordinate build readiness, design-for-manufacture feedback, and schedule/risk mitigation.
Job requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
- 5–10+ years of experience in EWIS design, harness engineering, or electrical integration within automotive, marine, or aerospace industries.
- Proficiency in Zuken E3, Siemens Capital, or equivalent electrical design tools.
- Experience using NX, CATIA, or SolidWorks Electrical for 3D harness routing and integration.
- Strong understanding of electrical systems design principles, grounding/shielding practices, and connector standards.
- Demonstrated ability to interpret and produce complex technical documentation, including schematics, BOMs, and installation drawings.
- Deep familiarity with industry standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, ABYC, and ABS.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
