EWIS Design Engineer - 4 month

We are seeking an experienced Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) Design Engineer to support an aircraft engineering work package in Greensboro, NC. This role focuses on both detailed wiring/harness definition and physical 3D harness routing and installation using CATIA. Prior experience supporting aircraft OEM programs is desirable, particularly for a potential on-site coordination assignment.

Wiring Diagrams & Harness Definition

• Develop detailed wiring diagrams (W/D) from customer-provided Electrical System Schematic Diagrams (ESSD).
• Define individual conductors, wire IDs, lengths, connector pin-outs, terminations, and grounding points.
• Generate and maintain Harness Definition Reports (HDR) with wire lengths, IDs, pins, grounds, and manufacturing-ready data.
• Coordinate revisions and resolve discrepancies among ESSD inputs, wiring diagrams, and HDR outputs.

3D Harness Routing & Installation

• Design aircraft harness routing in CATIA, including physical paths, clearances, supports, clips, and attachment points.
• Produce harness installation drawings and integrate routing with aircraft structure and adjacent systems.
• Apply EWIS considerations for separation, protection, accessibility, maintainability, and installation feasibility.
• Collaborate with structures, systems integration, and methods/manufacturing teams to resolve installation issues.

Manufacturing & Project Support

• Support methods teams using wiring diagrams and HDRs to prepare harness jig boards and fabrication instructions.
• Provide engineering clarification for harness fabrication, connectorization, installation, and clipping work instructions.
• Support design changes, configuration control, technical reviews, and shop-floor issue resolution.
• For suitably experienced candidates, potentially coordinate on-site work-package activities, deliverables, and customer communications.

Requirements

• Hands-on aerospace EWIS/harness design experience, including wiring diagrams and harness definition documentation.
• Experience with connector pin assignments, wire IDs, lengths, grounding, and harness configurations.
• CATIA 3D electrical harness routing and aircraft installation design experience.
• Ability to interpret ESSD inputs and translate them into detailed, manufacturable harness designs.
• Experience collaborating with engineering, methods, and manufacturing teams; ability to work on-site in Greensboro.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience supporting aircraft OEM electrical harness design and integration programs.
• Direct experience spanning both W/D and HDR generation and CATIA 3D harness routing.
• Experience with CATIA Electrical Harness Installation or comparable workbenches.
• Knowledge of applicable aircraft OEM EWIS standards, FAA requirements, and technical work-package coordination.

Role Scope Clarification

This is a harness-focused EWIS design position—not an electrical power/load analysis, electrical architecture, or initial ESSD development role. Customer-provided ESSDs are the starting inputs. The desired engineer can support both Part 1 (wiring diagrams/HDR) and Part 2 (3D routing/installation).
