Harnessing Engineer

Los Angeles$135k–$185kfulltimemidAdded yesterday

About this role

Own the complete harness engineering lifecycle for advanced nuclear microreactors, from wire and connector selection through 3D CAD design, schematic documentation, supplier management, and in-house production. You'll define processes and toolchains while ensuring safety-class compliance across testbed and operational systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and route harnesses in 3D CAD, managing bend radii, thermal clearance, strain relief, and field serviceability
  • Develop wiring diagrams, wire lists, pinout tables, and grounding schemes for all harnesses
  • Select wire gauge, connectors, contacts, and termination tooling based on electrical, environmental, and safety requirements
  • Apply safety-class design principles including physical separation, redundancy, and requirements traceability
  • Manage harness design review gates, release processes, and ECO/PLM workflows under QA oversight
  • Support supplier qualification, RFQ technical packages, and in-house build operations with technician oversight

What they're looking for

  • Harness and cable design (3D CAD routing, schematic design)
  • Wire and connector selection for demanding environments
  • Safety-critical system design (redundancy, independence, traceability)
  • Electrical engineering (current derating, voltage drop, insulation)
  • Manufacturing process design and DFM optimization
  • Supplier quality management and technical communication
  • PLM/ECO/BOM management and design automation tools
  • Nuclear or aerospace industry compliance standards
