Job description

Cabelio Systems is a U.S.-based wire harness manufacturer on Florida's Space Coast, founded by former SpaceX and Blue Origin leaders. We build flight- and mission-critical harnesses and cable assemblies to IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3, the industry's highest workmanship standard, powered by our own design and quoting software. We're a small, fast-moving team that takes pride in building things right the first time.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Cabelio builds high-reliability wire harnesses and cable assemblies for aerospace and defense customers on Florida's Space Coast. We pair a modern design-and-quoting platform with a hands-on production floor, and we're small enough that the work you do shapes both.

As an Engineer, you'll own the path from customer requirement to production-ready hardware. You'll review designs for manufacturability, develop harness designs in the Cabelio platform, generate BOMs and work instructions, and stay close to the floor so what you design actually builds clean. You'll also help shape the tools we're building to do all of this faster.

Anticipated start date: late September 2026.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own harness designs from customer inputs (sketches, block diagrams, PDFs, schematics) through production-ready drawings, wire lists, and BOMs.
• Run design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews and flag issues before they reach the floor.
• Develop work instructions, layout boards / formboards, and first-article builds, and support first-article inspection.
• Support test fixture development and validate harness designs electrically and mechanically.
• Work the production floor with technicians to resolve crimp, routing, test, and assembly issues, run root-cause on defects, and drive first-pass yield up.
• Manage revision control and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and keep documentation and configuration clean.
• Ensure designs meet customer specifications and IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2 and Class 3 workmanship.
• Contribute to the Cabelio design and quoting platform and help decide what we automate next.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Degree in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience.
• Familiarity with wire harness or cable design and manufacturing processes.
• Comfortable with CAD and engineering documentation, and able to read complex drawings and customer specs.
• Strong problem‑solving and clear communication, and comfortable spending significant time on the production floor (ESD protocols, smoke‑free facility).
• Able to work on‑site in Melbourne, FL.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 (Class 2 and Class 3); CIS or CIT certification a plus.
• Experience with automated wire manufacturing equipment
• Experience with mil‑spec connectors (for example MIL‑DTL‑38999).
• Background at an aerospace, defense, EV, or robotics company.
• Experience with harness design software and configuration management / ECO processes.
• Comfort in a fast‑moving startup where the toolset is still being built.
