What does this role look like?

• Support trade studies on cable and harness design approaches and provide technical data for informal and formal design review documentation and presentations.
• Coordinate with thermal, dynamic, stress, reliability, EMC, and survivability analyses to assure compliant designs.
• Support manufacturing and test disciplines in minimizing cycle time and resolving problems.
• Establish specifications for contract assemblers and raw-material vendors.
• Interface with Parts Engineering, Quality Assurance and Purchasing regarding material quality and vendor performance.
• Provide producible designs that meet technical, cost, and schedule requirements, and work within an Integrated Product Team environment.
• Prepare all applicable drawings and documentation needed for the fabrication and assembly of the hardware designed.

Key Activities You Will Accomplish In This Role

• Develop Cable designs, performance and test requirements, and stress and thermal analysis.
• Identify initial physical architecture for the Avionics subsystem.
