About the Role

Niacc-Avitech Technologies, an FAA Part 145 repair facility specializing in aircraft component repair and overhaul, is seeking an Engineer – Repair Development / Wire Harness to bridge our technical and operational teams.

This is a unique dual-focus position combining technical engineering development (60%) with hands‑on shop floor work (40%). You'll develop repair solutions for aircraft wiring harnesses and electrical components while working directly with technicians to implement and validate your designs.

If you're an engineer who thrives solving real-world technical problems—and enjoys getting your hands dirty alongside the people who execute your work—this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

• Research technical requirements from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, manuals, specifications, and regulatory standards
• Analyze complex technical data and synthesize it into clear, actionable work instructions for repair technicians
• Interpret wiring schematics, electrical diagrams, and engineering specifications; identify repair or manufacturing solutions
• Develop, test, and refine repair procedures, technical documentation, and engineering drawings
• Create technical documentation and drawings that translate your repair solutions into shop floor reality
