Job description

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

Engineering & Development

• 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
• Investigate technical challenges with Production, Quality, and other departments; recommend process improvements

Hands‑On Contribution

• Troubleshoot, fabricate, repair, and test aircraft wiring harnesses and electrical components
• Apply wire harness design and manufacturing principles to develop practical, implementable repair solutions
• Validate new repair processes and work instructions directly with technicians on the shop floor
• Manage multiple engineering projects and priorities while meeting deadlines

Why Join Niacc‑Avitech?

The Opportunity

Work on systems that directly impact aerospace safety and performance. You'll see your repairs implemented by skilled technicians and understand the real‑world impact of your engineering work—not just theoretical outcomes.

The Environment

We value engineers who are curious and hands‑on. You won't be siloed in an office; you'll collaborate directly with technicians, quality professionals, and production teams to solve problems together.

The Organization

As part of HEICO Corporation, you'll benefit from the resources and stability of a major aerospace leader while maintaining the agility and focus of a specialized repair facility.

The Role

This position offers genuine technical variety. You'll spend your time designing solutions, troubleshooting systems, and learning the practical constraints that separate good engineering from great engineering.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, OR equivalent technical education combined with 3+ years of relevant professional experience
• Demonstrated experience with electrical wire harnesses, wiring systems, or aerospace electrical components
• Proficiency reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering drawings
• Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
• Strong attention to detail
• Ability to perform under pressure in a fast‑paced environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Aerospace, aviation component repair, or aircraft manufacturing experience
• Familiarity with FAA Part 145 repair facility operations and regulatory requirements
• Experience with MIL‑SPEC or aerospace‑grade wiring and electrical standards
• Prior hands‑on experience with aircraft systems or components

Professional Attributes

• Strong problem‑solving orientation, with the ability to identify root causes and develop effective, practical solutions
• Demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities and operational conditions
• Receptive to new ideas and approaches, while also contributing original solutions and process improvements
• Self‑motivated and results‑driven, with a strong commitment to achieving objectives
• Disciplined, task‑oriented approach to completing assignments and following established procedures accurately and consistently
• Positive, professional attitude that contributes to effective teamwork
• Comfortable taking on new and multiple challenges with confidence
