Job Description

Shape Next‑Gen Aerospace Hardware

Picture your day: you kick off with a design review for a new power distribution box, refine a cable harness routing to improve manufacturability, step onto the production floor to debug a connector misalignment, and wrap up by validating a test procedure with an oscilloscope in hand. That’s a typical flow for our hands-on engineer supporting a fast-growing aerospace and defense manufacturer.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the design and support of electrical and electromechanical builds—wire harnesses, interconnects, connectors, and distribution enclosures.
  • Read, interpret, and refine electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, customer drawings, and technical specs.
  • Integrate, assemble, test, and troubleshoot hardware on the bench and in production.
  • Create and maintain drawings, test procedures, work instructions, and related engineering documentation.
  • Partner closely with manufacturing to resolve build issues and accelerate throughput.
  • Execute electrical testing using multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, and other lab equipment.
  • Drive projects end-to-end—from requirements capture through manufacturing release and verification.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) or equivalent practical experience.
  • Hands-on background in electrical hardware design, integration, and troubleshooting.
  • Experience with cable harnesses, connectors, electrical assemblies, or power distribution systems.
  • Fluency in reading and interpreting schematics and engineering drawings.
  • Comfort using electrical test equipment and supporting manufacturing operations.
  • Independent problem-solver with a strong sense of ownership.

Preferred Extras

  • Background in aerospace, defense, or electromechanical manufacturing.
  • Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks.
  • Experience with electrical test fixtures, HiPot testing, and hardware validation.
  • Track record taking products from design through production.

Toolbox & Domains

  • Electrical Schematics; Electrical Schematic Reading
  • CAD Software
  • Electrical / Electronic Systems
  • Electrical Troubleshooting
  • Hi-Pot (High Potential) / High Voltage Testing
  • Aerospace Manufacturing; Aircraft Electrical Systems

Compensation

Salary: $115,000–$150,000 annually, including full benefits.

Important Note

This is an electrical hardware engineering role, not a PLC maintenance or software-only position.

Legal & Eligibility

U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, consistent with applicable project requirements.
