This Senior Test & Integration Engineer role focuses on owning electrical interconnect systems across UAV platforms. You will design, build, and validate wiring harnesses for demanding environments, working cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and test teams. The role involves hands-on integration, validation, and troubleshooting, as well as transitioning designs from prototype to production. You will also contribute to test infrastructure and drive root-cause analysis of failures.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end design of UAV wiring harnesses: concept → prototype → production.
Design for power, high-speed signals, RF, and mixed-signal systems under tight size, weight, and power constraints
Rapidly iterate on harness layouts, routing, and packaging with mechanical and electrical teams
Full harness design including connectors, shielding strategies, wire types, and protection
schemes for harsh environments (vibration, temperature, EMI)
Drive design decisions with a focus on reliability, manufacturability, and field serviceability
Lead bring-up and integration of harnesses into full vehicle systems
Define and execute validation: continuity, insulation resistance, shielding effectiveness, and system-level functional checks.
Identify and fix issues quickly during integration and flight test cycles
Work directly with technicians and vendors to transition harnesses from prototype to production
Define build processes, QA checks, and acceptance criteria
Troubleshoot production issues (opens/shorts, intermittent faults, connector failures, shielding gaps)
Continuously improve harness designs based on production and field feedback
Own root-cause analysis of electrical interconnect failures in lab, production, and field
Use oscilloscopes, DMMs, hipot testers, and other tools to diagnose complex issues
Drive corrective actions quickly and prevent recurrence
Create and maintain harness drawings, pinouts, and build docs
Keep documentation lightweight, accurate, and usable by technicians
Maintain revision control without slowing down development speed

Requirements

● 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and building wiring harnesses or electrical
interconnect systems
● Deep understanding of connectors, shielding, grounding, and cable design for real-world
environments
● Strong ability to read and create schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness documentation.
● Proven experience taking hardware from prototype through production
● Comfortable working with standard electrical test equipment (DMMs, oscilloscopes,
continuity/hipot testers)
● Demonstrated ability to move fast, iterate quickly, and solve problems with minimal direction

Nice to have

Experience with UAVs, aerospace systems, robotics, or other high-performance hardware
Familiarity with EMI/EMC best practices and high-reliability design
Experience with harness CAD tools (SolidWorks Electrical, CATIA, Zuken, Altium, etc.)
Background in designing or supporting test fixtures, breakout systems, or test racks
Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers or in-house production teams
