Harness Design Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Harness Design Engineer with a strong focus on mechanical harness engineering to support the development of next-generation energy storage systems. This role is ideal for someone who excels in 3D CAD routing, cross-functional collaboration, and proactively driving design ownership across complex electro-mechanical systems. The successful candidate will have at least 6+ years of experience and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Create 3D harness routing using CAD tools, primarily SolidWorks Harness Routing Module.
• Develop 2D harness layout drawings.
• Design mounting strategies, routing paths, and interface points throughout the system.
• Create simple mechanical parts such as brackets, clamps, strain-relief features, and other installation hardware.
• Generate and maintain detailed documentation including connector and terminal specifications, harness drawings and schematics, Bill of Materials (BOM), installation drawings, and cable and harness construction details.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, test, and systems engineering teams to ensure alignment and integration across the full battery pack system.
• Proactively drive design reviews, resolve interface challenges, and present updates to cross-functional partners.
• Take ownership of harness routing and mechanical integration tasks with minimal oversight.
• Operate proactively to identify gaps, reach out for alignment, and push design progression without needing to be nudged.

Essential Skills

• 6+ years of hands-on harness design experience in mechanical or electro-mechanical systems.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, especially harness routing.
• Strong understanding of mechanical integration principles, packaging, and routing constraints.
• Experience designing brackets, routing supports, clamps, and simple mechanical components.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to present designs clearly to engineering stakeholders.
• Autonomous, proactive working style—drives work forward independently.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Maintenance of component libraries is a bonus skill.
• Experience in generating and maintaining detailed documentation, including connectors, terminals, clamps, and BOM.
