About the role

  • This is a hands-on individual-contributor role with end-to-end ownership.
  • This role sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and test.
  • There are no organizational handoffs when a difficult problem crosses the boundary between harnessing, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, software, or test engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Develop greenfield harness and connector designs from initial requirements and architecture through field-tested, production-ready implementation.
  • Own harness architecture, connector selection, wire and cable selection, grounding and shielding definitions, current ratings, routing, packaging, validation requirements, production release, and sustaining improvements.
  • Personally create harness drawings, cable assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, connector documentation, BOMs, manufacturing documentation, and release packages.
  • Design harnesses that support power distribution, high-current vehicle harnessing, digital communications, sensors, actuators, embedded compute, motor controllers, battery systems, and vehicle-level electrical interfaces.
  • Own harness routing and packaging, including strain relief, clamp placement, bend radius, abrasion and chafing protection, connector access, service loops, assembly sequence, maintainability, and manufacturability.
  • Evaluate harness designs for electrical performance, including voltage drop, current carrying capacity, derating, thermal rise, connector margin, grounding, bonding, shielding, isolation, EMI/EMC behavior, signal integrity, and noise susceptibility.
  • Review board schematics and connector pinouts and help maintain harness- and connector-related aspects of PCBA designs.
  • Work closely with Avionics, Power Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, and Test Engineering to define and validate vehicle electrical and mechanical interfaces.
  • Define harness validation requirements and work with Manufacturing Engineering and Test Engineering to develop procedures for continuity, isolation, signal quality, environmental exposure, vibration, system integration, and production acceptance.
  • Support prototype builds, sea trials, production testing, manufacturing transition, deployed-hardware failure analysis, and sustaining improvements throughout the product lifecycle.

Requirements

  • Deep practical experience designing wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, connector systems, or vehicle electrical interconnects for complex electromechanical systems.
  • Experience personally creating harness drawings, cable assembly drawings, wiring diagrams, connector documentation, BOMs, and manufacturing-ready release documentation.
  • Experience with major mechanical CAD, harness design, and PCBA design tools.
  • Ability to read and work with mechanical CAD, schematics, PCB documentation, connector documentation, datasheets, and interface requirements.
  • Experience with power distribution, high-current vehicle harnessing, and a range of common digital, serial, differential, and RF vehicle interfaces.
  • Experience defining harness validation requirements and working with manufacturing and test teams to turn those requirements into repeatable procedures.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal oversight while collaborating closely across Avionics, Power Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, and Test Engineering.
  • Willingness to support sea trials and field testing when required.
  • Odin Dynamics, Inc. participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.

Nice to have

  • Taking a wiring harness, cable assembly, connector system, or vehicle interconnect architecture from a blank sheet through prototype, test, production release, and operational deployment.
  • Autonomous vehicles, underwater systems, UAVs, robotics, aerospace, automotive, motorsport, marine systems, industrial equipment, energy systems, space systems, or other tightly integrated electromechanical products.
  • Designing harnesses, cables, connectors, or electrical interconnects for harsh or environmentally sealed vehicle applications.
  • Hands-on harness fabrication experience for prototyping, including crimping, soldering, shield termination, backshell assembly, connector assembly, continuity testing, or insulation testing.
  • FEA or simulation experience for strain, vibration, retention, thermal exposure, or mechanical robustness.
  • Specialized harness or environmental test equipment experience, such as network analyzers, TDRs, cable analyzers, thermal cameras, environmental chambers, or pull testers.
  • Familiarity with applicable harness, connector, and workmanship standards.

Visa & Work Authorization

  • Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license.
