Senior Wire Harness Design Engineer (EWIS)

Saronic Technologies is hiring a Senior Wire Harness Design Engineer (EWIS) to drive EWIS architecture execution for a platform or major subsystem. This onsite role in New Orleans, LA focuses on translating schematic intent into manufacturable harness documentation and dependable vessel integration, while partnering closely with engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers.

In this position, you will own key technical decisions across routing, sizing, EMI/EMC risk, and documentation quality, and you will support verification, validation, and corrective actions as complex integration and wiring issues arise.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain EWIS architectures, schematics, and harness assembly drawings in Zuken E3, emphasizing design intent, configuration control, and manufacturability.
• Lead complex 3D harness routing and packaging trade studies in NX (or equivalent), balancing integration constraints, serviceability, and production repeatability.
• Independently size wiring, shields, and protection devices by evaluating continuous and transient loads, voltage drop, derating, thermal conditions, and fault scenarios.
• Identify and mitigate EMI/EMC risk through grounding/bonding strategy, routing and separation, shielding, and termination choices aligned to system architecture.
• Review and approve EWIS designs created by Level 1 engineers; mentor engineers and raise documentation and design quality across the team.
• Act as a primary EWIS interface to manufacturing and external suppliers, driving build readiness, incorporating DFM feedback, and mitigating schedule or technical risk.
• Plan and review EWIS verification and validation activities; lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for complex wiring, EMI, and integration issues.
• Interpret and enforce IPC/WHMA, ABYC, ABS, and applicable MIL standards, ensuring consistent application across project deliverables and releases.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 5–12+ years of EWIS, harness engineering, or electrical integration experience with demonstrated ownership.
• Proficiency with Zuken E3 (or equivalent) and 3D harness routing/integration tools such as NX (or equivalent).
• Deep expertise in EWIS integration and production support, including independent wire, shield, and protection sizing and strong grounding/bonding/shielding strategies.
• Strong capability to interpret and produce complex technical documentation (schematics, BOMs, harness/installation drawings) while ensuring design intent carries through to installation.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical execution, improve workflows and documentation quality, and mentor engineers.
