Senior Test & Integration Engineer

We're looking for a Senior Test Integration Engineer to own electrical interconnect systems across our UAV platforms. This is a highly hands-on role focused on designing, building, and validating harnesses that operate in demanding environments. You'll work across electrical, mechanical, and test teams to deliver reliable, lightweight, and production-ready harness solutions, while also contributing to test infrastructure like fixtures and system test racks. This role requires speed, autonomy, and a strong bias toward execution, Harness Design & Ownership

• 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

Build, Integration & Validation

• 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

Production & Scaling

• 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

Failure Analysis & Debugging

• 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

Documentation

• 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

Do you have experience in Schematic development for electrical drafting?, * 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, * 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
