This candidate will own the development, validation, and enforcement of harness design standards to mitigate issues such as noise, crosstalk, and unintended behavior., * Electrical Integrity Ownership: Lead analysis and mitigation strategies for signal degradation, transient susceptibility, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in harnesses and electromechanical systems. * Grounding & Shielding Strategy: Define and validate grounding schemes (single-point, multi-point, hybrid) for test systems and shielding approaches for sensitive signal lines. * Harness Design Standards: Specify technical requirements for: * Shielded vs unshielded cable use * Twisted pair implementation * Low speed, high speed, and RF signals * Separation and routing guidelines for mixed-signal harnessing * Design Review Participation: Partner with flight and test engineering teams during early design phases to influence harness design and interconnects to ensure electrical signal integrity. * Failure Investigations: Serve as the go-to owner for root cause analysis (RCA) of harness anomalies relating to electrical integrity, test harness and verification anomalies, and electromechanical test system. * Documentation & Compliance: Develop interface control documents (ICDs), block interconnect diagrams (BIDs), electrical schematics, test harnessing specifications, and a signal integrity standards library. A day in the life As a Hardware Design Engineer focused on Harness design, you will be working closely with all hardware sub-system and support teams on a daily basis. You will be asked to utilize first principles thinking to help troubleshoot electrical and integration issues that relate to harnessing. You will work to innovate on behalf of our customers and solve complex problems with novel hardware design. You will play an integral part in requirements gathering for harness product development and will have opportunities to influence other engineering teams to develop the best product to delight our customers. About the team On the System Integration Team you will work directly with members of the Avionics, Power Distribution, Structures, and Perception hardware the software teams to support platforms currently in production, and future development to improve reliability while reducing cost and weight. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [10M Data Records Lost, Underwater Computing, and Psychedelic Fish - Matthias Geniar](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1908-10m-data-records-lost-underwater-computing-and-psychedelic-fish-matthias-geniar) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Develop on Windows, Deploy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1600-develop-on-windows-deploy-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Data-Oriented Programming - Version 1.1](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1634-data-oriented-programming-version-1-1) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [Are design and development really just the same thing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/520-are-design-and-development-really-just-the-same-thing) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
