Design Engineer (Electrical Routing and Harness Design)

Description

• Develop harness schematics connector table, splice documentation and BOMS
• Create 3D harness design using CAD tools (e.g Solid Edge electrical, NX, Solid works)
• Apply MIL-STD, DEF-STAN, and other relevant defence electrical design standards
• Support prototype builds, integration testing, and root-cause investigations
• Design and model electrical routing paths within complex gearbox and drivetrain assemblies
• Collaboration with gearbox and mechanical subsystems engineers to route cabling through high-vibration, high-temperature, or constrained environments
• Perform interface definition for brackets, clamps, grommets and shielding solution
• Ensure design approach considers EMC/EMI, environmental sealing, and survivability under shock, vibration and other applicable environmental loads
• Produce engineering drawings, harness manufacturing packs, and installation instructions

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a similar field
• Knowledge of defence platforms, heavy vehicles, or industrial machinery
• Experience in vehicles (APCs, IFVs, artillery systems, turrets)
• Understanding of EMI/EMC design principles, grounding, shielding, and cable protection
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills.
• Familiarity with gearbox or drivetrain integration
• Proficiency with 3D CAD for routing (Solid Edge electrical, NX electrical routing etc)
• 5 -7+ year sor experience in electrical routing, cable harness design, or power/signal distribution design
• Ability to work under defence programme constraints and documentation rigor
