About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as a technical leader responsible for the design, integration, and production readiness of all internal harnessing and packaging within the TeraWave flight product.
Apply expertise to mature designs, ensuring they are robust for the space environment and optimized for efficient, large-scale, automated manufacturing.
Proactively embed DFM/DFA principles into all design cycles for internal harnesses, enclosures, PCB/PCBA’s, and electronic assemblies.
Own and lead the technical effort to transition complex product-internal harnessing and packaging designs from low-rate initial builds to a high-rate production environment.
Collaborate with manufacturing engineers and suppliers to develop and validate production processes, tooling, and test procedures to achieve required production rates and quality.
Design and release detailed 3D models and 2D drawings for internal wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and electronics enclosures using Altium, Creo, SolidWorks, and Windchill.
Oversee and contribute to structural, thermal, and vibration analysis of electronic packaging and develop verification and validation test campaigns (qualification, acceptance, etc.).
Mentor junior engineers, sharing best practices in design for manufacturing, product internal harness design, and product maturation.
