About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Design, develop, and release spacecraft wire harness assemblies for bus, payload, and integration applications across the TeraWave satellite constellation
- Develop Bundle Interconnect Diagrams and Wire Interconnect Diagrams with subsystem owners
- Produce harness assembly, installation, and connector pin assignment drawings
- Create and maintain 3D harness routing models, performing interference checks, bend-radius verification, and mass/length estimation
- Select connectors, backshells, contacts, and interconnect hardware for the space environment
- Define connector keying, clocking, pin assignments, and shielding termination methods
- Perform voltage-drop, wire-derating, current-capacity, weight, and thermal-dissipation analyses
- Support EMI/EMC harness segregation planning
- Coordinate harness fabrication, make/buy decisions, build instructions, and production issue resolution
- Develop harness acceptance-test procedures
- Support vehicle integration and test, troubleshooting anomalies, redlines, and connector mate/demate operations
- Design harnesses for manufacturability, production rate, standardization, and assembly-time optimization at constellation scale
Requirements
