Senior Wire Harness Design Engineer (EWIS)

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.

Responsibilities & Requirements Develop and maintain EWIS architectures, schematics, and harness assembly drawings in Zuken E3 with a strong emphasis on design intent, configuration control, and manufacturability. Lead complex 3D harness routing and packaging trade studies using NX (or equivalent), balancing integration constraints, serviceability, and production repeatability. Independently size wiring, shields, and protection devices considering continuous/transient loads, voltage drop, derating, thermal environment, and fault conditions. Identify and mitigate EMI/EMC risk through grounding/bonding strategy, routing/separation, shielding, and termination choices aligned to system architecture. Review and approve EWIS designs produced by Level 1 engineers; mentor and raise documentation and design quality across the team. Serve as a primary EWIS interface to manufacturing and external suppliers; drive build readiness, incorporate DFM feedback, and mitigate schedule/technical risk. Plan and review EWIS verification & validation activities; lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions for complex wiring, EMI, and integration issues. Interpret and enforce IPC/WHMA, ABYC, ABS, and applicable MIL standards within projects, ensuring consistent application across designs and releases.

Qualifications & Skills Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field. 5–12+ years of EWIS, harness engineering, or electrical integration experience with demonstrated ownership. Proficiency with Zuken E3 (or equivalent) and 3D harness routing/integration tools (e.g., NX or equivalent). Deep expertise in EWIS integration and production support, including independent wire/shield/protection sizing and robust grounding/bonding/shielding strategies. Strong ability to interpret and produce complex technical documentation (schematics, BOMs, harness/installation drawings) and ensure design intent carries through to installation. Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical execution, improve workflows/documentation quality, and mentor engineers.

Physical Requirements Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer. Occasional standing and walking within the office. Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment. Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports. Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies. Lifting and carrying items up to 20 pounds occasionally (e.g., office supplies, packages).
