Job Summary
At BETA Technologies we apply our intellectual curiosity passion for aviation and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing vibrant and inclusive culture.
BETA is seeking a Wiring Harness Designer to own 2D harness schematics in Engineering Base for production aircraft ground support equipment and test tools. You will translate interface requirements into complete manufacturing-ready wiring designs and collaborate with 3D Design Engineers who use 3DX/CATIA to route harnesses through the aircraft. The role is primarily 2D; prior experience with Engineering Base is helpful but not requiredwe will train a highly detailoriented candidate. There is meaningful opportunity to use Python SQL/SQLite and Git to automate sizing checks and data handoffs to manufacturing.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:
- Gather and interpret interface and configuration requirements from system teams and flight/production stakeholders.
- Create complete 2D wiring schematics in Engineering Base including wire IDs pin/terminal assignments shielding/grounding and splice logic.
- Select components (wire/cable connectors/contacts backshells protection labels/markers) that meet environmental electrical and maintainability needs.
- Perform wire sizing bundle calculations voltage drop and derating calculations per BETA standards and applicable EWIS guidance (e.g. SAE AS50881).
- Collaborate with 3D Design Engineers in 3DX/CATIA to support routing packaging strain relief bend radius clamp spacing and chafe protection.
- Produce manufacturing-ready Technical Data Packages: schematics run lists/netlists termination tables BOMs with alternates assembly drawings labels and test requirements.
- Drive designs through release in 3DX/PLM maintain configuration control and support changes.
- Partner with the Harness Build Team and Production to incorporate DFM/DFS feedback reduce cost/weight improve build time and enhance serviceability.
- Support harness build bench test (e.g. continuity/hipot) and onaircraft installation; resolve issues and update designs promptly.
- Use and extend internal automation (Python SQL/SQLite Git) for wire sizing design rule checks data validation and automated generation of manufacturing packages; contribute to internal web tools and databases.
Minimum Qualifications:
- 03 years in wiring harness or closely related electrical/mechanical design; we will train strong detailoriented candidates.
- Working knowledge of electrical fundamentals and wiring basics; ability to read/create 2D wiring diagrams.
- Familiarity with harness manufacturability and common build practices; willingness to collaborate on the shop floor.
- Ability to perform basic sizing and verification (ampacity voltage drop temperature/altitude derating) with guidance.
- Comfort working with structured data and version control (spreadsheets/databases and Git).
- Clear consistent documentation habits and strong attention to detail.
- Exposure to Engineering Base or similar tools (E3 series Capital SolidWorks Electrical) and to PLM systems preferred but not required.
Above and Beyond Qualifications:
- Hands-on harness design for aerospace automotive rail or industrial equipment.
- Experience with Engineering Base and 3DX/CATIA; familiarity with releasing parts/drawings in PLM.
- Knowledge of aerospace harness components and standards (can be learned): AS22759/AS81044 wire MILDTL38999 and microD connectors AS39029 contacts backshells/strain relief heatshrink braid clamps/lacing; awareness of SAE AS50881/EWIS and IPC/WHMAA620.
- Experience generating or executing harness test requirements and using harness testers (e.g. Cirris DITMCO).
- Python scripting and SQL/SQLite for automation; familiarity with internal web apps and Microsoft stack (e.g. SharePoint/Power BI/PowerApps) is a plus.
- Experience integrating data with internal services or S3style object storage.
Physical Demands and Work Environment:
- Primary location: South Burlington Vermont production facility. Montreal QC may be possible with periodic travel to Vermont.
- Frequent collaboration in the harness shop and on the production floor; occasional work inside aircraft.
- Ability to inspect harnesses in aircraft production environments preferred
$90000 - $110000 a year
