The Role

As a Senior Test Integration Engineer you will own electrical interconnect systems across our UAV platforms. This is a highly hands-on role focused on designing building and validating harnesses that operate in demanding environments. Youll work across electrical mechanical and test teams to deliver reliable lightweight and production-ready harness solutions while also contributing to test infrastructure like fixtures and system test racks. This role requires speed autonomy and a strong bias toward execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Harness Design & Ownership

  Own end-to-end design of UAV wiring harnesses: concept prototype production.

  Design for power high-speed signals RF and mixed-signal systems under tight size weight and power constraints.

  Rapidly iterate on harness layouts routing and packaging with mechanical and electrical teams.

  Select connectors shielding strategies wire types and protection schemes for harsh

  environments (vibration temperature EMI).

  Drive design decisions with a focus on reliability manufacturability and field serviceability.

• Build Integration & Validation

  Build and prototype harnesses hands-on; not just design them.

  Lead bring-up and integration of harnesses into full vehicle systems.

  Define and execute validation: continuity insulation resistance shielding effectiveness and system-level functional checks.

  Identify and fix issues quickly during integration and flight test cycles.

• Test Infrastructure

  Design and build harness test fixtures breakout boxes and system test racks.

  Enable fast debugging with smart access points instrumentation hooks and modular test setups.

  Partner with test engineering to improve coverage speed and repeatability of validation workflows.

• Production & Scaling

  Work directly with technicians and vendors to transition harnesses from prototype to production.

  Define build processes QA checks and acceptance criteria.

  Troubleshoot production issues (opens/shorts intermittent faults connector failures shielding gaps).

  Continuously improve harness designs based on production and field feedback.

• Failure Analysis & Debugging

  Own root-cause analysis of electrical interconnect failures in lab production and field.

  Use oscilloscopes DMMs hipot testers and other tools to diagnose complex issues.

  Drive corrective actions quickly and prevent recurrence.

• Documentation

  Create and maintain harness drawings pinouts and build docs.

  Keep documentation lightweight accurate and usable by technicians.

  Maintain revision control without slowing down development speed.

Required Qualifications

• 5 years of hands-on experience designing and building wiring harnesses or electrical interconnect systems

• Deep understanding of connectors shielding grounding and cable design for real-world environments.

• Strong ability to read and create schematics wiring diagrams and harness documentation.

• Proven experience taking hardware from prototype through production.

• Comfortable working with standard electrical test equipment (DMMs oscilloscopes continuity/hipot testers).

• Demonstrated ability to move fast iterate quickly and solve problems with minimal direction

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with UAVs aerospace systems robotics or other high-performance hardware.

• Familiarity with EMI/EMC best practices and high-reliability design.

• Experience with harness CAD tools (SolidWorks Electrical CATIA Zuken Altium etc.).

• Background in designing or supporting test fixtures breakout systems or test racks.

• Hands-on experience working with contract manufacturers or in-house production teams
