Were looking for a Senior Test Integration Engineer to 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

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

Full harness design including 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

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

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

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

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
