-
Develop and maintain 3D wire harness routing within system-level assemblies.
-
Create 2D harness drawings, flatten layouts, and manufacturing documentation.
-
Define connector selection, backshells, strain reliefs, and mounting features.
-
Collaborate with EE to translate schematics into physical harness designs.
-
Ensure proper bend radius, shielding, separation, and routing best practices in line with EWIS/USCAR standards.
-
Support BOM creation and part selection for harness and connector components.
-
Coordinate with suppliers and contract manufacturers for DFM feedback.
-
Update models and drawings based on prototype learnings and MFG feedback.
