Design and develop electrical wiring interconnection systems for advanced aerospace platforms, ensuring reliable integration, regulatory compliance, and high-performance electrical architectures.
Design and develop Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS), including wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and connector systems
Perform wire gauge calculations, voltage drop analysis, and current carrying capacity assessments
Select suitable wiring materials, connectors, terminals, and protective components based on environmental and operational requirements
Develop grounding and bonding concepts to ensure electrical safety and EMC compliance
Create detailed harness assembly drawings, wire lists, manufacturing documentation, and interconnect diagrams (ICDs)
Develop installation procedures and tooling requirements for harness assembly and aircraft integration
Ensure proper wire support, strain relief, and protection against vibration, chafing, and environmental influences
Coordinate wire routing through aircraft structures while maintaining bend radius requirements and installation clearances
Support prototype builds and production installations with hands-on technical guidance
Develop and execute EWIS test plans including continuity, insulation resistance, and functional testing activities
Perform quality inspections, acceptance testing, fault isolation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems
Ensure compliance with aerospace regulations and standards including DO-160, SAE AS50881, MIL-DTL-38999, and FAA requirements
Maintain technical documentation including wiring diagrams, installation manuals, parts lists, work instructions, and maintenance documentation
Collaborate closely with manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams to improve producibility and optimize assembly processes
Support continuous improvement initiatives across design and production environments
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree is considered a plus
Minimum 3–5 years of experience in EWIS design, wire harness development, or aerospace electrical systems
Experience with aircraft wiring systems, UAV electrical integration, aerospace manufacturing environments, or Ground Control Systems (GCS) is preferred
Hands-on experience with wire harness assembly, installation, and testing activities
Strong understanding of electrical wiring principles, wire sizing methodologies, and circuit protection concepts
Proficiency with electrical CAD tools for harness development such as Capital Harness, CATIA Electrical Workbench, or similar platforms
Experience with connector systems, termination methods, and electrical installation techniques
Strong understanding of EMC/EMI principles and wire segregation requirements
Familiarity with electrical testing equipment including multimeters, continuity testers, and hipot testing systems
Knowledge of wire protection methods such as braiding, conduits, heat shrink solutions, and cable management techniques
Experience with composite aircraft structures and associated EWIS installation challenges
Knowledge of aerospace quality standards including AS9100, ISO 9001, and aerospace regulatory frameworks
Understanding of lightning protection and High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) requirements is considered an advantage
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and work effectively across multidisciplinary teams
Good English language skills (written and spoken); German is desirable
Eligibility to work in Switzerland (Swiss or EU citizenship required)
