Experience: 5+ years
We're 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. You'll 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
