Senior/Staff Electrical Wire Harness Engineer

I design flight-critical wire harnesses — and build the tools that make it faster.

Mechanical Engineer with 16+ years leading wire harness design for Boeing, Bombardier, Honda and eVTOL programs. From ICD and wire sizing to 3D routing, drawings, work instructions and ATP — concept through released production data.

About

Engineer first. Toolmaker by necessity.

I've spent my career on every side of the harness — designing it in CAD, building it with my own hands, writing the work instructions to install it, and testing it on the aircraft before handoff to flight test.

Today I design flight-critical harnesses for an eVTOL aircraft to AS50881, AC 43.13-1B Ch. 11 and ASTM F2639. Along the way I kept hitting the same slow, manual checks — so I started building software tools to automate them: auditing ICDs against wiring diagrams, comparing drawing revisions, sizing wire bundles and generating test plans.

I'm looking for a role where deep EWIS expertise and a builder's mindset both count.
