About the role

  • Based in Zurich, act as the primary technical authority for all Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) activities across rotorcraft and fixed‑wing projects
  • Define and manage EWIS requirements – create, maintain, and trace requirement documents throughout the product lifecycle
  • Architectural design – develop and continuously improve system‑level EWIS designs, schematics, and wiring diagrams
  • Prototype development – design, build, and test rapid prototypes, ensuring attention to detail and manufacturability
  • Certification & documentation – support all certification‑related documentation (DOA/DO‑A, AC 25.1701‑1, AMC 20‑23, ARP4754, etc.)
  • Specify and validate high‑voltage DC power distribution (≥ 1000 V, 300 A), addressing segregation, partial discharge, corona, arc‑fault detection, and health‑monitoring challenges
  • Harness design & optimization – design aerospace wiring harnesses, select connectors, manage BOMs, and oversee build sequences, fatigue analysis, and movement control in static and kinematic environments
  • Cross‑disciplinary collaboration – consult with avionics, mechanical, battery, motor‑drive, and manufacturing engineers to integrate EWIS into overall aircraft architectures
  • Combine hands‑on prototype development with system‑level design and certification to deliver flight‑ready hardware

Requirements

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field OR at least 15+ years of aerospace‑industry experience focused on electrical harness design and routing
  • EWIS programs, deep knowledge of electrical systems, grounding/bonding, and interior systems
  • Strong CAD skills; basic knowledge of PDM/PLM environments, BOM creation, and manufacturing drawing specifications
  • Solid understanding of airworthiness requirements and authorities
  • Familiarity with AC43.13‑1B, ATA 20/100, S1000D, AC 25.1701‑1, AMC 20‑23, ARP4754, and aerospace electrical specifications
  • Hands‑on experience with DC distribution > 1000 V/300 A and HV‑DC challenges (segregation, partial discharge, corona, arc‑fault detection, health monitoring)
  • Working experience with lithium‑battery systems, motor drives, and high‑power electronics
  • Target‑oriented, strong problem‑solving abilities, comfortable in a fast‑paced start‑up environment
  • Fluent English required; German or additional language proficiency is a plus
  • Only candidates eligible to work in the EU/Switzerland will be considered
  • Visa sponsorship: None

Benefits
