About the role

  • Responsible for the end-to-end design, routing, integration, and verification of spacecraft harnessing systems enabling connectivity across power, avionics, RF, and payload subsystems
  • Use CAD tools extensively to define harness construction, model routing paths, optimize integration with spacecraft structures, and ensure robust electrical connectivity for spacecraft fleet
  • Develop and maintain harnessing standards and best practices, ensuring alignment with program and production needs
  • Own the design and development of spacecraft harnessing, from concept to flight, collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams
  • Design harness routing in CAD with a focus on assemblability and integration
  • Perform harness and connector analyses, including sizing, shielding, and derating, to ensure robust operation in space environments
  • Produce wiring diagrams, harness assembly drawings, and bills of material
  • Apply DFM/DFA principles to optimize harnesses for manufacturing, and provide support during production and integration as needed

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • 3+ years of experience in harnessing design (aerospace, automotive, robotics, or other high-vibration environments preferred)
  • Strong proficiency with CAD tools for electrical/mechanical routing, harness modeling and assembly drawings (e.g., Onshape, Solidworks, Altium Designer or equivalent)
  • Knowledge of wires, shielding, and harness assembly standards (e.g. IPC/WHMA-A-620)
  • Hands-on experience with harness assembly, routing, and integration in a lab or production environment
  • Proven ability to deliver robust designs under tight development schedules
  • Supplier management and harness procurement experience (bonus)
  • Familiarity with scalable production techniques for harness manufacturing (bonus)
  • Knowledge of space effects and mitigation in wiring/connectors for LEO operations (bonus)
  • Experience performing vibration analysis and test correlation for harnessing and related structures (bonus)
  • Familiarity with RF and/or optical cables and their routing requirements (bonus)
  • Exposure to PDM / PLM tools for bill of material management and configuration control (bonus)

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with a robust equity plan to share in our success.
  • Comprehensive coverage for health, dental, and vision insurance—including dependents.
  • Unlimited vacation, supportive parental leave policy, and company-wide holiday shutdown.
  • Semi-annual company-wide parties and frequent in-office team events.
  • Relocation packages available for approved roles.
  • $1,500 annual professional development fund to support your growth.
  • Fully stocked Toronto office kitchen with snacks, drinks, games and top-notch kitchen appliances.
  • Town Halls, Celebration Calls, and Company-wide events to stay connected and engaged.
  • We’re a certified Great Place to Work®, five years in a row!
