Draw harness detail and installation drawings including 2D flat harness drawings from the 3D harness data sets
Design and integrate harness support brackets
Support design configuration development and trade studies
Provide technical guidance for hardware installation
Support assembly and testing of cables and harnesses
Report on activity schedule and technical status
Identify opportunities for technical improvements
Qualifications
B.S. degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, or an appropriate engineering field
