Project Engineer / Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities Electrical Engineering Support • Review and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and cable/harness drawings. • Support connector, terminal, and wire selection based on electrical and mechanical requirements. • Assist with circuit continuity, wire gauge/current-carrying capacity, and grounding/shielding considerations. • Support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) reviews for harness and box build assemblies. • Create and maintain assembly work instructions, wiring diagrams, and engineering drawings. • Support root-cause analysis and corrective action for electrical/technical production issues. Project Support • Support customer projects from quotation through prototype, NPI, and production launch, under the direction of the Engineering Lead. • Help develop and maintain project schedules, task lists, and status trackers. • Track deliverables, open action items, and milestone dates; flag risks and delays proactively. • Coordinate with engineering, production, quality, and procurement to keep projects moving. • Prepare status updates and materials for internal and customer project reviews. • Support processing of engineering change requests (ECO/ECN), including documentation and implementation tracking. Manufacturing & Quality Support • Support process development and improvement for harness manufacturing and box build assembly. • Assist with first-article inspections, testing, and validation of new builds. • Support PFMEA, risk assessments, and process validation activities. • Help identify and implement continuous improvement, Lean, and quality initiatives on the production floor. • Support IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards during builds and inspections. Customer & Supplier Coordination • Participate in customer and supplier meetings, design reviews, and technical discussions as needed. • Assist with component and supplier technical evaluations under the guidance of the Engineering Lead. • Support documentation for customer audits and regulatory/compliance requirements. Required Qualifications • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline. • 2–5 years of experience in an electrical engineering role, ideally involving wire harness, cable assembly, box build, or electro-mechanical products. • Working knowledge of electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and basic circuit principles. • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications. • Strong organizational skills with the ability to track multiple tasks and deadlines. • Effective written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional and customer-facing interaction. Preferred Qualifications • Experience supporting NPI (New Product Introduction) or prototype-to-production transitions. • Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 wire harness workmanship standards is a plus. • Exposure to project management tools or methodologies (e.g., MS Project, Agile, PMP fundamentals). • Familiarity with CAD or E3 software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar). • Exposure to Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement practices.
