Engineer - Repair Development​/Wire Harness - Clovis, CA

About the Role

Niacc-Avitech Technologies, an FAA Part 145 repair facility specializing in aircraft component repair and overhaul, is seeking an Engineer - Repair Development / Wire Harness to bridge our technical and operational teams.

This is a unique dual-focus position combining technical engineering development (60%) with hands‑on shop floor work (40%). You'll develop repair solutions for aircraft wiring harnesses and electrical components while working directly with technicians to implement and validate your designs.

If you're an engineer who thrives solving real-world technical problems-and enjoys getting your hands dirty alongside the people who execute your work-this role is for you.

• Research technical requirements from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, manuals, specifications, and regulatory standards
• Analyze complex technical data and synthesize it into clear, actionable work instructions for repair technicians
• Interpret wiring schematics, electrical diagrams, and engineering specifications; identify repair or manufacturing solutions
• Develop, test, and refine repair procedures, technical documentation, and engineering drawings
• Create technical documentation and drawings that translate your repair solutions into shop floor reality
• Investigate technical challenges with Production, Quality, and other departments; recommend process improvements

• Troubleshoot, fabricate, repair, and test aircraft wiring harnesses and electrical components
• Apply wire harness design and manufacturing principles to develop practical, implementable repair solutions
• Validate new repair processes and work instructions directly with technicians on the shop floor
• Manage multiple engineering projects and priorities while meeting deadlines

The Opportunity:

Work on systems that directly impact aerospace safety and performance. You'll see your repairs implemented by skilled technicians and understand the real-world impact of your engineering work-not just theoretical outcomes.

The Environment:
We value engineers who are curious and hands-on. You won't be siloed in an office; you'll collaborate directly with technicians, quality professionals, and production teams to solve problems together.

The Organization:
As part of HEICO Corporation, you'll benefit from the resources and stability of a major aerospace leader while maintaining the agility and focus of a specialized repair facility.

The Role:

This position offers genuine technical variety. You'll spend your time designing solutions, troubleshooting systems, and learning the practical constraints that separate good engineering from great engineering.

• Ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment

• Aerospace, aviation component repair, or aircraft manufacturing experience
• Familiarity with FAA Part 145 repair facility operations and regulatory requirements
• Experience with MIL-SPEC or aerospace-grade wiring and electrical standards
• Prior hands-on experience with aircraft systems or components

• Strong problem-solving orientation, with the ability to identify root causes and develop effective, practical solutions
• Demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities and operational conditions
• Receptive to new ideas and approaches, while also contributing original solutions and process improvements
• Self-motivated and results-driven, with a strong commitment to achieving objectives
• Disciplined, task-oriented approach to completing assignments and following established procedures accurately and consistently
• Positive, professional attitude that contributes to effective teamwork
• Comfortable taking on new and multiple challenges with confidence
