Electrical engineer harness

We are searching for a hands‑on Wire Harness Engineer to act as the main technical bridge between our design and production departments. Based at our West Virginia facility, you will ensure that harness designs transition smoothly into the manufacturing phase while championing Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) best practices.

This position goes beyond standard design work. We are looking for someone who thrives on the production floor, enjoys partnering with technicians and engineers to tackle manufacturing hurdles, and is committed to enhancing product buildability. You will collaborate across departments—including electrical engineering, operations, and manufacturing—to ensure that harness designs are validated, built, and released with maximum efficiency.
