You'll work across concepts, prototyping, lab and vehicle validation, and production launch—partnering with mechanical, calibration, and motorsports teams to deliver reliable, track-proven performance. What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities) Harness Engineering Design low- and high-current 12V/48V wiring harnesses and power distribution for performance applications (engine swaps, crate engines, upgraded fuel/ignition systems, add-on modules). Create schematics, pinouts, and drawings; select connectors/terminals (e.g., Deutsch, TE/Delphi, Molex), wire spec, shielding, protection, and grommets. Define harness routing, bundling, sleeving, labels, and heat/abrasion protection suitable for under-hood and motorsport environments. Author and build documentation, BOMs, and support work instructions and QC criteria for internal or contract manufacturing. Modules & Electronics Architect and develop aftermarket control modules (e.g., add-on ECUs, I/O expanders, signal conditioners, power control, sensor interfaces). Perform PCB bring-up, bench testing, and basic firmware integration (C/C++ preferred) for diagnostics and I/O control. Implement vehicle network communications. Support ECU calibration workflows (signals/IO, logging, flashing) in partnership with powertrain calibration. Validation & Compliance Build and execute DVP&R plans (bench, HIL/sim, vehicle, dyno/track); capture test data and publish reports. Conduct EMI/EMC pre-compliance checks and collaborate with labs for formal testing; drive design-for-EMC improvements. Perform environmental & durability validation (thermal, vibration, ingress, load-dump/transients). Complete DFMEA for harnesses/modules and implement design controls for reliability and safety. Ensure compatibility with OEM systems (body, powertrain, and safety where applicable) without adverse interactions. Diagnostics & Tools Develop and maintain diagnostic strategies, pinout guides, and service procedures for installers and customers. Build test fixtures, breakout boxes, and automated test scripts for verification and end-of-line testing. Provide technical support to tech line, field engineers, and key customers; assist with installation guides and training materials. Cross-Functional & Supplier Engagement Collaborate with purchasing, suppliers, and CM partners on DFM/DFx, PPAP/FAI (as applicable), and cost/quality tradeoffs. Manage change control (CNs), maintain revision control, and support production issue resolution.
