Wiring and Harness Engineer

Passionate about making ideas a reality? Join our welcoming world of tech and let your ideas soar.

Your role

We have many exciting projects in the pipeline and now need to strengthen our Design Group for the innovative Giraffe 1X radar system. The group that you will be part of works with the entire system from a holistic perspective, where we drive basic development together with customized, customer-specific solutions. Product development takes place in a broad and cross-functional collaboration between the team's internal power and mechanical resources as well as external groups such as systems, planning and purchasing.

We are now looking for a Cabling and Harness Engineer who, with his expertise in cabling and routing, can contribute to the development of future products and ensure high quality in our systems.

You will be involved in the entire development process – from early studies and concept builds to the finished product. Your main focus will be to engineer and design cabling that is optimized for both function and reliability. This involves working with both internally produced cabling and specifications for purchases from external manufacturers.

In addition to the design itself, you will act as a critical support in the design work by drawing and placing the cabling in the systems. This ensures that spaces are optimized and that the installation is practically feasible from a DFA and DFM perspective.

You will be part of a broad team where collaboration with our power and mechanical designers is central to achieving our goals. We expect you to not only perform your tasks, but also actively contribute with input to improve our processes and build up the internal knowledge about cabling within the Giraffe 1X organisation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design cabling and harness solutions with a focus on functionality, durability and ease of assembly.

• Responsibility for supporting documentation for both internal production and procurement from external suppliers.

• Support the design work by drawing and defining the placement of cables in the systems to ensure optimal integration.

• Actively drive and propose improvements in our work processes and working methods.

• Develop and maintain the internal knowledge base regarding cable routing.

Your profile

For this role, we are primarily looking for someone with a university degree (at least 3 years) in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, product development or a similar field. 2–5 years of relevant professional experience in the design of wiring and harnesses.

Good experience working in a 3D environment: Creo or equivalent to define routing and placement. A good understanding of manufacturing techniques for wiring and its structure as well as an ability to communicate technical requirements to suppliers.

We are looking for someone who is communicative and confident in taking on a large amount of personal responsibility. You are a person who is proactive and driven by moving the work forward on your own, while at the same time you value and contribute to the team's shared success and development. Good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written, is a prerequisite for success in the role.

This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around/of security protection. For positions requiring security clearance additional obligations on citizenship may apply.
