Wiring Harness Designer \u007C Harness Team

Job Description

Job Description

At BETA Technologies, we apply our intellectual curiosity, passion for aviation, and commitment to sustainability toward a shared mission of revolutionizing electric aviation. Regardless of the position one holds, each team member brings their talent and desire to positively impact the environment and lives of others in a refreshing, vibrant, and inclusive culture.

BETA is seeking a Wiring Harness Designer to own 2D harness schematics in Engineering Base for production aircraft, ground support equipment, and test tools. You will translate interface requirements into complete, manufacturing-ready wiring designs and collaborate with 3D Design Engineers who use 3DX / CATIA to route harnesses through the aircraft. The role is primarily 2D; prior experience with Engineering Base is helpful but not required—we will train a highly detail‑oriented candidate. There is meaningful opportunity to use Python, SQL / SQLite, and Git to automate sizing, checks, and data handoffs to manufacturing.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation :

• Gather and interpret interface and configuration requirements from system teams and flight / production stakeholders.
• Create complete 2D wiring schematics in Engineering Base, including wire IDs, pin / terminal assignments, shielding / grounding, and splice logic.
• Select components (wire / cable, connectors / contacts, backshells, protection, labels / markers) that meet environmental, electrical, and maintainability needs.
• Perform wire sizing, bundle calculations, voltage drop, and derating calculations per BETA standards and applicable EWIS guidance (e.g. SAE AS50881).
• Collaborate with 3D Design Engineers in 3DX / CATIA to support routing, packaging, strain relief, bend radius, clamp spacing, and chafe protection.
• Produce manufacturing-ready Technical Data Packages : schematics, run lists / netlists, termination tables, BOMs with alternates, assembly drawings, labels, and test requirements.
• Drive designs through release in 3DX / PLM, maintain configuration control, and support changes.
• Partner with the Harness Build Team and Production to incorporate DFM / DFS feedback, reduce cost / weight, improve build time, and enhance serviceability.
• Support harness build, bench test (e.g., continuity / hipot), and on‑aircraft installation; resolve issues and update designs promptly.
• Use and extend internal automation (Python, SQL / SQLite, Git) for wire sizing, design rule checks, data validation, and automated generation of manufacturing packages; contribute to internal web tools and databases.
