Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The Harness Engineer will own the design, routing, and build of satellite harnesses while collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams. They will also coordinate with contract manufacturers and support hardware troubleshooting and testing activities.
Candidates must hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering and possess at least 2 years of experience in electrical harness design. Proficiency in reading PCBA schematics, technical drawings, and using harness test equipment is required.
Xona is the navigational intelligence company bringing real-time, centimeter-level certainty to any device, anywhere on Earth.
With Pulsar – the world’s most advanced PNT satellite infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit – Xona will offer a future-proof, backwards-compatible global positioning system optimized for absolute precision, superior power, and robust protection.
We are looking for a Harness Engineer to design and build the satellite’s harnesses and cables. This is a hands-on, cross-disciplinary role where you will work closely with experienced engineers across avionics, mechanical, GNC, and manufacturing teams. It is a unique opportunity to build a critical subsystem of a cutting-edge space technology platform.
Own the design, cable routing, and build of the satellite’s harnesses
Closely work with electrical, mechanical, and other satellite design engineers to create harness drawings
Understanding of industry-standard electrical design principles and standards (IPC, MIL-STD, SMC)
Determine processes and select components to ensure a reliable and manufacturable solution that will survive the life of the mission
Coordinate harness builds with contract manufacturers, taking into account the program build schedule and design requirements
Track, design, and build test harnesses to support various test set ups (DVT, environmental, subsystem debug, etc)
Interpret PCBA schematics, technical drawings, test plans, and work instructions
Develop, maintain, and follow work instructions, connector mate logs, and test logs
Support hardware troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and corrective actions
BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
2+ years experience in electrical harness design
Ability to read and interpret PCBA schematics, technical drawings, test plans, and procedures
Experience using harness test equipment such as multimeters and Hipot testers as well as building test fixtures (test boards, peg boards, etc.)
Familiarity with Windows-based PC operating systems
Ability to clearly communicate verbally and in writing in English
Experience designing, handling, and integrating spaceflight hardware
Exposure to spacecraft environmental testing (vibration, thermal vacuum, thermal cycling)
Experience working in cleanroom environments
Familiarity with aerospace documentation standards and configuration control
