Lead - Electrical Integration

Job Purpose:

Lead and own electrical integration and harness engineering for advanced rocket, launch-vehicle and ground systems. This role offers end-to-end technical ownership—from interface definition and harness design to vehicle integration, qualification, EMI/EMC compliance, troubleshooting and final acceptance—while leading cross-functional engineering and technician teams.

Principal Responsibilities:

Electrical harness architecture, design, routing and integration for rocket, avionics and ground systems.Selection and review of aerospace/defence-grade wires, cables, connectors, backshells, terminations, shielding, grounding, bonding and strain relief.Preparation and review of wiring diagrams, harness drawings, cable schedules, wire lists, pin-to-pin lists, ICDs and interface matrices.EMI/EMC design, MIL-STD-461 testing, shielding/grounding strategies and resolution of conducted/radiated interference issues.ESS, AT, QT and environmental qualification activities including vibration, shock, temperature and thermal-vacuum testing.Electrical fault isolation, failure investigations, root-cause analysis and corrective actions during integration and test campaigns.Vehicle electrical integration, ground-system interfaces, checkout and launch-site/pre-launch readiness activities.Configuration control for drawings, BOMs, harness databases, test records, NCRs, deviations/waivers and as-built documentation.Cross-functional coordination with Systems, Avionics, GNC, RF, Mechanical, Manufacturing, Quality, Reliability, Safety and Test teams.Mentoring and technical leadership for engineers, technicians and assembly teams; representation in PDR, CDR, TRR, QR and FRR reviews.

Standards & Compliance

Working knowledge of aerospace/defence standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, MIL-STD-1540, SAE AS50881, SAE AS22759, MIL-DTL-38999 and IPC/WHMA-A-620.Exposure to NASA, ECSS, customer-specific or Indian Defense requirements is an advantage.

Tools

Experience with Siemens Capital Harness, Zuken E3. series, CATIA Electrical, Siemens NX Electrical Routing, Arcadia or equivalent tools.Cadence OrCAD experience for wiring drawings is mandatory.Automated harness test system exposure is a plus.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

8–15+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, rocket/missile, aircraft, spacecraft or other high-reliability electrical systems.Proven capability in electrical integration, harness engineering, EMI/EMC testing, environmental qualification and technical leadership.Strong problem-solving, communication, documentation and cross-functional coordination skills.Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Avionics, Aerospace, Instrumentation or a related engineering discipline.
