## 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 Engineer 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.

Minimum Qualifications:

- 0–3+ years in wiring harness or closely related electrical/mechanical design; we will train strong, detail‑oriented candidates.
- Working knowledge of electrical fundamentals and wiring basics; ability to read/create 2D wiring diagrams.
- Familiarity with harness manufacturability and common build practices; willingness to collaborate on the shop floor.
- Ability to perform basic sizing and verification (ampacity, voltage drop, temperature/altitude derating) with guidance.
- Comfort working with structured data and version control (spreadsheets/databases and Git).
- Clear, consistent documentation habits and strong attention to detail.
- Exposure to Engineering Base or similar tools (E3.series, Capital, SolidWorks Electrical) and to PLM systems preferred, but not required.

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

- Hands-on harness design for aerospace, automotive, rail, or industrial equipment.
- Experience with Engineering Base and 3DX/CATIA; familiarity with releasing parts/drawings in PLM.
- Knowledge of aerospace harness components and standards (can be learned): AS22759/AS81044 wire, MIL‑DTL‑38999 and micro‑D connectors, AS39029 contacts, backshells/strain relief, heat‑shrink, braid, clamps/lacing; awareness of SAE AS50881/EWIS and IPC/WHMA‑A‑620.
- Experience generating or executing harness test requirements and using harness testers (e.g., Cirris, DIT‑MCO).
- Python scripting and SQL/SQLite for automation; familiarity with internal web apps and Microsoft stack (e.g., SharePoint/Power BI/PowerApps) is a plus.
- Experience integrating data with internal services or S3‑style object storage.

Physical Demands and Work Environment:

- Primary location: South Burlington, Vermont production facility. Montreal, QC may be possible with periodic travel to Vermont.
- Frequent collaboration in the harness shop and on the production floor; occasional work inside aircraft.
- Ability to inspect harnesses in aircraft production environments preferred

The wage listed here reflects our best faith estimate for this role. We pay competitively and base compensation on a variety of factors including skills, experience, industry background, and the evolving needs of the role. We remain committed to fair and equitable pay and we're happy to discuss during the interview process.
