Electrical Technician [Propulsion]
- Build, route, and terminate low- and high-voltage (14 V DC to 800 V DC) wiring harnesses, connectors, and cable assemblies for propulsion, avionics, and flight-control systems.
- Fabricate and populate PCBs, breakout boxes, and test fixtures; perform rework and component replacement to IPC-610/620 standards.
- Install, calibrate, and maintain sensors (current, voltage, temperature, pressure, vibration) and data-acquisition hardware on propulsion test stands and prototype aircraft.
- Execute continuity, insulation-resistance, and hipot tests; diagnose faults with oscilloscopes, multimeters, CAN bus analyzers, and high-voltage safety equipment.
- Collaborate with power-electronics, motor-control, and avionics engineers to integrate inverters, converters, and PMSM motor drives into propulsion testbeds.
- Document build procedures, wiring diagrams, and inspection results.
- Support environmental, vibration, and EMI/EMC test campaigns; assist with rapid troubleshooting during ground and flight testing.
- Champion a culture of safety by enforcing lock-out/tag-out, HV PPE, and hazardous-energy control procedures in the lab and hangar.
- Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Avionics, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 3+ years of experience assembling and troubleshooting aerospace, automotive, or industrial electrical systems at voltages above 300 V DC.
- Proficiency in reading electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings (KiCad, Altium, or similar).
- Demonstrated skill in crimping, soldering, harness over-braiding, heat-shrink moulded parts, and connector back-shell termination.
- Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620, NASA-STD-8739, or comparable workmanship standards.

- Strong organizational skills and the ability to execute tasks independently while meeting tight deadlines.
- Experience with eVTOL or aerospace powertrain development, including DO-160G environmental and EMI/EMC test procedures.
- Hands-on exposure to inverters, gate-driver circuits, and high-frequency switching layouts.
- Certification to IPC-J-STD-001 (Space Addendum) or FAA Repairman Certificate for wire harness assembly.
- Familiarity with HV safety interlocks (HVIL), battery management systems, and contactor control logic.
- Experience installing and troubleshooting flight-worthy instrumentation (strain gauges, thermocouples, RTDs) and associated DAQ software.
- Proven track record supporting prototype aircraft or UAV flight-test programs in cross-functional engineering teams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to generate clear build logs, discrepancy reports, and red-lined drawings for configuration control.
