NM_104 - Design Engineer (SolidWorks Electrical / Wiring Harness)

Experience: 3–4 Years

Location: Bangalore

Qualification: BE / B.Tech / M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering

Role Overview

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with 3–4 years of experience in wiring harness design, electrical packaging, and vehicle-level integration. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience with SolidWorks Electrical, harness routing and creation, 2D drawing preparation, and vehicle-level packaging studies.

The candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop and integrate wiring harnesses and electrical components while ensuring design feasibility, manufacturability, and compliance with vehicle-level requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and manage 3D wiring harness routing and design using SolidWorks Electrical.
• Create and modify wiring harness designs based on vehicle-level requirements and packaging constraints.
• Demonstrate good understanding of the wiring harness assembly and manufacturing process.
• Conduct electrical harness and component packaging studies at the vehicle level.
• Develop design guidelines and packaging recommendations for effective mechanical and electrical integration.
• Conduct packaging and design reviews with cross-functional teams and provide suitable engineering solutions.
• Understand vehicle-level requirements, including:
• Carry-over aggregates
• Vehicle BOM
• Vehicle segments
• Vehicle aggregate integration
• Create and maintain 2D wiring harness drawings and related design documentation.
• Apply DFA (Design for Assembly), DFS (Design for Service), DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and DVA principles during product development.
• Coordinate effectively with cross-functional teams such as Mechanical Design, Electrical, Manufacturing, Quality, and Validation.
• Review harness routing and packaging to ensure proper clearances, accessibility, serviceability, and manufacturability.
• Ensure appropriate selection and integration of harness protection and retention components.
  

Required Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on knowledge of SolidWorks Electrical, particularly 3D harness routing and creation.
• Good understanding of wiring harness design and assembly processes.
• Experience in vehicle-level electrical and mechanical packaging.
• Good knowledge of 2D harness drawing creation.
• Understanding of harness clamps, clips, grommets, protectors, and corrugated/cot tubes.
• Knowledge of DFA, DFS, DFM, and DVA concepts.
• Good understanding of mechanical integration and packaging principles.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, vehicle BOMs, and relevant design requirements.
• Good communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  
  

Good to Have

• Knowledge of electronic components and electrical systems.
• Experience working on automotive vehicle-level wiring harness projects.
• Exposure to vehicle architecture, aggregate integration, and electrical component packaging.
• Experience participating in design and packaging reviews with multiple engineering functions.
  
  

Educational Qualification
