Momentus CAD Drafter – Electrical Harness Design at Momentus responsible for creating and revising electrical harness documentation and work instructions. This role focuses on converting engineering information into clear, controlled documentation for manufacturing and quality audits.

Responsibilities

Convert raw pinout, connector, and port-to-port definitions into clear and standardized electrical harness documentation.
Create and maintain harness drawings, wiring documentation, tables, and manufacturing/work instructions.
Clean up and standardize an existing backlog of engineering harness drawings in preparation for ISO and quality audits.
Prepare documentation packages so they are ready for upload and release in Duro through the Engineering Change Order (ECO) process.
Support ECO documentation by providing accurate, complete, and revision-controlled source material.
Work with engineers to resolve missing, inconsistent, or unclear harness information.
Ensure documentation is easy for manufacturing, technicians, quality, and engineering teams to interpret and use.
Maintain consistent documentation standards across harnesses and assemblies.
Address ECO rejections by coordinating with other engineers to update the affected drawings, BOM, work instructions, or supporting documentation as needed.
Create complete, production-ready harness build documentation in Altium or other approved formats such as wiring diagrams or block diagrams, with the goal that an in-house technician or external harness manufacturing vendor can build the harness accurately without requiring additional clarification from engineering.
Translate engineering definitions - including pinouts, port-to-port connectivity, connector definitions, wire requirements, and other design inputs into clear and unambiguous harness drawings and work instructions.
Create and maintain the harness Bill of Materials (BOM) as part of the work instructions, including connectors, contacts, wire, terminals, backshells, labels, sleeving, and other required harness components based on the engineering definition.
