Radiant Industries Harness Design Engineer at Radiant Industries responsible for design, build, and integration of electrical wire harnesses. Own harness system design, create manufacturing drawings, and support integration and troubleshooting.
Responsibilities
Radiant is seeking a Harness Design Engineer to support the design, build, and integration of electrical wire harnesses in a fast-paced startup environment. You’ll work alongside experienced mechanical and electrical engineers to solve challenging problems in system architecture, sensor/actuator selection, packaging, and system integration for advanced hardware. This role offers hands-on exposure to end-to-end hardware development from CAD and analysis through build, test, and validation.
Own the design of the harnessing system from concept to integration, and serve as the subject matter expert on the interconnection between electrical and hardware systems.
Create harness drawings for manufacturing and act as the primary point of contact for the harness manufacturing team.
Support the creation of the reactor electrical schematics using Zuken E3 Cable and maintain the pinout tables throughout the design cycle.
Make decisions about conductor sizing, wire type, and shielding methods for low and high voltage using industry standards for guidance.
Use an understanding of electrical failure mechanisms, including voltage drop, thermal effects, and interference, to identify and mitigate risks.
Select materials, with support from the materials team, for harnessing in challenging environments across the reactor.
Support technicians with harness integration on the reactor as the system owner.
Work with the electrical team to commission the system and troubleshoot issues across the reactor.
Provide nonconformance solutions throughout the build and integration phases of development to limit program delays and maximize system uptime.
Qualification
Experience with Zuken E3 CableAdditional RequirementsMust work 100% onsite at El Segundo HQ
Required
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited institution.
3+ Years of professional hands-on harness design or manufacturing experience.
Strong understanding of harnessing architecture, grounding schemas, power requirements, and shielding.
Strong understanding of electrical systems and the ability to interpret schematics.
Proficiency with analog instrumentation including 4-20mA sensors, accelerometers, resolvers, RTDs, and thermocouples.
Experience with Zuken E3 Cable, EPLAN, or similar harness design and schematic capture tools.
Proficiency with inductive devices such as solenoid valves.
Familiarity with Siemens NX or similar 3D CAD tools.
Basic understanding of high-voltage systems up to 1000 volts.
Preferred
5+ Years of professional hands-on harness design or manufacturing experience.
Harness design for high-reliability or harsh environments (nuclear, aerospace, defense, or industrial), including radiation, thermal cycling, or vibration exposure.
Familiarity with industry harnessing standards such as IPC/WHMA-A-620, SAE AS50881, or NEC/NFPA requirements.
Hands-on experience supporting harness build and integration on the floor, including troubleshooting and nonconformance resolution during commissioning.
Additional Requirements:
Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to accomplish our mission.
