We are looking for a Senior / Lead Harness Engineer (EWIS) who takes ownership, thinks in aircraft-level systems, and enjoys finding pragmatic, fast paths forward in a startup environment.In this role, you are not “just designing harnesses” — you are shaping how the aircraft is wired, from early architecture decisions through prototype builds and into manufacturable solutions. You will act as the EWIS focal point, interfacing closely with systems, avionics, structures, propulsion, and manufacturing, and helping the team converge on robust, lightweight, and producible solutions.EWIS is a core backbone of the aircraft and a source of truth for manufacturing. Attention to detail matters — but so does knowing when to move forward, iterate, and improve on the next build.Tasks

Own and drive EWIS design and interface requirements across the aircraft (electrical wiring interconnect system)
Design, optimize, and evolve aerospace harnesses across the full lifecycle, from early concept through prototype and production
Create and maintain complex harnesses and assemblies in CAD, including routing and integration at aircraft level
Derive fully dimensioned 2D technical drawings to support manufacturing, inspection, and certification needs
Actively support manufacturing, integration, and test activities, including hands-on involvement during prototype builds
Support system development from concept to production, working closely with avionics, propulsion, structures, and operations
Identify and resolve design, manufacturing, and assembly issues in a pragmatic, solution-oriented manner

Requirementsrequired:

Degree in electrical engineering or a comparable level of relevant professional experience
Solid experience with electrical equipment integration, including grounding and bonding
Good understanding of manufacturing drawings and harness documentation, including lacing, marking, and BOMs
Proficiency working with state-of-the-art EWIS tools
Proficiency in CAD tools, with basic familiarity with PDM/PLM systems
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, combined with a pragmatic, target-oriented work style
Clear and effective communication skills across disciplines and seniority levels
Eligibility to work in Switzerland (EU/EFTA or equivalent work authorization)

advantageous:

Professional background in the Aerospace/UAV or automotive industry, or similarly complex, safety-critical environments
Experience working with Onshape (CAD)
Experience working with Altium Designer (CAD), including schematics and scripting
