Wire Harness Designer

Sygnal Technologies | Moscow, ID (In-Office)

About Sygnal:

Sygnal Technologies is a robotics engineering company specializing in drive-by-wire vehicle conversions and autonomous system integration. We work with heavy equipment, and specialty platforms for clients in defense, commercial, and industrial markets such as steel mills. We're a small, fast-moving team doing work that is genuinely cutting edge and we're growing.

The Role:

We are looking for an experienced Wire Harness Designer to join our team. You will be responsible for designing and documenting wire harnesses for automotive autonomy and drive-by-wire vehicle conversion applications. This is a hands-on role where your work goes directly into real systems on real vehicles.

Responsibilities:

• Design and draft wire harness schematics and layouts using Cadonix Arcadia

• Create formboard layouts for manufacturing

• Build and maintain connector and component libraries

• Generate BOMs and manufacturing documentation packages

• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to ensure designs meet system requirements

• Review camera, lidar, power, vehicle, and compute manuals to identify pinouts, connector types, and electrical loads.

• Iterate on designs as systems evolve and incorporate lessons learned

• Support the manufacturing team during harness build and validation

Deliverables:

• Block/System Diagram

  • High-level architectural drawing showing how everything connects.

• Load Table

  • Wire sizing requirements based on the loads of connected devices and electrical systems.

• Logical Diagram

  • How everything connects electrically at the signal level.

• Wire Harness Schematic

  • How everything connects at the physical level (butt splices, pinouts, connectors); captures all physical items but not their physical layout.

• Form Board

  • 1:1 physical-scale layout of what will be manufactured, including lengths, branching, and sleeving.

• Electrical BOM

  • Bill of materials for the harness build: connectors, terminals, wire, sleeving, and hardware.

• Safety Documentation

• Wiring related sections of the Operations and Maintenance Manual (OMM)
