As an Electrical CAD Designer within the Automotive Wiring Harness & Electrical Modules/Systems team, you will play a pivotal role in the development and integration of electrical components. Your responsibilities will include conducting benchmarking and packaging studies to determine optimal locations for electrical modules and systems within vehicles. You will independently design attachment schemes and brackets for these systems, making informed technical decisions in collaboration with D&R Engineers and suppliers. A core part of this role involves utilizing CAD software for comprehensive wiring harness design, including wiring optimization studies and the creation of detailed drawings. You will also work closely with the Electrical & Electronics Systems Engineering (EESE) team, providing support and developing innovative engineered solutions. This position requires a strong understanding of vehicle architecture and a keen eye for manufacturing, assembly, and service feasibility.
