Job RequirementsQuest Global is an organization at the forefront of innovation and one of the world’s fastest growing engineering services firms with deep domain knowledge and recognized expertise in the top OEMs across seven industries. We are a twenty-five-year-old company on a journey to becoming a centenary one, driven by aspiration, hunger and humility.We are looking for humble geniuses, who believe that engineering has the potential to make the impossible, possible; innovators, who are not only inspired by technology and innovation, but also perpetually driven to design, develop, and test as a trusted partner for Fortune 500 customers.Engineer be responsible for designing, routing, and installing electrical harnesses for aerospace systems—from concept through to certification and production. That means translating system requirements into wiring solutions that actually work, fit, and can be built and maintained reliably.Engineer’s work will touch every part of the aircraft, from avionics and power systems to sensors and lighting. You’ll collaborate with systems engineers, mechanical design teams, and manufacturing to make sure what you design is not only technically solid but also physically feasible.Work ExperienceKey Responsibilities:
  • Design and develop 2D schematics and 3D harness routing using tools like CATIA V5, Siemens NX, or similar
  • Create wire diagrams, connector tables, harness BOMs, and installation drawings
  • Ensure designs meet aerospace standards (AS50881, ARP4754, DO-160, etc.)
  • Route harnesses through complex mechanical structures and resolve clashes or fit issues
  • Select appropriate wire types, shielding, back shells, connectors, and environmental protections
  • Support EMI/EMC compliance by working closely with systems and test teams
  • Collaborate with manufacturing and suppliers to ensure harnesses are buildable and meet quality requirements
  • Drive resolution of installation issues during build or testing phases
  • Maintain configuration control and document traceability across design changes
Work ExperienceRequired Skills (Technical Competency):
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent
  • 3+ years of experience in aerospace harness or installation design
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD tools for harness routing (CATIA V5 Electrical, NX, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of aerospace wiring standards, wire types, and harness components
  • Familiarity with system-level requirements and how they map to harness design
  • Strong documentation and communication skills—clear, direct, and technically accurate
  • Comfortable working in cross-functional teams and handling real-world constraints
Good to have:
  • Experience with aircraft certification (FAA, EASA)
  • Knowledge of EWIS compliance and documentation
  • Exposure to power distribution systems, flight control wiring, or RF harnessing
  • Hands-on experience with harness manufacturing or troubleshooting on the shop floor
