Electrical Engineer

Position Title: Electrical Engineer

Location: Raymond, Ohio (Onsite)

Role Type: Contract

Implementation Partner: HCL America

Visa s: EAD/TN/E3/OPT EAD/STEM/ EAD/L2S

Mandatory Skills:

Hands-on experience in wiring harness design tools (Siemens Capital/CATIA) and harness routing, schematic design, or BOM development.

Job Description:

Perform all aspects of automotive harness development using Siemens Capital CAE harness design tools. Reference or import harness data from Catia v5/v6 to extract 3D routing. Reference or import logical network data from EAZ to extract connectivity and electrical characteristic aspects of existing harness designs.

1. Logical Architecture & System Design

• Logical wiring architecture models developed in Siemens Capital
• Power and ground distribution
• Signal and communication networks (Direct, CAN, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay)
• Functional connectivity definitions between ECUs, sensors, actuators, and loads
• Logical signal lists and port definitions with complete electrical attributes
• System-level design validation outputs (completeness, connectivity consistency, rule compliance)

2. Physical Harness Design

• Physical harness designs in Siemens Capital
• Equivalent in scope and engineering intent to CATIA/EAZ designs
• Harness topology and routing definitions
• Bundle structure, splices, branches, and breakouts
• In-vehicle routing intent by zone (body, IP, doors, engine bay, rear)
• Connector and terminal assignments with correct cavity usage and keying
• Wire and cable definitions including gauge, color, material, shielding, and twist rules

3. Capital-Generated Manufacturing Outputs

• 2D harness drawings suitable for manufacturing and supplier release
• Harness and vehicle-level Bill of Materials (BOMs)
• Wire lists and cut-length reports
• Connectivity and net reports
• Splice and joint tables
• Shielding and grounding reports
• Change-controlled design datasets for release management

4. End-to-End Harness Execution Packages

• Complete end-to-end Capital execution
• Logical design physical harness design manufacturing outputs
• Production-ready harness datasets
• Align to active vehicle development programs Validation
• Capital outputs meet OEM production release requirements

5. CAE Analysis & Validation Deliverables (Harness-Focused)

• Electrical rule checks and design validation reports
• Circuit protection and fuse validation with Siemens Capital Analysis
• Voltage drop readiness (where applicable) with Siemens Capital Analysis
• Design consistency and error-check
• Full vehicle harness summaries with Siemens Capital Analysis
• Support data for downstream simulation activities
• Logical, thermal, packaging, or durability output as required
• Support formats required by Spice and Ansys TwinBuilder

6. Comparison & Benchmarking Deliverables

• Side-by-side comparison packages
• Siemens Capital outputs vs. EA1 CATIA/EAZ outputs
• Wiring intent, connectivity, BOM, and drawing equivalency
• Gap and delta analysis reports
• Feature differences
• Data fidelity gaps
• Manual vs. automated steps

7. Workflow & Process Documentation

• Documented Capital workflow steps for harness design execution
• Time and effort summaries for each major activity
• Process comparison reports
• Capital vs. legacy toolchain efficiency
• Complexity, rework, and iteration impact
• Recommendations for future-state workflow improvements

8. Change & Configuration Management Deliverables

• Change impact assessment packages (connectivity, BOM, manufacturing)
• Revision-controlled harness datasets
• Clear traceability between logical, physical, and released data

9. Cross-Functional Communication Deliverables

• Design review presentation packages
• Technical summaries for electrical, packaging, manufacturing, and supplier teams
• Issue tracking and resolution documentation

10. Knowledge Capture & Best Practices

• Capital modeling best-practice guidelines
• Lessons learned from live program execution
