About the RoleNiacc-Avitech Technologies, an FAA Part 145 repair facility specializing in aircraft component repair and overhaul, is seeking an Engineer - Repair Development / Wire Harness to bridge our technical and operational teams.
This is a unique dual-focus position combining technical engineering development (60%) with hands-on shop floor work (40%). You'll develop repair solutions for aircraft wiring harnesses and electrical components while working directly with technicians to implement and validate your designs.
If you're an engineer who thrives solving real-world technical problems-and enjoys getting your hands dirty alongside the people who execute your work-this role is for you.
What You'll DoEngineering & Development:- Research technical requirements from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, manuals, specifications, and regulatory standards
- Analyze complex technical data and synthesize it into clear, actionable work instructions for repair technicians
- Interpret wiring schematics, electrical diagrams, and engineering specifications; identify repair or manufacturing solutions
- Develop, test, and refine repair procedures, technical documentation, and engineering drawings
- Create technical documentation and drawings that translate your repair solutions into shop floor reality
- Investigate technical challenges with Production, Quality, and other departments; recommend process improvements
Hands-On Contribution:- Troubleshoot, fabricate, repair, and test aircraft wiring harnesses and electrical components
- Apply wire harness design and manufacturing principles to develop practical, implementable repair solutions
- Validate new repair processes and work instructions directly with technicians on the shop floor
- Manage multiple engineering projects and priorities while meeting deadlines
Why Join Niacc-Avitech?The Opportunity: Work on systems that directly impact aerospace safety and performance. You'll see your repairs implemented by skilled technicians and understand the real-world impact of your engineering work-not just theoretical outcomes.
The Environment: We value engineers who are curious and hands-on. You won't be siloed in an office; you'll collaborate directly with technicians, quality professionals, and production teams to solve problems together.
The Organization: As part of HEICO Corporation, you'll benefit from the resources and stability of a major aerospace leader while maintaining the agility and focus of a specialized repair facility.
The Role: This position offers genuine technical variety. You'll spend your time designing solutions, troubleshooting systems, and learning the practical constraints that separate good engineering from great engineering.
