Electrical Design Engineer (Cable Harness & Creo)

Location: Gloucester, MA We're seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support design, engineering change control, and build activities for complex semiconductor capital equipment. The role demands hands-on ownership of cable harness design, schematic development, documentation, and cross-functional coordination through formal change processes (ECO/ECN/VPR/QN).

Key Responsibilities: Design & Documentation Develop and update electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and cable harness designs using Pro/ENGINEER (Pro-E/Creo). Create and maintain BOMs, part lists, and drawing packages; ensure drawing readability and GD&T awareness for electrical interfaces. Review, interpret, and redline engineering drawings; Change Control & Configuration Management Initiate and process ECO (Engineering Change Orders), ECN (Engineering Change Notices), VPR (Vendor Part Requests/Reviews), and QN (Quality Notifications) within Agile PLM and Windchill. Manufacturing & Onsite Support Provide onsite build support for semiconductor equipment—troubleshoot wiring issues, connector pinouts, interlocks, and power distribution. Collaborate with assembly teams to resolve design-for-manufacture (DFM) and design-for-service (DFS) concerns. Quality & Problem Solving Lead root cause analysis using structured problem-solving (8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys) and implement robust corrective/preventive actions. Address QNs, drive closure with measurable effectiveness; improve harness reliability and EMI/EMC performance where applicable. Skill Requirements Electrical Design: Cable harnessing, wire routing, connector selection, grounding, shielding, safety interlocks. Schematics & CAD: Pro-E/Creo for schematics and harness drawings; familiarity with ECAD–MCAD collaboration. PLM & PDM: Agile PLM and Windchill for change control, releases, and configuration management. Change Processes: Hands-on with ECO, ECN, VPR, QN workflows. Documentation: Strong drawing reading, redlining, revision control, and release practices. Problem Solving: Proven track record of resolving build issues quickly and permanently; Communication: Clear, concise communication with shopfloor teams and engineering stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have: Experience with semiconductor equipment (vacuum systems, gas boxes, RF/power distribution, motion control). Exposure to EMC/EMI, safety standards (e.g., UL/CE), and industrial connectors Knowledge of DFM/DFS, Lean manufacturing, and design validation processes. Vendor interaction for harness manufacturing and first article inspection (FAI).
