Job Summary

Join a space-focused engineering team to industrialize and manufacture high-reliability electrical harnesses for the Nyx orbital vehicle. You will translate harness designs into robust manufacturing processes, fabricate development and test harnesses, ensure traceability, and collaborate with design and quality teams to certify harness assemblies for flight and testing.

Location: Munich

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Field Service, Maintenance & Skilled Trades

Key Responsibilities

•Build electrical harnesses (development, qualification, and test harnesses), including cut/strip, crimp, splice, solder (where applicable), lacing/tie, over-braid/shield terminations, labeling, and final assembly.
•Support batch-by-batch production for test campaigns and verification activities (e.g., shock/vibration, EMI/EMC, TVAC), coordinating readiness of parts, tooling, and work instructions.
•Work closely with harness design and integration stakeholders to ensure manufacturability (DFM), clarity of drawings, and alignment between wiring diagrams and physical assembly.
•Maintain “as-built” records, deviations, rework logs, and configuration/serial tracking for harnesses and critical components.
•Follow precise processes and work instructions while maintaining consistency and traceability during production.

Key Requirements

•Technical vocational training (Ausbildung) in electrical, electronic, or mechanical fields (e.g. Elektroniker, Mechatroniker) or equivalent hands-on experience.
•Strong hands-on experience with wiring harness manufacturing or cable assembly in high-reliability contexts (aerospace/space, aviation, motorsport, defense, medical, or similar).
•Ability to interpret harness drawings, wiring diagrams, BOMs, and connector tables; comfortable working from controlled documentation and detailed work instructions.
•Solid understanding of harness workmanship principles (crimp quality, strain relief, routing/bend radius, shielding/grounding practices, backshell assembly and torqueing, etc.).
•Practical troubleshooting skills (identifying pinning errors, shorts/opens, intermittent faults, damaged contacts, shielding issues, etc.).
