Job Description Job Description Company Overview Griffon
Aerospace is a trusted aerospace solutions provider based in
Madison, Alabama, specializing in the design, development, and
operation of advanced unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Since 1995,
we have delivered over 12,000 unmanned air vehicles to the
Department of Defense, allied nations, and commercial customers. We
pride ourselves on being a lion-hearted partner, designing,
building, and flying the most capable and intelligent aerial
systems that give our servicemen an unfair advantage wherever they
fly. Position Summary We are looking for a Junior Electrical
Manufacturing Engineer specializing in wire harness fabrication and
vehicle integration for our unmanned aircraft platforms. You will
be the technical lead on the production floor, ensuring that
complex electrical systems-including power distribution, flight
controllers, and sensor arrays-are built to aerospace standards.
Your goal is to ensure electrical systems and components are
lightweight, durable, and effectively integrated into the airframe.
Primary Responsibilities Harness Fabrication Support: Oversee the
assembly of complex wire harnesses, including connector crimping,
soldering, shielding for EMI/EMC, and heat-shrinkage. System
Integration: Assist technicians in the physical routing of
harnesses within the airframe to ensure proper bend radii and
vibration resistance. DFM for Flight: Provide feedback to the
design team to optimize wire routing for weight reduction and ease
of maintenance in the field. Testing & Continuity: Perform
high-pot, continuity, and signal integrity testing on completed
harnesses before they are integrated into the aircraft. Tooling &
Fixtures: Design and maintain harness assembly boards (formboards)
and specialized jigs for repeatable, high-accuracy fabrication.
Failure Analysis: Troubleshoot "ghost" signals or power drops
during ground tests and implement corrective actions for the
production line. Required Qualifications Education: B.S. in
Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related
technical discipline. Experience: 0–2 years (Experience with RC
aircraft, drones, or formula SAE/solar car teams is highly valued).
Technical Skills: * Proficiency in reading complex wiring
schematics and 3D routing models. Hands-on skills with precision
crimp tools, wire strippers, and soldering stations. Understanding
of wire gauges (AWG), insulation types (Tefzel/PTFE), and shielding
techniques. Mindset: Attention to detailing aerospace, a single
loose pin can lead to a "lost link" event. Preferred Qualifications
Industry Standards: Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Requirements
and Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies). CAD
Experience: Experience with SolidWorks Electrical , CATIA V5/V6 ,
or KiCAD . UAS Knowledge: Familiarity with Pixhawk/ArduPilot
ecosystems, PWM/SBUS protocols, and high-voltage battery (LiPo)
safety. Testing: Experience using automated cable testers (e.g.,
Cirris or DIT-MCO). Why Join Griffon Aerospace? At Griffon
Aerospace, you'll be part of a team developing next generation
unmanned aerial systems for national defense. You'll gain exposure
to cutting-edge technologies in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
where your contributions directly impact critical defense
capabilities. We offer opportunities for professional growth and
the chance to work on innovative projects that make a difference.
