Description
About the Role
Niacc-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 Do
Engineering & 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.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field, OR equivalent technical education combined with 3+ years of relevant professional experience
- Demonstrated experience with electrical wire harnesses, wiring systems, or aerospace electrical components
- Proficiency reading and interpreting wiring diagrams, schematics, and engineering drawings
- Strong mechanical and electrical aptitude
- Clear written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment
Preferred Qualifications:
- Aerospace, aviation component repair, or aircraft manufacturing experience
- Familiarity with FAA Part 145 repair facility operations and regulatory requirements
- Experience with MIL-SPEC or aerospace-grade wiring and electrical standards
- Prior hands-on experience with aircraft systems or components
Professional Attributes:
- Strong problem-solving orientation, with the ability to identify root causes and develop effective, practical solutions
- Demonstrated ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities and operational conditions
- Receptive to new ideas and approaches, while also contributing original solutions and process improvements
- Self-motivated and results-driven, with a strong commitment to achieving objectives
- Disciplined, task-oriented approach to completing assignments and following established procedures accurately and consistently
