Supernal provides an inviting open-space workplace designed to foster collaboration, which aligns with one of our core values. This position is required to work on-site 5 days a week.

What we do: 

Supernal is seeking a Lead Electrical Wiring (EWIS) Engineer to drive the design, integration, and execution of critical wiring systems for a next-generation electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. In this role, you will lead cross-functional integration across electrical, avionics, and mechanical systems, manage zonal digital mock-ups, and ensure robust design execution aligned with safety-critical aerospace standards. As a lead, you will also provide technical direction, mentor engineers, and own key aircraft-level decisions within your area of responsibility. 

What you can do:

• Serve as the technical lead for wiring design and integration within a major aircraft zone, ensuring cross-functional alignment and regulatory compliance
• Lead and mentor a team of engineers across wiring design, 3D integration, and lab support activities
• Drive trade studies, design reviews, and architecture decisions for safety-critical wiring systems
• Act as the primary engineering interface for assigned aircraft sections, collaborating with systems, structures, avionics, and manufacturing teams
• Develop and maintain complex wiring diagrams and wire harness documentation using Siemens Capital or equivalent tool
• Lead the creation and integration of 3D wire harness models using 3Dx Catia, ensuring full fitment and maintainability in the aircraft digital mock-up
• Integrate communication protocols including ARINC, CAN, Ethernet, and Serial across multiple subsystems
• Modify and optimize conformal harnesses for both flight and test environments, including support for instrumentation, diagnostics, and power management
• Own and manage the digital mock-up (DMU) for a large aircraft section, ensuring all subsystems are accommodated, accessible, and properly routed
• Control space allocations, routing envelopes, and maintain adherence to system separation and interface requirements models (IRMs)
• Manage the top-level part numbers, BOM structures, and master geometry models for assigned aircraft zones
• Lead design fly-throughs and configuration reviews to identify issues early and maintain technical alignment through Critical Design Review (CDR)
• Ensure all designs meet or exceed applicable standards, including FAR Part 23/25, AC 43.13-1B, AS50881, and ASTM F2639
• Troubleshoot and resolve integration and wiring issues during lab bring-up and testing, developing rework plans and corrective actions as needed
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to ensure design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and production-readiness across all wire harness systems

What you can contribute:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (preferred) in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field required
• A minimum of eight (8) years of experience in aerospace or high-integrity wiring system design, with at least two (2) years in a technical leadership role
• High proficiency in Siemens Capital, CATIA V5/V6/3DX/NX, Enovia or Teamcenter
• Strong working knowledge of aerospace wiring standards, communication protocols, EMI mitigation, and regulatory compliance
• Demonstrated experience leading zonal integration, DMU, BOM configuration, and multi-disciplinary coordination in aircraft programs
• Excellent leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills, with a proven ability to mentor junior engineers and guide complex projects through full lifecycle development

You may also be able to contribute:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Proactive delivery of communication and follow up
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to independently prioritize and accomplish work within time constraints
• Proficiency with MS Office Suite
