**Wire Harness Design Development**
- Act as a wiring harness circuit system developer for a particular harness family or families on a vehicle program.
- Harness design development involves studies of the entire vehicle electrical system topologies, and sub-systems topologies for optimized design and complexity.
- Create robust and optimized designs and develop changes that will improve quality, cost, and customer satisfaction. Includes addition of splices, grounds, terminals, seals and other supplier value added information.
- Direct design proposals through review of systems data in customer and Aptiv DEF environments.
- Assure Aptiv and customer specifications are being designed into and are met by the final product during pilot and production phases.
- Validation test plan development
- Vehicle build verification prior to pilot/production events
- Review Warranty information post launch to identify design continuous improvements.
**Pre and Post Production Launch Issue Tracking**
- Record and report to internal Aptiv and external customer engineering teams on individual harness issues.
- Communicate status of issues on a regular basis to engineering team to assure resolution is moving forward in a reasonable timeframe.
**Engineering Change Coordination**
- Support vehicle level meetings, where component wiring systems issues are discussed with cross functional teams to find common resolution. Includes meetings to discuss harness partitioning, complexity, options content, Inline development and other critical development areas.
- Communicate the design changes and potential implementation timing to downstream users including but not limited to internal wiring harness manufacturing plants, and external vehicle manufacturing plants to obtain buy-off and begin change implementation process.
**Pilot and Launch Build Support**
- Support both Prototype and Production Launch build events per contractual requirements with customer.
- Support rework of wiring assembly when required to address quality or engineering issues
- Responsible for supporting all vehicle build events, conducting root cause analysis and corrective actions on circuit design issues, design errors and/or manufacturing quality issues.
**Support of Wire Harness Validation Testing**
- Support Harness Validation activities on the vehicle program per contractual test specifications.
- Aide in development of project specific validation plans, Design Failure Mode Effects Analysis, and Design Validation Program and Report plans. These plans will address both Design Validation (DV) and Production Validation (PV).
