Also called: Wire Harness Designer
Designs the bundles of wiring that carry power and data through a rocket or satellite.
You route hundreds of wires in 3D software and produce drawings that technicians follow. You also visit the floor to see how your harness fits into the real spacecraft.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
Associate's degree (2-year), about 2 years after high school. Associate in electrical technology or bachelor's in engineering.
Ways in: 2-year college, 4-year college. Training cost: Under $15k.
Majors to look at: Electrical Engineering Technology.
Growing slowly (about 0% over 10 years). Electrical drafters overall.
Medium risk in 5 years, high in 10. Electrical CAD and AI auto-route harness designs, cutting design roles; fit checks on real hardware stay human.
