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.
