Work History
Senior Wire Harness Design Enginer
Nikola Motor Company
06.2020 - Current
- Lead the development of low voltage wire harness routing in dry area (cabin) in 3DExperience. Worked directly with harness supplier and internal cross-functional teams to achieve a production design.
- Designed and released 2D drawings of harnesses in Capital HarnessXC defining the appropriate electrical sub-components, protections and detailing special instructions to harness supplier.
- DRE of main cabin fuse box and electrical diagram label.
- Established development of chassis harnesses installation drawings to manufacturing for TRE BEV launch.
- Assisted first builds of prototype vehicles doing hands-on work on harnesses (either adding splices, cutting/adding wires, crimping and installing harnesses with appropriate fixing elements).
- Helped launch of Nikola TRE BEV and FCEV at many production line stations.
- Developed entire 3D and 2D special automotive ethernet and coaxial cables for prototypes purposes.
- Created a full-parametric design of HV cables (from 4mm2 to 120mm2 sizes) and released 2D drawings.
- Ensure all HV cables had their required strain relief and fixation points at the right spot with right heavy duty attachment elements. Worked with cross-functional teams to achieve this.
- Responsible of creating a Library/Catalog of all LV harness and HV Cables subcomponents.
Engineering Intern, Quality
Honeywell Aerospace
01.2020 - 03.2020
- Created FAIR’s (First Article Inspection Report) of heat exchanger parts and submitting all these reports in Team Center
- Created markups of old part's drawing in order to recreate them.

- Capital HarnessXC
- MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Prototype development
- Design optimization
- Cross-functional collaboration
Accomplishments
- Collaborated with structures team to reduce cost of HV cable retention points by using heavy duty fasteners instead of complex bracket designs.
- Implemented an autonomous method of 3D harness design by creating links and interfaces between connector-to-device and cable-to-retention points, saving 20% of work effort time .
- Reduced costs of LV harnesses by removing unnecessary harness protection and excess of inline connectors, as well as replacing connectors with "greater features" than required.
Certification
- HV level 3 (Energizing and De-energizing vehicle)
- Hybrid and Electric Vehicles
- CATIA V5 - Wire Harness Assembly and High Voltage Design
- Automotive Electrical Diagnosis (Intermediate)
