Additionally, without access to some curated and approved connector families, cabling teams are often forced to use various types of connectors that may lack USCAR certification, be difficult to source, or have poor quality and manufacturing. The ideal harness development tool must be able to support a bottom-up design flow and multiple connector types.

After the initial creation phase, much of the work of the cabling engineer is related to implementing the changes. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said: “Everything changes, nothing stays the same”. This is the daily work of wiring engineers. Harness design and engineering are always changing. In startups, ad hoc processes and new engineers are prevalent due to tighter time constraints.
