Who we are
Built by family.
Driven by engineering.
Breeden Wiring Systems combines the accountability of a family-owned business with the perspective of experienced engineers and globally connected collaborators. We help teams turn complex electrical questions into practical, reviewable harness designs.

Our story
Big-program experience. A personal way of working.
Chris and Charlene (Charlie) Breeden founded BWS in 2020 to give customers focused wire-harness engineering support without losing the clarity and responsiveness of a smaller business.
Chris brought hands-on drafting and design experience as well as global engineering team leadership. Charlie helped build the business operations and customer continuity around that technical foundation. Today, BWS works alongside engineering organizations that need someone to understand the details, work through change and carry decisions into usable deliverables.
We value practical solutions over unnecessary complexity. Sometimes that means a detailed electrical or 3D design program. Sometimes it means answering the one urgent question keeping a prototype from moving forward.
2020Breeden Wiring Systems begins as a family-owned engineering business in Indiana.
TodayElectrical design, CAD workflows, selective prototyping and engineering problem-solving across application types.
Looking aheadVision 2035 guides the careful development of connected data, reusable knowledge and supervised AI tools.

The family-business difference
Our values are visible in how we work.
We measure the relationship by clarity, responsiveness and work a customer can actually use.
01 / ACCOUNTABILITY
Own the next step.
Make responsibilities, technical decisions and unfinished questions visible.
02 / PARTNERSHIP
Work alongside people.
Become an extension of the customer's engineering team, not a disconnected document vendor.
03 / INTEGRITY
Say what's known.
Separate confirmed information from assumptions and make risks discussable early.
04 / CURIOSITY
Keep learning.
Use prototype feedback, field observations and better tools to improve the next release.
Local roots, global understanding
Connected beyond our home state, accountable right here.
BWS is based in the Indianapolis area, but the engineering challenges we work through are not limited by geography.
Experience across internationally connected engineering teams and collaborators informs how we translate requirements, coordinate revisions and prepare handoffs. Project partners, locations and responsibilities are established for each engagement instead of assumed.
Indiana home basePersonal ownership and hands-on engineering.
Cross-team perspectiveCommunication that travels with the design data.
A diverse technical perspective
Different machines. Familiar engineering problems.
Experience spans mobile and industrial applications. The examples below are representative engineering considerations, not disclosures of specific customer projects or qualifications.
01 / POWER
Engines & energy systems
Harsh environments, vibration, service access and application-specific reliability.
02 / MOBILITY
Trucks & heavy equipment
Long routes, mechanical packaging, environmental protection and modular interfaces.
03 / ELECTRIFICATION
Automotive & EV
High/low-voltage interfaces, shielding, architecture and evolving requirements.
04 / AUTOMATION
Robotics & industrial
Compact packaging, cable motion, maintainability and control-system interfaces.
05 / ADVANCED MOBILITY
Aerospace & emerging vehicles
Weight, installation, documentation and project-specific compliance planning.
06 / SPECIALTY
Motorsport & specialty systems
Fast revisions, tight spaces, custom interfaces and test-focused validation.

Customer perspective
Real feedback, shared with permission.
We will add customer testimonials only when their wording and attribution are approved. In the meantime, we can talk through the types of engineering challenges BWS supports.
Vision 2035 / pragmatic progress
Experience leads. Better-connected information helps it travel.
Our long-term vision is a controlled thread of requirements, design knowledge, prototype learning and revisions. It builds on hands-on service rather than replacing engineering judgment.
What customers can engage BWS for today
Human-led engineering and prototype learning.
Harness definitions, electrical and mechanical CAD, design recovery, selective prototype support, verification planning and documented change decisions.
In development / Vision 2035
Connected workflows and supervised AI assistance.
Progressive input capture, cross-tool data mapping and governed knowledge workflows. Features are released only when proven, permissioned and reviewed.
