We are looking for a Wire Harness Technician. In this role, you will be highly focused on designing and building wire harnesses and custom cables to enable test setups required for rapid iteration across development, validation, and integration efforts. You will operate in a fast-paced prototyping and low-volume environment, building production-quality harnesses as well as on-demand, non-standard cable solutions that directly unblock engineering and testing teams. You will build harnesses from drawings, BOMs, and work orders while meeting IPC/WHMA standards and aggressive delivery timelines.
Job Responsibility:
Build build-to-print and custom wire harnesses, including cut, strip, crimp, solder, braid/sleeve, heat-shrink, basic potting, and final terminations
Create custom cables and harnesses on demand to support test setups, debugging, EVT/DVT activities, and rapid hardware iteration, often with evolving or incomplete requirements
Partner closely with engineering and test teams to quickly translate test needs into practical cable and harness solutions
Read and follow drawings, schematics, BOMs, work orders, and ECOs
record traceability in ERP/routers
Crimp and verify terminals/contacts (TE/AMP, Molex, JST, Amphenol/LEMO, etc.) with specified tooling
document pull tests when required
Print and apply labels and heat-shrink markers per print
Perform electrical tests: continuity, insulation/hipot, and basic troubleshooting with DMMs, cable testers, and fixtures
Execute rework to spec (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620) and support NCMR/MRB containment
Maintain 5S/ESD and safety standards
proactively suggest process, tooling, and DFM improvements—especially for testability and iteration speed
Requirements:
2–5+ years building wire harnesses and cable assemblies in manufacturing or prototyping environments
Strong ability to independently design and execute custom cable builds for test and prototype use
Ability to read prints/schematics and follow work instructions with minimal supervision
Proficiency in crimping and soldering (selective tinning, shields/drain wires, coax, twisted pair)
Hands-on experience with tooling: strippers, gauges, pull testers, manual/pneumatic crimpers (Daniels or similar), soldering stations, heat guns
Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Class 2/3) and familiarity with J-STD-001
Strong quality and schedule focus, with high first-pass yield and low rework in fast-iteration environments
Nice to have:
Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 certifications
Experience supporting test labs, EVT/DVT builds, and rapid iteration cycles
Experience with cable testers (e.g., Cirris) and basic fixture integration
Exposure to ECOs/NPI, startup environments, and creating or maintaining SOPs
Basic comfort with CAD viewers for drawing review and ERP systems for traceability
