• Set up and calibrate wire processing equipment such as Schleuniger, Komax, or similar machines, including blade setup and CFM validation.
• Use electronic test equipment, including Cirris, Cable Scan, Hi‑Pot testers, pull testers, micro‑ohmmeters, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and digital multimeters (DMM), to verify product performance and integrity.
• Build or design test fixtures for continuity and Hi‑Pot testing to support production and quality verification.
• Diagnose electrical faults on cable assemblies and harnesses, including shorts, opens, and continuity issues, and perform debugging and repair as needed.
• Create and maintain work instructions, travelers, and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for production use, ensuring clarity and accuracy.
• Manage redlines, engineering change orders (ECOs), and Bills of Materials (BOM) updates to keep documentation current and aligned with product requirements.
• Estimate labor times to support quoting and job costing activities for new and existing products.
• Perform root cause analysis on defects or process issues and implement corrective and preventive actions in collaboration with engineering, production, and quality teams.
• Cut, strip, and crimp wires using manual and automated tools while maintaining high levels of accuracy and consistency.
• Insert wires into circular connectors and other connector types by following detailed assembly instructions and wiring diagrams.
• Perform soldering operations on wires, terminals, and connectors in accordance with IPC standards, with training provided if needed.
• Read and interpret blueprints, wiring diagrams, wire schematics, and Bills of Materials to ensure correct assembly and configuration.
• Inspect completed assemblies for accuracy, workmanship, and compliance with internal quality standards and customer requirements.
• Support production by maintaining a clean, organized workstation and following all safety and ESD procedures.
• Perform mechanical assembly and packaging tasks associated with electronic assemblies and wire harnesses as required.
• Use hand tools and power tools safely and effectively for electronic and mechanical assembly work.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance processes, quality, and efficiency.

• At least 3 years of electronics experience in assembly and testing.
• Strong ability to set up, calibrate, and utilize electronic test equipment, including Hi‑Pot testers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, ohmmeters, DMMs, and similar instruments.
• Proficiency with wire processing tools such as crimpers, strippers, cutters, soldering irons, and inspection tools.
• Demonstrated experience in wiring, crimping, soldering, and electronic assembly for wire harnesses and cable assemblies.
• Ability to read and accurately interpret blueprints, wiring diagrams, wire schematics, and Bills of Materials (BOMs).
• Experience using and maintaining test equipment such as Cirris, Cable Scan, Hi‑Pot, pull testers, and micro‑ohmmeters.
• Hands‑on experience with troubleshooting, debugging, repair, and calibration of electronic assemblies and harnesses.
• Strong attention to detail, consistently producing precise, high‑quality work with small components and repetitive tasks.
• Good manual dexterity and comfort working with fine‑pitch components and detailed assemblies.
• Ability to create and follow work instructions, travelers, and SOPs in a production environment.
• Capability to estimate labor times and understand basic job costing concepts.
• Familiarity with wire harness assembly processes and Our Client line‑style production environments.
• Eligibility under ITAR requirements, with documentation available as needed.

• IPC Certification such as J‑STD‑001…
