Adecco is hiring for an exciting Contract-to-Hire opportunity!

The Level 3 Assembler is the go-to expert on the production floor, the person who can take a complex wire harness or cable assembly and bring it to life from start to finish. You’ll be hands on every day, tackling everything from precision soldering to detailed electrical terminations.

To shine in this role, you’ll need an active IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification and solid experience building high-reliability assemblies that meet strict industry and customer standards. We’re looking for someone who loves the details, thrives in a technical environment, and knows their way around both manual and semi-automated electrical assembly. Basically, if you enjoy building complex things and making them look easy, you’ll fit right in.

• Take full ownership of building wire harnesses and cable assemblies from start to finish
• This includes cutting, stripping, routing, terminating, bundling, and lacing wires
• Install connectors, back shells, sleeves, and labels
• Use jigs, form boards, layout boards, and other build fixtures as needed to get the job done right

• Perform precise hand-soldering on wires, terminals, and when needed PCB components
• Follow IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class II or III and J-STD-001 standards while soldering
• Make soldered splices, wire-to-pin/connector joints, and handle repairs when required

• Work confidently from wiring diagrams, schematics, BOMs, engineering drawings, and verbal instructions
• Build according to the latest revisions and version-controlled documents

• Follow all work instructions, travelers, and routing sheets accurately
• Work efficiently in lean production cells and complete builds within expected time frames
• Keep the workspace clean, organized, and compliant with ESD and 5S standards

• Must have an active IPC/WHMA-A-620 Certified Specialist (CS) certification
• J-STD-001 certification is a plus, but being willing to earn it after hire works too
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience building electrical wire harnesses, doing soldering work, and assembling cables
• Comfortably using a variety of tools, including
• Hand tools: soldering irons, wire strippers, crimpers, cutters, tweezers
• Test & assembly gear: continuity testers, magnifiers, heat guns, and semi-auto crimp presses

• Experience working with wiring in industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, or medical devices
• Comfortable soldering very small-gauge wires (30 AWG and smaller) and working with tiny connectors
• Hands-on experience doing rework, repairs, or modifications based on customer or QA instructions
• Familiar with build-to-print environments, low-volume/high-mix production, or prototype builds

• Able to sit or stand at a workbench for long stretches of time
• Strong hand-eye coordination and good vision for detailed, precision work
• Comfortable lifting up to about 30 pounds on occasion
