• You will collaborate closely with electrical engineers to refine harness designs from prototype through production.
• You will uphold and help define workmanship standards for harness fabrication across the organization.

• Fabricate wire harnesses and cable assemblies from engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and verbal instructions.
• Perform crimping, soldering, splicing, and connector termination on a variety of wire gauges and connector types.
• Install and route harnesses and cable assemblies in hardware enclosures and system builds.
• Conduct continuity, hi-pot, and functional electrical testing on completed assemblies.
• Identify and communicate design or workmanship issues to engineering and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain organized work areas and accurate documentation for all assemblies built.
• Support prototype builds and production ramp, adapting quickly as designs evolve.

• 2+ years of experience fabricating wire harnesses or cable assemblies in an aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics environment.
• Proficiency with crimping tools, soldering irons, and associated hand tools; ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams and schematics.
