We are looking for a Harness Integration Technician – Quick-Turn. In summary, you will own same-day/next-day cable and harness builds that keep critical prototype schedules on track without impacting planned production work.
Responsibilities:
- Rapidly build custom cables and harnesses (cut, strip, crimp, solder, braid/sleeve, heat-shrink, basic potting, final terminations) from drawings/BOMs/work orders.
- Turn around urgent requests in hours or days while maintaining quality; coordinate closely with engineering for last-minute tweaks.
- Crimp and verify terminals/contacts (TE/AMP, Molex, JST, Amphenol/LEMO, etc.) using specified tooling; perform and log pull tests when required.
- Print/apply labels and heat-shrink markers; ensure traceability in ERP or router system.
- Perform continuity and insulation/hipot tests; troubleshoot with DMMs and cable testers.
- Execute rework/modifications to spec (IPC/WHMA-A-620) and support NCMR/MRB containment.
- Maintain 5S/ESD, keep the quick-turn bench stocked, and suggest process improvements to reduce cycle time.
Requirements:
- 2+ years building wire harnesses/cable assemblies in a prototype or low-volume manufacturing environment.
- Proven ability to deliver high-quality cables on tight deadlines with minimal supervision.
- Strong crimping and soldering skills (selective tinning, shields/drain wires, coax/twisted pair).
- Hands-on with strippers, gauges, pull testers, manual/pneumatic crimpers, soldering stations, and heat guns.
- Working knowledge of IPC/WHMA-A-620 (Class 2/3) and familiarity with J-STD-001.
- Comfortable reading prints, schematics, BOMs, work orders, and ECOs; disciplined about documentation and traceability.
Bonus Qualifications:
- Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 certification.
- Experience running cable testers (e.g., Cirris) and integrating simple test fixtures.
- Familiarity with robotics prototypes or other electromechanical systems.
- ERP data entry (part traceability, router sign-offs) and SOP authorship.
- Bilingual English/Spanish.
