Harness Integration Technician

Job description

Job responsibilities

• 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.

Job 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.
• Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 or J-STD-001 certifications.
