Job Description

Job Summary

The Wire Harness Assembly Worker is responsible for the hands-on fabrication, assembly, and inspection of custom wire harnesses and cable assemblies built to exact customer specifications and regulatory standards. This role operates within a quality-first manufacturing environment where precision, repeatability, and compliance with AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 requirements are non-negotiable. The ideal candidate takes personal ownership of workmanship quality, follows documented work instructions without deviation, and contributes to a culture of continuous improvement.

General Accountabilities

Assemble wire harnesses and cable assemblies from engineering drawings, bills of materials, and written work instructions, ensuring all dimensions, routing, and termination points match specifications exactly.
Perform wire cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, and connector insertion using both hand tools and automated, high-speed cutting, stripping, and crimping equipment to improve process repeatability and overall product quality.
Conduct in-process and final visual inspections of completed assemblies, applying IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards to identify and disposition any nonconforming product.
Complete all required traveler documentation, work order records, and quality inspection forms accurately and in compliance with AS9100D traceability requirements.
Identify and promptly report defects, out-of-tolerance conditions, or process anomalies to the production lead or quality team.
Maintain a clean, organized, and ESD-safe workstation consistent with 5S and RoHS compliance expectations.
Participate in cross-training on adjacent assembly processes including overmolded cables and basic electromechanical assemblies.
Support continuous improvement initiatives by surfacing process inefficiencies and suggesting corrective actions.
Handle all materials, connectors, and finished assemblies with care to prevent damage or contamination, particularly for aerospace and medical applications with zero-defect expectations.

Job Qualifications

High school diploma or GED preferred.
Minimum 1 year of hands-on wire harness, cable assembly, or related electromechanical assembly experience preferred. Entry-level candidates with demonstrated mechanical aptitude will be considered.
IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification (any class) is a plus and may be required within 90 days of hire.
Demonstrated ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and assembly drawings.
Experience working in an AS9100D, ISO 9001, or similar quality management system environment is strongly preferred.
Must be eligible to work in the United States. Some customer programs may require U.S. citizenship or the ability to pass a government background check given the company's aerospace and military customer base.
Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 30 lbs, and perform fine motor tasks with sustained accuracy throughout a full shift.
Reliable attendance and a consistent track record of meeting production commitments.

Skills

Proficiency with hand tools used in wire harness assembly: crimpers, wire strippers, heat guns, torque drivers, and continuity testers.
Working knowledge of connector types commonly used in aerospace and industrial applications (e.g., Deutsch, Molex, Amphenol, and D-sub series).
Ability to perform quality soldering to J-STD-001 standards is a plus.
Strong attention to detail with the ability to detect dimensional and cosmetic nonconformances at the individual wire and termination level.
Basic reading comprehension sufficient to follow detailed written work instructions, safety procedures, and quality checklists.
Familiarity with ESD (electrostatic discharge) handling practices and RoHS-compliant material awareness.
Self-motivated with the ability to manage personal production pace to meet daily output targets.
Team-oriented communication skills: able to clearly flag problems, ask clarifying questions, and support coworkers in a small-team production environment.
Basic computer skills for electronic work order entry or quality record completion are a plus.
