Sr. Wiring Harness Quality Technician (Contract)

Responsibilities

• Assembly & Integration: Build, install, and repair complex LV and HV harnesses according to detailed technical drawings & schematics.
• Quality Auditing: Perform 100% visual and mechanical inspections on in-house builds, focusing on routing, labeling, tie-wrap tension, and overall workmanship.
• Verification & Testing: Conduct crimp height analysis, pull-tests, and terminal seating audits to ensure electrical and mechanical integrity.
• Precision Measurement: Use calipers & tape measures to verify harness lengths and breakout points against engineering specifications.
• Documentation: Maintain rigorous audit logs and "redline" engineering drawings when discrepancies or design improvements are identified.
• Precision Soldering: Utilize microscopes to solder components onto PCBAs and perform wire-to-board terminations.
• Continuous Improvement: Partner with the engineering and production teams to perform root-cause analysis on defects and suggest process optimizations.
• Lab Stewardship: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment (5S).

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years of experience building complex wire harnesses from scratch.
• Technical Proficiency: Mastery of industry-standard crimping, terminating, splicing, and shielding techniques.
• PCBA Skills: Proven experience soldering components onto PCBAs under a microscope.
• Schematic Literacy: Advanced ability to interpret complex wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, and mechanical assembly drawings.
• Adaptability: Ability to multi-task and pivot quickly in a fast-paced prototype environment.
• Education: High school diploma or equivalent; technical trade school certification is a plus.
