What you'll do:
- Assemble cable harnesses and interconnects from drawings, work instructions, and BOMs — cut, strip, crimp, solder, terminate, lace, heat-shrink, and dress to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and company process.
- Build and rework complex circuit card assemblies (CCA/PCBA) including through-hole and SMT soldering, component installation, conformal coating touch-up, and board-level rework.
- Assemble and integrate electro-mechanical units: chassis, LRUs, backshells, connectors (including D38999 / Glenair-style circulars and Micro-D), panels, and ruggedized enclosures.
- Read and follow schematics, wiring diagrams, assembly drawings, and travelers; kit parts and maintain configuration control.
- Perform continuity, and basic functional verification with multimeters and production test equipment.
- Document as-built work, nonconformances, and first-article notes; support MRB and engineering change incorporation.
- Work with production, quality, and engineering to resolve build issues and improve process, yield, and work instructions.
- Maintain ESD, FOD, and tool-control in a mixed prototype-to-production environment.
- Mentor and support junior technicians on shift.
- Identify and help remove blockers so work does not stall.
Requirements
We are looking for:
- Hands-on experience assembling cable harnesses and/or circuit card assemblies in a defense, aerospace, or other regulated electronics environment.
- Ability to interpret wiring diagrams, harness drawings, schematics, and assembly instructions.
- Proficiency with hand tools, crimp tools, soldering irons, heat guns, torque tools, and basic electrical test equipment (DMM, continuity testers).
- Strong attention to detail, quality mindset, and comfort working to written process and inspection criteria.
- Ability to work independently as a nimble self-starter and as part of a small production team.
- U.S. Citizenship (required)
Nice to have:
- 5-7 Years experience.
- IPC/WHMA-A-620, IPC-A-610, and/or J-STD-001 certification (or willingness to certify)
- Experience with connectors, coax, and shielded/multi-conductor harnesses.
- CCA build/rework experience including SMT, through-hole, and conformal coating
- Electro-mechanical box-build / LRU integration experience
- Familiarity with AS9100, ESD control, FOD prevention, and traveler/MES documentation
- Experience supporting prototype / NPI builds as well as production-rate work
- Military or veteran manufacturing / avionics background
