Electrical Harness Technician

About the role

Shift: Day Shift, Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Your Charter

Our mission is to create an abundant supply of physical labor through safe, intelligent humanoids that work alongside people. As a Harness Technician, your charter is to be the reliable hands-on tech who upholds a fast and high-quality assembly process. You're someone we can trust to run the show on rework rollout and keep production alive when a last-minute fix is needed and we can't afford to pause. You're crafty with tools, mechanically strong, sharp enough to figure things out on your own, eager to learn, and a great communicator.

Key Outcomes

• Deliver wire harnesses and cable assemblies that consistently meet IPC-620 acceptance criteria, with first-pass yield held to a high, measurable standard.
• Own continuity and fault-isolation testing on completed harnesses so that defects are caught and resolved before assemblies move downstream.
• Support a mix of work that changes day to day - most often building harnesses for prototype testing, and at times assembly and rework for production - and shift gears smoothly between the two.
• Perform on-bot reworks and on-bot debugging with confidence, isolating and resolving issues directly on the robot.
• Reduce build and rework time on recurring harness builds by improving process, fixturing, and documentation alongside engineering.
• Maintain accurate, traceable records of work performed, surfacing design and process issues early enough to influence design-for-manufacturability decisions.
• Work independently with minimal hand-holding, taking verbal direction well and running with it to keep the workspace safe, organized, and audit-ready.

Key Competencies

• Craftsmanship: you treat error-free, repeatable work as the baseline and take genuine pride in the quality of what you build.
• Hands-on technical fluency: you read schematics and assembly drawings effortlessly and translate them into clean, reliable physical builds.
• Diagnostic instinct: you isolate opens, shorts, and connection faults quickly and methodically rather than by trial and error.
• Ownership: you finish what you start, flag problems early, and hold yourself to a standard before anyone has to ask.
• Collaboration: you partner naturally with engineers on prototypes, reworks, and improving how things get built.

Minimum Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent, with 2-3+ years of direct experience in wire harness fabrication and assembly.
• Proven ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly drawings.
• Proficiency with hand tools (crimpers, strippers, heat guns) and measurement tools (multimeter).
• IPC-620 certification.
• Strong soldering skills and solid troubleshooting ability to diagnose open/short circuits and connection issues (J-STD-001 is ideal but not a deal breaker).

Preferred Skills

• Associate’s degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Electronics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Understanding of basic electrical principles (voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s Law) and familiarity with components (resistors, capacitors, diodes) and their schematic symbols.
• Awareness of signal types (digital, analog, power) and shielding/grounding concepts.
• Experience with harness board (breakout board) design or layout, and basic CAD for viewing drawings.
• Familiarity with IPC-7711 / 7722 rework standards.

What Does a Successful 1X Team Member Look Like

• Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders.
• They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is.
• They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask.
• We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
