Application Technician – Wire Harness Manufacturing

Description

The Application Technician will support engineering and production teams in the development, assembly, testing, and validation of wire harnesses used in manufacturing applications. This role is responsible for interpreting customer requirements, preparing documentation, supporting prototype builds, and ensuring manufacturability and quality of wire harness products. The Application Technician will act as a bridge between design, production, and quality to ensure robust, efficient, and cost-effective wire harness manufacturing.

• Conduct functional and continuity testing on wire harnesses to ensure quality and compliance.
• Collaborate with engineering, production, and quality teams to ensure design-for-manufacturability (DFM) principles are applied.
• Support tooling, fixtures, and application setup required for harness assembly and validation.
• Interpret engineering drawings, wiring schematics, and assembly documentation to support harness build and troubleshooting.
• Assist with documentation preparation, including work instructions, bill of materials (BOM), and assembly guides.
• Perform hands-on assembly, crimping, soldering, and termination for prototype and production harnesses.
• Provide technical support for process improvements, new product introductions, and customer-specific applications.
• Assist in the development, prototyping, and testing of wire harness assemblies in alignment with customer specifications and industry standards.
• Reduced assembly errors and rework through clear documentation and application support.
• Identify and troubleshoot process issues or design concerns, providing feedback to engineering.
• Accurate and timely support of prototype and production harness builds.
• Maintain knowledge of industry standards (IPC/WHMA-A-620, UL, SAE, ISO) and apply them to daily work.

Requirements

• Associate’s degree in Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology, or related field; Bachelor’s preferred.
