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.

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

Requirements

• Associate’s degree in Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology, or related field; Bachelor’s preferred.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, electrical schematics, and technical documentation.
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and basic CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks Electrical, or equivalent).
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional teams.
• Familiarity with industry standards (IPC/WHMA-A-620 preferred).
• Hands-on experience with crimping, soldering, terminating, and harness assembly tools.
• 2–5 years of experience in wire harness manufacturing, applications, or related technical role.
• Improved manufacturability and efficiency of harness designs.
• Compliance with industry standards and customer requirements.
• Positive collaboration with engineering, production, and quality teams to enable smooth project execution.
