• SHELLING CABLES: Follow instructions on the required number of cable assemblies to complete each day, measured by cable length.
• SHELLING CABLES: Connect wires to a circuit board once the housing is completed and route them correctly to string assemblies together.
• HOUSING CABLE ASSEMBLY: Insert crimped wires into small plastic housings at the ends of the wires, following provided examples and instructions.
• HOUSING CABLE ASSEMBLY: Perform repetitive tasks by placing small caps on the ends of wires to complete the housing assemblies.
• HOUSING CABLE ASSEMBLY: Follow work orders that specify the number of assemblies to complete each day.
• Conduct visual inspections of small parts and assemblies to ensure accuracy, quality, and adherence to standards.
• Use basic hand tools and small presses safely and effectively during assembly tasks.
