Job Title: Production Technician Job Description

This role focuses on hands-on wiring harness assembly in a low-volume, specialty production environment. You will build small batches of custom harness configurations and contribute quickly with minimal ramp-up time. The position offers a structured advancement path and opportunities to grow into more complex technical roles over time.

• Assemble wiring harnesses for low-volume, specialty production, typically building 12 dozen units of each configuration.
• Interpret and follow work instructions, diagrams, and build documentation to ensure accurate harness assembly.
• Perform precise wiring, routing, and termination of cables and harness components to meet quality and workmanship standards.
• Inspect completed harnesses for proper configuration, continuity, and workmanship, and correct any identified issues.
• Use hand tools and basic production equipment safely and effectively during assembly tasks.
• Collaborate with other technicians and production team members to meet build schedules and delivery timelines.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow established production processes and procedures.
• Support mechanical assembly tasks as needed, contributing to broader production activities when wiring workload allows.
• Adhere to safety protocols and quality standards, particularly in support of safety-sensitive programs.

• Hands-on wiring harness assembly experience with the ability to contribute quickly and with minimal training.
• Working knowledge of harness assembly processes, including routing, bundling, termination, and inspection.
• Ability to work efficiently in a low-volume, specialty production environment with small batch sizes.
• Comfort using basic hand tools and production equipment in an assembly setting.
• Capability to follow detailed instructions and documentation accurately.
• Readiness to work in support of safety-sensitive programs, including those related to defense and regulated environments.

• IPC certification, highly preferred due to the quality and workmanship standards required.
• Experience in aerospace, defense, military, or FAA-regulated environments.
• Mechanical assembly experience in a production environment.
• Electronics education, military background, or strong technical foundation that can support future growth into testing or hybrid production-engineering roles.
• Interest in long-term career development, including progression through Technician IV levels.

You join a team that invests in your growth and offers a clear, structured advancement path through multiple technician levels. High performers have the opportunity to convert from contract to full-time employment and may be hired directly before the end of the contract term. Depending on performance and technical aptitude, you can explore future paths into test-focused roles or hybrid positions that bridge production and engineering, supporting troubleshooting, testing, and product development. The environment rewards technical curiosity, reliability, and a desire to expand your skills over time.

This is a production-focused environment centered on wiring harness assembly for low-volume, specialty products. You will typically build small batches of harness configurations, working at benches or workstations with standard hand tools and basic assembly equipment. The work requires attention to detail, consistent adherence to quality standards, and comfort working in support of safety-sensitive programs. Hours and shifts follow a structured production schedule, and you will collaborate closely with other technicians and technical staff in a shop or lab setting.
