PCB Assembly & Wire Harness Technician

Job Description

Step into the build bench: a day in this role

You start with a bare PCB and finish with a robust, tested assembly. In the morning, you’ll review configuration sheets and schematics, set up your ESD-safe workstation, and load up for SMT and through hole work. By midday, you’re reworking fine-pitch components, hand soldering to IPC standards, and integrating custom cable sets directly onto boards. In the afternoon, you’re inspecting every joint, flagging any documentation mismatches to engineering, and pitching in on light electro mechanical assembly when needed.What you’ll do

Turn bare boards into complete PCAs using both SMT and through hole techniques

Modify and rework PCBs by adding, removing, or replacing components

Perform precise hand soldering to IPC workmanship standards

Build cable assemblies: cut, strip, twist, tin, crimp, and terminate connectors

Solder wire and cable assemblies directly to PCBs

Read and interpret schematics, PCB drawings, wiring diagrams, and configuration sheets

Inspect solder joints and assemblies to verify quality and reliability

Follow ESD controls, cleanliness practices, and documentation procedures

Escalate documentation discrepancies to engineering for resolution

Assist with basic electro mechanical assembly as neededWhat you bring
