About the Role: Our client builds test equipment for the aerospace industry, and is hiring two Electrical Assemblers to build the cables, wire harnesses, test fixtures, and sub-assemblies that equipment runs on. You’ll work from engineering documentation, assembly drawings, and work instructions, alongside experienced technicians and a team lead who are there to answer questions. On-the-job training is provided. This is bench and floor work in a manufacturing environment, not a desk job. Expect to be on your feet for a meaningful part of the day, lifting up to 50 lbs, and moving between harness build, cabling components into a test rack, and setting up test equipment as the day’s priorities change. If you want to be handed one task and left alone with it for a month, this isn’t that seat — demands here shift often and the team adjusts together. You don’t need to arrive IPC-A-620 certified, but you do need to have built harnesses and cable assemblies before and be able to read an engineering drawing without someone walking you through it. Work is built to IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 2 standards. Because the equipment supports aerospace programs, this role is ITAR-restricted — applicants must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. A Typical DayPick up the day’s build packet with the team lead, pull materials, and work through cable and harness assemblies against the drawing — cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, and dressing to Class 2. From there you might cable up components inside a test rack, assemble a test fixture, or set up test equipment to verify what you built. The shift ends with your bench and tooling squared away.
