Senior Wire Harness Technician

About Loombotic

Loombotic is bringing wire-harness manufacturing back to America, and automating a job still done almost entirely by hand. Harnesses are the nervous system of every robot, vehicle, and machine, and they stay slow and expensive for one reason: nobody automated them, so the work shipped overseas. We build our own instant-quoting software and our own machines to make harnesses here, and ship a custom one in about a week instead of 6 to 12. Teams building robotics, aerospace, and advanced thermal and data-center hardware rely on us to get custom cables in days, not months.

The role

You'll be one of the most important hands-on people in the factory - building complex harnesses, supporting first-article builds, finishing and inspecting output from our automated line, training other technicians, troubleshooting build issues, and helping define the standards that make the factory fast, repeatable, and reliable. This is a hands-on senior role, not a desk job: you're the person others come to when something is unclear, incorrect, or not working. You'll work closely with engineering, production, and quality to turn drawings, BOMs, pinouts, and work instructions into shipped harnesses. Senior technicians here don't just build - they help build the production system.

What you'll do

Build intermediate-to-complex harnesses and cable assemblies, and complete manual assembly on partially built harnesses coming off our automated line

Inspect automated-line output for crimp quality, routing, labeling, connector assembly, pin placement, and strain relief

Perform cutting, stripping, crimping, terminating, routing, labeling, soldering, strain relief, connector assembly, and final assembly

Run continuity and other electrical verification on completed harnesses

Read and interpret drawings, BOMs, pinout tables, schematics, work instructions, and customer documentation

Support first-article builds, pilot runs, rework, and customer-critical jobs

Troubleshoot build, pinout, fitment, tooling, and recurring quality issues

Train and mentor junior technicians, and set the standard for crimp quality, labeling, routing, connector assembly, cleanliness, and documentation

Help define and improve work instructions, inspection standards, fixtures, tooling, and production flow

Identify defects and process gaps, and communicate them clearly to engineering, quality, and production leadership

Record job progress, test results, and rework notes accurately in our software systems
