What the role involves
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 build, finish, inspect, test, and improve wire harnesses and cable assemblies for customer jobs. A big part of the role is working with harnesses produced by our automated line - taking partially built harnesses, completing the manual steps, inspecting and electrically testing them, flagging defects, and helping engineering improve the automated build. This is real factory work: wires, connectors, terminals, hand tools, test equipment, drawings, and schedules. You don't need startup experience - you do need to care about precision, quality, speed, and doing the work the right way. Technicians here aren't button-pushers; the production team helps define how the factory works.
What you'll do
Complete manual assembly on partially built harnesses coming off our automated line, and build harnesses and cable assemblies from scratch
Inspect automated-line output for crimp quality, routing, labeling, connector assembly, pin placement, and strain relief
Cut, strip, crimp, terminate, route, label, and assemble wires; work with connectors, terminals, housings, seals, heat shrink, and cable management
Read and follow drawings, BOMs, pinout tables, schematics, and work instructions
Run continuity and other electrical verification on completed harnesses
Inspect crimps, terminations, connector assemblies, labels, routing, and finished harnesses
Troubleshoot basic build issues and escalate blockers to engineering or production leadership
Flag defects, recurring issues, or unclear process steps clearly
Support first-article builds and production runs; help improve the handoff between automated production, finishing, inspection, test, and shipment
Record job progress, test results, and build info accurately in our software systems
You are
Hands-on, detail-oriented, reliable, and precise under pressure
Serious about quality: every crimp, every label, every pin, every shipment
Someone who takes ownership and asks questions instead of guessing
A team player who makes the shift better for everyone around them
Low-ego and happy to do the unglamorous work that needs doing
Always looking for ways to make the process better
Minimum qualifications
High school diploma or equivalent
Experience with hands-on assembly, manufacturing, wiring, or related technical work
Able to follow detailed work instructions
Strong attention to detail
Able to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
Comfortable working full-time on-site in Austin, TX
Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (we're unable to sponsor visas for this role)
Nice to have
Wire harness, cable, or electrical assembly experience
Crimping, soldering, routing, strain relief, labeling, and continuity testing
Reading schematics, pinouts, drawings, BOMs, or work instructions
Familiarity with connector families such as Molex (Mini-Fit Jr, Micro-Fit), TE, Deutsch, Amphenol, JST, Hirose, D-Sub, circular, and sealed automotive
IPC/WHMA-A-620 familiarity or certification
Control-panel, automotive, aerospace/defense, robotics, or industrial-equipment wiring; electronics or contract manufacturing
First-article builds, rework, inspection, or production troubleshooting
Digital production, inventory, ERP, or quality systems
Skilled-trades or hands-on production background
What we care about
We care more about work quality than fanc
