Senior Wire Harness Technician

Loombotic • Austin, TX

4d • Onsite

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent
• 3+ years in wire harness, cable, or electrical assembly; aerospace, automotive, or control-panel wiring; or a closely related hands-on technical field
• Strong experience reading drawings, BOMs, pinout tables, schematics, and work instructions
• Strong experience with crimping, terminating, routing, labeling, inspection, and electrical testing
• Able to troubleshoot build issues and communicate problems clearly
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
• 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 Haves

• 5+ years in wire harness or cable assembly
• IPC/WHMA-A-620 familiarity or certification
• Experience training junior technicians or in floor leadership
• First-article builds or new product introduction
• Crimp validation, pull testing, continuity, hipot testing, or harness test fixtures
• Familiarity with connector families such as Molex (Mini-Fit Jr, Micro-Fit), TE, Deutsch (DT/DTM/DTP), Amphenol, JST, Hirose, D-Sub, circular, and sealed automotive
• Background in aerospace, defense, automotive/EV, robotics, industrial automation, or contract manufacturing
• Experience creating or improving work instructions
• Lean, ISO 9001, or AS9100 environments; ERP/inventory/quality systems

Responsibilities

• 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

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Company-provided tools, PPE, and safety equipment
• Training and certification support, including potential IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification
• Clear growth path into Production Lead, Quality, Process Engineering, Operations, or Manufacturing Leadership
• Clean, modern facility and hands-on work with automated harness production
• Access to our engineering lab and tools for approved personal projects - we like people who build things
