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 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.

Requirements

• 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 Haves

• 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

Responsibilities

• 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

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: Senior Wire Harness Technician → Production Lead, Quality, Process Engineering, or Operations
• 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
