The Electrical Assembly Technician is responsible for assembling, testing, and inspecting custom wire harnesses, cable assemblies, electrical boxes/panels, and electromechanical components according to engineering drawings, work instructions, and customer specifications. This role also performs SMT and through-hole printed circuit board (PCB) assembly and rework. This role requires attention to detail, manual dexterity, and the ability to maintain high-quality standards in a manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

Wire Harness, Cable & Panel Assembly

• Assemble custom wire harnesses, cable assemblies, electrical boxes/panels, and electrical subassemblies according to blueprints, schematics, and work instructions.

• Cut, strip, crimp, solder, and terminate wires and cables using appropriate tools and equipment.

• Install connectors, terminals, heat shrink tubing, labels, and protective sleeving as required.

• Troubleshoot and repair wiring and assembly issues using electrical schematics.

SMT & Through-Hole PCB Assembly

• Perform surface-mount (SMT) and through-hole placement, hand soldering, and touch-up on printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs).

• Operate or support pick-and-place, reflow oven, wave solder, and/or selective solder equipment as applicable.

• Perform PCB rework, rework of misplaced/defective components, and post-solder cleanup per IPC-A-610 workmanship standards.

• Read and interpret PCB assembly drawings, silkscreens, pick-and-place files, and bills of materials (BOMs).

• Inspect PCBAs for solder quality, component placement, and defects, using visual inspection and/or AOI equipment.

Quality, Testing & General

• Perform continuity, insulation resistance, and functional testing of completed assemblies.

• Inspect finished products to ensure compliance with customer specifications and quality standards.

• Read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials (BOMs), and assembly drawings.

• Monitor inventory of the assembly area; review pick lists for discrepancies and support work order completion.

• Maintain accurate production and quality records.

• Identify and report defective materials, equipment issues, or process discrepancies.

• Follow IPC, IPC/WHMA-A-620, IPC-A-610, ISO, and company quality standards and procedures.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area (5S and strong housekeeping practices).

• Assist with process improvements to increase efficiency and product quality.

• Collaborate with engineering, quality, and production teams to resolve assembly issues.

Qualifications

Required

• High school diploma or equivalent.

• 2+ years of experience in electrical assembly, wire harness manufacturing, cable assembly, or related production work.

• Experience with SMT and/or through-hole PCB assembly and hand soldering.
