Job Description:

• Harness fabrication & rework

-Build custom wiring harnesses from drawings, schematics, and pinout tables (breakouts, trunk/branch looms, shielded/twisted pairs, coax/RF as applicable).
-Perform precision crimping, soldering, splicing (e.g., butt splice, solder sleeves), heat shrink/boot application, braiding/looming/lacing, strain relief, and cable management.
-Apply labels, heat shrink markers, and color codes; maintain consistent routing and bend radius practices.
-Execute continuity, insulation resistance, and (where specified) hipot tests; log and resolve defects.

• Load plate/build panel assembly
-Assemble load plates / I/O plates / patch panels to interface ECUs/UUTs with HIL benches (e.g., resistor networks, relays, fusing, terminal blocks, fault insertion interfaces, protection/conditioning circuits).
-Mount and wire DIN rail components, power distribution, and grounding; verify loads, ratings, and derating; ensure panel labeling and documentation.

• HIL bench support
-Modify existing harnesses and panels per ECOs/redlines, update pin maps and drawings, and verify changes on bench.
-Support benches bring up, signal checkout, and debug with engineers (CAN/LIN/Ethernet/analog/digital I/O, power rails, grounds, shielding).
-Maintain HIL bench uptime: tidy cable routing, quick turn rework, connector repairs, spare parts inventory.

• Documentation & quality
-Read/interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, connector datasheets, and harness drawings; generate/update BOMs, pin maps, and as built records.
-Follow IPC/WHMA A 620 workmanship and ESD practices; adhere to 5S and lab safety procedures.
-Track work via tickets/ECOs; record test results and traceability (part/lot numbers, crimp tool calibration, torque values).
• Lab operations
-Manage consumables and components (wire gauges/types, terminals, contacts, housings, back shells, heat shrink, fuses).
