Loombotic Scales Automated Wire Harness Manufacturing with New Austin Engineering Roles

Loombotic is building automated production systems to manufacture wire harnesses in as little as seven days. Founded in 2024 out of Y Combinator's F24 batch, the 11-person company operates out of Toronto, Canada, while expanding its physical manufacturing footprint in Austin, Texas. Wire harnesses—intricate networks of cables, tape, and sleeving that route power and signals through aircraft, electric vehicles, medical devices, and consumer electronics—have traditionally relied on manual assembly due to the flexible, non-rigid nature of wire components. Loombotic is taking on this bottleneck by deploying automated assembly lines that combine custom hardware, computer vision, and machine control.

The company is led by co-founders Ethan Breit, who serves as CTO, and Lucas Crupi, who serves as CEO. Together, they are designing both the robotic manipulation systems and the factory architecture needed to move wire harness production from months-long turnarounds to single-week turnarounds.

Building Automated Factory Lines in Austin

To support its production scale-up, Loombotic is building out engineering operations inside a 20,000-square-foot factory facility in Austin. The team is currently hiring across core hardware and robotics roles to transition its automated lines from single deployments to high-volume output targeting hundreds of thousands of harnesses per month.

On the hardware side, the company is recruiting an entry-level Mechatronics Engineer ($90,000 - $150,000 USD, onsite in Austin, TX). This role focuses on scaling the deployment speed of automated manufacturing lines by tenfold. The work involves machine design, PCB design, and controls programming specifically tailored to manipulate flexible items such as wire, tape, and sleeving using toolstacks including Onshape, KiCAD, and AI agents throughout the design stack.

To control the automated machinery, Loombotic is also hiring an entry-level Robotics Engineer ($100,000 - $160,000 USD, onsite in Austin, TX). The position focuses on robot and end-effector programming, machine vision, and manipulation to ensure precise handling of delicate components. The role owns the software stack connecting perception to action across camera calibration, visual localization, motion control, end-effector actuation, and automated verification.
