Our systems fuse software, hardware, robotics, and mission-critical infrastructure into ruggedized, safety-critical machinery operating on jobsites across the world. We replace decades of manual, error-prone, high-risk work with intelligent machines that reshape how earthmoving is done. Build, fabricate, and inspect high-reliability wire harness and cable assemblies for autonomous programs. Work from engineering drawings and controlled documentation to deliver harnesses that meet spec the first time. A successful entry-level Wire Harness Technician independently builds and inspects harnesses to drawing and IPC/WHMA-A-620 spec with minimal rework, flags ambiguous drawings or missing documentation rather than guessing, and can be trusted to sign off their own work — but escalates any spec conflict, safety concern, or non-standard fix to an engineer or lead rather than deciding it themselves. ### **Responsibilities** - Cut, strip, crimp, solder, and terminate wire and cable per engineering drawings, wiring diagrams, and work instructions. - Build wire harness and electro-mechanical assemblies to IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards. - Read and interpret cable harness drawings, layout drawings, mechanical drawings, schematics, and GD&T. - Install connectors, terminals, heat-shrink tubing, cable ties, labels, and protective sleeves. - Perform continuity, insulation resistance, and functional electrical checkouts using digital multimeters and custom test setups. - Inspect completed harnesses for correct pinout, mechanical durability, and workmanship; flag and document non-conformances. - Perform basic rework and repair — de-pin/re-pin terminals, splice corrections — on returned or in-process assemblies. - Collaborate with production and manufacturing engineers to document and improve build processes. - Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-focused work area; follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements. ### **Requirements** - High school diploma or equivalent. - 1-5 years of experience using mechanical and/or electronic hand tools. - Ability to read and follow wiring diagrams, schematics, and assembly drawings. ### **Preferred Skills and Experience** - Experience fabricating or inspecting wire harness and cable assemblies. - Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards (certification a plus). - Experience in aerospace, defense, heavy equipment, automotive or another high-reliability manufacturing environment. - Experience with Altium. - Comfort working in a fast-paced, low-volume/high-mix production environment with shifting priorities. ### **Physical Requirements** - Ability to work at a bench or on a vehicle for extended periods. - Ability to lift up to 20 lbs as needed. - Good vision and hand-eye coordination for detailed wiring work ### **Hard skills** 1. Crimping, soldering, and connector termination to a recognized workmanship standard (IPC/WHMA-A-620 or equivalent). 2. Reading and working directly from wiring diagrams, schematics, and mechanical/GD&T drawings without hand-holding. 3. Using a digital multimeter and basic test setups to verify continuity, resistance, and functional pass/fail. 4. Diagnosing and correcting a wiring defect (not just reporting it) — re-termination, splice repair, de-pin/re-pin. ### **AIM-specific attributes** 1. **Comfort with ambiguity** — AIM's build documentation and BOMs change often as harnesses go through revisions; the technician has to build correctly today and adapt tomorrow without a finished, static work instruction. 2. **Safety-first mindset** — works around live electrical systems and heavy equipment; stops and flags rather than pushing through an unsafe condition to hit a deadline. 3. **Ownership of outcomes** — treats a harness with their name on it as their responsibility through inspection and test, not just through assembly. 4. **Low-volume/high-mix tolerance** — comfortable switching between harness types and revisions within a shift rather than expecting long, repetitive runs. **Compensation** - $40,000-$75,000 base salary ## Other open roles at AIM Intelligent Machines - [Senior Software Engineer - UI](https://zerogtalent.com/robotics-jobs/aim-intelligent-machines/senior-software-engineer-ui-b72884a0-0bd5-4e7c-8998-4b925e412bfd) — Seattle - [Embedded Software Engineer - Verification](https://zerogtalent.com/robotics-jobs/aim-intelligent-machines/embedded-software-engineer-verification-9d21e0a9-874e-4f48-97c4-007827d1689f) — Seattle - [Senior Firmware Engineer](https://zerogtalent.com/robotics-jobs/aim-intelligent-machines/senior-firmware-engineer-4ad01429-6b3a-48a0-a352-fb73ebdd5072) — Seattle - [Embedded Software Engineer - Safety](https://zerogtalent.com/robotics-jobs/aim-intelligent-machines/embedded-software-engineer-safety-81c94e25-2343-4042-935a-6b55fe2558f0) — Seattle - [Principal Perception Hardware Engineer](https://zerogtalent.com/robotics-jobs/aim-intelligent-machines/principal-perception-hardware-engineer-bda5c911-320b-4120-bc8b-fb60da3b73eb) — Seattle --- *Source: [Zero G Talent](https://zerogtalent.com), the job board for space, defense, AI, robotics and frontier-tech companies.*
