Electrical Assembly Technician

Technical Responsibilities

• Fabricate aviation wire harnesses and cable assemblies, including:
• Measuring, cutting, stripping, marking, labeling, and bundling wires
• Application of sleeving, braid, heatshrink, strain relief, and chafe protection
• Termination using crimp contacts and solder sleeves/splices as specified
• Assemble and terminate connectors, including:
• MIL‑DTL‑38999 (D38999) or equivalent circular connectors
• Proper keying, orientation, contact seating, retention verification, and backshell/strain‑relief installation
• Perform avionics‑related electrical assembly tasks such as:
• Chassis, panel, and enclosure wiring
• Connectorized subassemblies and discrete I/O harnessing
• Execute in‑process and final inspections:
• Continuity and pinout verification
• Visual inspection for workmanship, bend radius, strain relief, and abrasion control
• Complete build documentation accurately:
• Travelers, serial/lot traceability, and approved redlines per process
• Support troubleshooting and controlled rework/repair activities as directed
• Provide written reports on tests, modification, rework, and non-conformances
• Maintain disciplined use of tools and test equipment in accordance with calibration and quality requirements
• Assist with documentation related to assembly, testing, and modifications for future revisions or documented history.

Required Qualifications

• Hands‑on experience with circular multi‑pin connectors, specifically MIL‑DTL‑38999 (D38999) or equivalent, including contact insertion/extraction and backshell assembly
• Proven ability to interpret and build to:
• Wiring diagrams, schematics, and interconnect drawings
• Harness build sheets and pinout tables
• Work instructions, travelers, and specification callouts
• Experience performing both crimped terminations and solder sleeve/splice operations in accordance with workmanship requirements
• Proficiency using calibrated crimp tools and soldering equipment (tool‑agnostic)
• Experience conducting continuity, short/isolation, and pin‑to‑pin verification, with basic troubleshooting capability
• Familiarity with ESD controls, configuration‑controlled builds, and disciplined documentation practices
• Ability to work independently on assigned builds and escalate issues clearly and early
• Must be a US Citizen with the ability to obtain a US Government security clearance

Preferred / Highly Desired Qualifications

• IPC/WHMA‑A‑620 certification or demonstrated experience
