Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a motivated Technical Specialist with hands-on wire harness fabrication skills to join our agile team. The ideal candidate will play a key role in our design services business, building high-quality prototypes and providing manufacturability feedback while working closely with design engineers and project managers to bring designs from concept to production-ready builds.

This is an on-site opportunity based at the Re:Build AppliedLogix development center in Rochester, NY.

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• Fabricate initial prototype wire harnesses from engineering drawings and specifications, ensuring build quality throughout.
• Lead component inventory, including ordering, receiving, and verifying parts against purchase orders.
• Create and maintain travelers to track harness serial numbers and document QC checks for each harness built.
• Provide design-for-manufacturing (DFM) feedback to design engineers to improve build efficiency, repeatability, and cost.
• Run the Cadonix Arcadia part database and team access/user permissions, including part creation and quality control of part data.
• Maintain and organize the assembly area layout, tools, and calibration records to optimize workflow efficiency and safety.
• Collaborate closely during the prototype and build phases, supporting process improvement initiatives and maintaining clear documentation.

What you will bring to the team

• BS degree in Electrical Engineering Technology with 0–2 years of experience is required. Internship experience counts. Alternatively, candidates with an Electrical Technician background and 0–5 years of relevant hands-on experience are also eligible. This includes those with an Associate's degree or equivalent experience, technical certification, or equivalent trade training.
• Strong understanding of wire routing, crimping, soldering, and harness assembly techniques, with familiarity with hand tools and test/calibration equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, and bills of materials (BOM); awareness of industry standards (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620) is a plus.
• Familiarity with Cadonix Arcadia software (or willingness to be trained), including part database management, user administration, and traveler/serial number tracking.
• Self-starter with a strong sense of urgency and a "get it done" attitude, able to work optimally with minimal guidance.
• Comfortable handling a high degree of engineering change in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing/prototyping environment.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, with the ability to collaborate closely with engineers and project managers and run inventory/ordering tasks accurately.
• Willing to travel up to 15% of the time to support prototype harness integration into client systems.
