The posting

About Loombotic

Loombotic is bringing wire-harness manufacturing back to America, and automating a job still done almost entirely by hand. Harnesses are the nervous system of every robot, vehicle, and machine, and they stay slow and expensive for one reason: nobody automated them, so the work shipped overseas. We build our own instant-quoting software and our own machines to make harnesses here, and ship a custom one in about a week instead of 6 to 12. Teams building robotics, aerospace, and advanced thermal and data-center hardware rely on us to get custom cables in days, not months.

The role

You'll be one of the most important hands-on people in the factory - building complex harnesses, supporting first-article builds, finishing and inspecting output from our automated line, training other technicians, troubleshooting build issues, and helping define the standards that make the factory fast, repeatable, and reliable. This is a hands-on senior role, not a desk job: you're the person others come to when something is unclear, incorrect, or not working. You'll work closely with engineering, production, and quality to turn drawings, BOMs, pinouts, and work instructions into shipped harnesses. Senior technicians here don't just build - they help build the production system.

What you'll do

  • Build intermediate-to-complex harnesses and cable assemblies, and complete manual assembly on partially built harnesses coming off our automated line
  • Inspect automated-line output for crimp quality, routing, labeling, connector assembly, pin placement, and strain relief
  • Perform cutting, stripping, crimping, terminating, routing, labeling, soldering, strain relief, connector assembly, and final assembly
  • Run continuity and other electrical verification on completed harnesses
  • Read and interpret drawings, BOMs, pinout tables, schematics, work instructions, and customer documentation
  • Support first-article builds, pilot runs, rework, and customer-critical jobs
  • Troubleshoot build, pinout, fitment, tooling, and recurring quality issues
  • Train and mentor junior technicians, and set the standard for crimp quality, labeling, routing, connector assembly, cleanliness, and documentation
  • Help define and improve work instructions, inspection standards, fixtures, tooling, and production flow
  • Identify defects and process gaps, and communicate them clearly to engineering, quality, and production leadership
  • Record job progress, test results, and rework notes accurately in our software systems

You are

  • A highly skilled, hands-on harness builder - precise, organized, and calm under pressure
  • Serious about quality: every crimp, every label, every pin, every shipment
  • Comfortable being the technical resource other technicians go to, and willing to train and raise the team's standard
  • A clear communicator who raises issues early
  • Low-ego and happy to do the unglamorous work that needs doing
  • Always looking for ways to make the process better

Minimum qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 3+ years in wire harness, cable, or electrical assembly; aerospace, automotive, or control-panel wiring; or a closely related hands-on technical field
  • Strong experience reading drawings, BOMs, pinout tables, schematics, and work instructions
  • Strong experience with crimping, terminating, routing, labeling, inspection, and electrical testing
  • Able to troubleshoot build issues and communicate problems clearly
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
  • Able to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs unassisted
  • Comfortable working full-time on-site in Austin, TX
  • Legally authorized to work in the U.S. (we're unable to sponsor visas for this role)

Nice to have

  • 5+ years in wire harness or cable assembly
  • IPC/WHMA-A-620 familiarity or certification
  • Experience training junior technicians or in floor leadership
  • First-article builds or new product introduction
  • Crimp validation, pull testing, continuity, hipot testing, or harness test fixtures
  • Familiarity with connector families such as Molex (Mini-Fit Jr, Micro-Fit), TE, Deutsch (DT/DTM/DTP), Amphenol, JST, Hirose, D-Sub, circular, and sealed automotive
  • Background in aerospace, defense, automotive/EV, robotics, industrial automation, or contract manufacturing
  • Experience creating or improving work instructions
  • Lean, ISO 9001, or AS9100 environments; ERP/inventory/quality systems

What we care about

We care more about work quality and ownership than fancy resumes. A great Senior Wire Harness Technician notices problems before they become production issues - the bad crimp, the wrong cavity, the swapped pin, the unclear drawing, the missing label, the poor routing, the process that won't scale - and raises the standard for everyone around them. This role is for someone who takes pride in clean, repeatable work and wants to help build a factory that gets better every week.

Compensation & benefits

  • $35-$43/hour DOE, overtime eligible
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Company-provided tools, PPE, and safety equipment
  • Training and certification support, including potential IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification
  • Clear growth path into Production Lead, Quality, Process Engineering, Operations, or Manufacturing Leadership
  • Clean, modern facility and hands-on work with automated harness production
  • Access to our engineering lab and tools for approved personal projects - we like people who build things

Apply with your resume and short answers to:

  1. What types of harnesses, cable assemblies, or electrical assemblies have you built, and what connectors, crimp tools, and test equipment have you used?
  2. What does a good crimp look like to you?
  3. Tell us about a time you found and fixed a recurring harness quality or build issue.
  4. Have you trained or mentored other technicians? What did that look like?

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
