Job Title: Cable Assembly Technician Job Description This role focuses on building cable assemblies from scratch within a fast-growing cable cell area that uses a batching method for production. You will work across multiple stations to cut, strip, crimp, and solder wires, contributing to the assembly of medical instruments in a clean, well-organized, and regulated manufacturing environment. The position offers thorough training across all stations so you can develop a broad skill set and avoid repetitive, single-task work.
Responsibilities Build cable assemblies from scratch using established work instructions, blueprints, and standard operating procedures. Work in a batching production method, performing cutting, stripping, crimping, or soldering on large batches of wires before passing them to the next station. Rotate between multiple stations, including wire cutting, stripping, crimping, and soldering (once certified), to support efficient workflow and production goals.
Perform mechanical assembly tasks as needed, using hand tools and torque wrenches to assemble components accurately. Carry out electronic assembly tasks, ensuring proper handling of components and adherence to quality standards. Use hand tools, torque wrenches, and other equipment safely and correctly to complete assembly work. Follow blueprints, travelers, documentation, and SOPs to ensure cables and assemblies meet specifications and quality requirements.
Use computers to access build plans, documentation, and production travelers, and to record work as required. Apply strong attention to detail to identify and correct issues in assemblies, wiring, and documentation. Perform cable harness work, including wire stripping, wire cutting, and cable crimping according to technical requirements. Conduct soldering work in accordance with IPC-610 and IPC-620 standards once appropriate certifications are obtained.
Maintain accurate documentation of work completed, following all regulatory and quality guidelines for medical instrument manufacturing. Adhere to all safety, ESD, and regulatory requirements in the production environment. Participate in the new training program, using provided training materials and binder to learn processes and standards. Receive and apply in-the-moment feedback from leadership to continuously improve performance and quality.
Essential Skills Experience working with cables and wires, including cutting, stripping, crimping, and assembly. Hands-on experience with soldering or a strong interest in learning soldering techniques. Ability to read and follow blueprints, travelers, documentation, and standard operating procedures. Comfort using hand tools and torque wrenches for mechanical and electronic assembly work. Strong attention to detail to ensure accurate wiring, assembly, and documentation.
Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, batching-style production environment. Basic computer skills to access build plans, documentation, and production records. Willingness to rotate between different stations and tasks rather than staying at a single station long term. Ability to follow regulated work practices associated with building medical instruments. Reliability to work a Monday–Friday second shift (3:30 p.m.
to 12:00 a.m.) consistently. Additional Skills & Qualifications IPC-610 and IPC-620 soldering certifications are preferred but not required; certification can be obtained through the employer. Prior experience in medical assembly or medical device manufacturing is a plus. Experience with cable harness assembly, wire stripping, wire cutting, and cable crimping is beneficial. Familiarity with documentation practices and travelers in a manufacturing environment.
Comfort working in a regulated environment that supports medical instrument production. Openness to comprehensive, binder-based training programs and ongoing feedback from leadership. Why Work Here? You will join a laid-back, supportive environment that combines fast-paced,
