Job summary

Lancesoft is seeking an Electrical Engineering Technician in Hayward, CA for a 12-month onsite assignment. You will support wire harness testing operations, operate test fixtures, inspect with borescopes, troubleshoot defects, and assist with harness load/unload as part of a small team.

The role requires 2+ years in harness testing, the ability to read harness drawings, and proficiency with multimeters; Cirris/Easy-Wire experience and IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification are a plus.

Qualifications

• Associate’s degree or technical certificate in Electronics, Electrical Technology, Avionics, or related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in wire harness testing, electrical troubleshooting, or electromechanical assembly/rework.
• Ability to read 2D electrical/wire harness drawings for varied harness types.
• Comfortable with multimeters; milliohmmeter experience a plus.
• Sound engineering judgment to distinguish fixture artifacts from genuine defects across different programs.
• Physical ability to lift up to 30 lbs, stand/bend/reach for extended periods, multi-person harness load/unload.
• Clear written documentation and communication skills for a small, collaborative team.
• On-site work in Hayward, CA.

Responsibilities

• Operate the Cirris Easy-Wire tester across harness programs; run tests and troubleshoot before formal runs.
• Visually inspect connectors and terminals with borescope to identify defects.
• Use multimeter and milliohmmeter to confirm readings and diagnose openings/shorts.
• Read and cross-reference 2D harness drawings against test findings.
• Perform basic connector rework and reseat wires on fixtures.
• Assist with loading/unloading harnesses on fixture tables with a small team.
• Set up/break down test tables and keep work areas clean and organized.
• Document findings with photos and notes for engineering escalation.

Job description

Job Title: Electrical Engineering Technician

Location: Hayward CA 94545

Duration: 12 months (onsite)

Pay rate: $55 - $57/hr. On W2 Schedule: Standard 8hrs/Day 40 hrs/Week

Job Description: Support Wire harness testing operations across multiple harness programs (body, high-speed, roof, and others as assigned) alongside existing operators —operating the test fixture, performing visual/borescope inspection, troubleshooting and reworking connector-level defects, and physically assisting with harness load/unload, labeling, and table setup.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Operate the Cirris Easy-Wire tester across different harness test programs (body, high-speed, roof, and others as needed): run official tests, use the Analyze Test Instructions pre-test pass to troubleshoot (Stop on Failure, Continuous Loop) before committing to a formal run.
• Visually inspect connectors and terminals (magnifier, borescope) to identify physical defects —off-center/backed-out terminals, cracked or broken seals, contamination, bent pins —independent of what the electrical reading shows.
• Use a multimeter and a 4-wire (Kelvin) milliohmmeter to independently confirm or rule out flagged readings (opens, shorts, miswires, high resistance).
• Read and cross-reference 2D wire harness engineering drawings/wire lists against test findings, across different harness types/programs.
• Perform basic connector rework: remove/replace clips, secondary locks, and terminals;reseat or re-terminate wires.
• Physically assist with loading/connecting and disconnecting/unloading each harness on the fixture table —a 2–3 person job;time and setup varies by harness type and fixture.
• Help set up and break down test tables/fixtures for different harness programs, lift components, label adapters/connectors, and keep work areas organized and clean.
• Document findings (photos, borescope captures, written notes) clearly enough for engineering escalation.
• Work alongside the two operators and coordinate with engineering/quality on recurring defect patterns, across whichever harness program is active.

Required Qualification:

• Associate’s degree or technical certificate in Electronics, Electrical Technology, Avionics, or a related field —OR equivalent hands‑on experience in lieu of formal education.
• 2+ years of hands‑on experience in wire harness testing, electrical troubleshooting, or electromechanical assembly/rework (automotive, aerospace, or similar manufacturing preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to read 2D electrical/wire harness engineering drawings for varied harness types.
• Comfortable with multimeters;milliohmmeter experience a plus.
• Able to exercise sound engineering judgment —distinguishing a fixture/test artifact from a genuine harness defect, and knowing when to upscale— and to adapt that judgment across different harness programs rather than one fixed test setup.
• Physical ability to lift/carry up to [e.G. 30 lbs], stand/bend/reach for extended periods, and participate in a multi‑person harness load/unload process.
• Clear written documentation and communication skills for a small, collaborative team.
• Able to work on‑site at.

Preferred:

• Prior experience with Cirris/EasyWire or a similar cable/harness test system (training provided if not).
• IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification (wire harness workmanship standard) or equivalent.
• Borescope/visual‑inspection equipment experience.
• Exposure to more than one harness type/vehicle subsystem (body, high-speed data, roof, etc.) a plus, though not required — willingness to cross‑train across programs matters more than prior breadth.
