• Inspect completed harnesses for proper configuration, continuity, and workmanship, and correct any identified issues.

• Use hand tools and basic production equipment safely and effectively during assembly tasks.

• Collaborate with other technicians and production team members to meet build schedules and delivery timelines.

• Maintain a clean, organized work area and follow established production processes and procedures.

• Support mechanical assembly tasks as needed, contributing to broader production activities when wiring workload allows.
