Electrical Engineering Technician

Kforce has a client in Foster City, CA that is seeking an Electrical Engineering Technician.

Position Summary:

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.

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
• 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 escalate - 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

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

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
