Our automotive client is seeking an Electrical Engineering Technician to join their team. As an Electrical Engineering Technician, you will be part of the Operations/Testing team supporting wire harness testing across multiple harness programs (body, high-speed, roof, and others as assigned). The ideal candidate will have hands-on troubleshooting skills, strong visual inspection attention to detail, and the ability to read and cross-reference 2D wire harness engineering drawings, which will align successfully in the organization.
Job Title: Electrical Engineering Technician
Location: Hayward, CA
Pay Range: $56/hour + Benefits
What's the Job?
- Operate the Cirris Easy-Wire tester across different harness test programs (body, high-speed, roof, and others as needed), running official tests and using pre-test pass troubleshooting (Stop on Failure, Continuous Loop) before committing to a formal run.
- Perform visual and borescope inspections of connectors and terminals to identify physical defects such as off-center/backed-out terminals, cracked or broken seals, contamination, and bent pins - regardless of what the electrical reading shows.
- Use a multimeter and a 4-wire (Kelvin) milliohmmeter to independently confirm or rule out flagged readings including opens, shorts, miswires, and high resistance.
- Read and cross-reference 2D wire harness engineering drawings/wire lists against test findings across varied harness types/programs.
- Assist with basic connector rework (remove/replace clips, secondary locks, and terminals; reseat or re-terminate wires) and support harness load/unload, labeling, and test table setup/breakdown in a coordinated 2–3 person process.
What's Needed?
- Associates 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 using multimeters; milliohmmeter experience is a plus.
- Ability to exercise sound engineering judgment to distinguish fixture/test artifacts from genuine harness defects and know when to escalate; clear written documentation and communication skills for a collaborative team.
What's in it for me?
- Work on real, hands-on wire harness testing and troubleshooting that directly impacts quality outcomes.
- Collaborate closely with two operators and coordinate with engineering/quality on recurring defect patterns across active harness programs.
- Build confidence by mastering multiple harness test programs and adapting your judgment across different setups.
- Strengthen your technical documentation skills by capturing clear findings (photos, borescope captures, and written notes) for engineering escalation.
- Join an on-site team environment where organization, safety, and precision matter every day.
