A Production Fabricator or Assembler constructs and assembles a wide range of products, such as engines, computers, aircraft, ships, boats, toys, electronic devices, and control panels, as well as the individual parts that make up these products.
Overview Join the high-reliability manufacturing team at NuWaves RF Solutions as a Cable and Wire Harness Assembler . In this role, you will play a vital part in building mission-critical RF assemblies, custom cable harnesses, and electro-mechanical interconnects used in defense, aerospace, and commercial RF systems. You will work with precision hand tools, semi-automated equipment, and testing instruments to assemble and inspect complex wiring assemblies in accordance with
IPC/WHMA-A-620
Class 3 standards. We value craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous improvement in an
AS9100 / ISO 9001
quality environment.
Key Responsibilities Harness & Cable Fabrication:
Assemble custom wire harnesses, multi-conductor cables, discrete wire assemblies, and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies according to engineering drawings, wiring schematics, and standard work instructions.
Wire & Coaxial Cable Prep:
Cut, strip, assemble, and terminate flexible, conformable, and semi-rigid RF/microwave coaxial cables with various connector interfaces (SMA, SMP, BNC, Type-N, Micro-D, D-Sub, circular connectors).
Crimping & Soldering:
Perform high-reliability hand soldering (wire-to-terminal, cup terminals, grounding shields) and precision mechanical crimping following
IPC/WHMA-A-620
standards.
Heat Shrink & Shielding:
Apply heat-shrink tubing, EMI/RFI shielding braids, overbraiding, and protective jacketing using heat guns and specialized fixtures.
Inspection & Quality Verification:
Visually inspect completed harnesses against
IPC-A-620
criteria (Class 2/3) for proper pin retention, strip lengths, solder joints, crimp integrity, and overall workmanship.
Electrical Testing:
Perform point-to-point continuity, resistance, short checks, and insulation/dielectric withstanding voltage (Hi-Pot) testing using digital multimeters (DMM) and automated cable analyzers.
Documentation & Compliance:
Follow assembly work routers, record traceability data, document non-conformances, and maintain ESD-safe workstation cleanliness.
