Senior Wire Harness Assembler Electro Soft, Inc. Montgomeryville, PA (on-site) Full-time, 40 hrs/week Also a fit if your title has been Lead Assembler, Wire Harness Technician, Cable Assembly Technician, Electro-Mechanical Assembler, Electronics Technician, or Production Lead. You've mastered the bench. Now build the bench.

You fix it, then you show someone else how. That's this job. Electro Soft is a family-owned, woman-owned electronics contract manufacturer founded in 1986 and still led by the family. We're

2015 certified, MBE certified, and ITAR registered, and we build custom wire harnesses, cable assemblies, circuit boards, cabinet assemblies, and military electronics for aviation, rail, transit, defense, and OEM customers — all in-house, never outsourced. We're 32 people, most of whom have been here ten years or more. The depth of skill on our floor is what our customers buy, and we want someone who will grow it.
