About Us
At our core, we are builders. We are an advanced manufacturing company born from Detroit's legacy of innovation. Our objective is to redefine what it means to "make things" by bridging the gap between cutting-edge code and the shop floor. We believe that a robust manufacturing base is the ultimate engine for growth, and we utilize advanced software to drive efficiency, precision, and quality in everything we build. We are proud to be part of Michigan's manufacturing resurgence and are looking for makers who want to build the next generation of industry with us.
Role Overview
We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented Electrical Technician to join our team on a contract basis. In this role, you will assemble and wire the electrical components that power our systems — from hand-soldering PCBs to building out full electrical panels. We're looking for someone who takes pride in clean, reliable work and is comfortable moving between fine detail work (soldering, small wire terminations) and larger panel assembly.
Key Responsibilities
● Wire Assembly: Cut, strip, terminate, and route wires and cable harnesses according to schematics and wiring diagrams.
● Soldering: Hand-solder components to PCBs and perform through-hole/surface-mount rework with a high standard of quality and consistency.
● Panel Assembly: Mount, wire, and label components inside electrical panels (terminal blocks, relays, breakers, contactors, power supplies, etc.).
● Testing & QC: Perform basic continuity, point-to-point, and visual inspection checks to verify assemblies meet spec before they move downstream.
● Documentation: Read and follow wiring diagrams, schematics, and bills of material; flag discrepancies or ambiguities to engineering.
● Shop Maintenance: Keep your workstation, tools, and consumables organized and in good working order.
Required Skills & Qualifications
● Experience: 1-3 years of hands-on experience in wire harness assembly, PCB soldering, or electrical panel building (industrial, automotive, or similar).
● Technical Proficiency: Comfortable reading wiring diagrams and schematics; skilled with hand tools (crimpers, wire strippers, soldering irons/stations).
● Soldering Quality: Ability to produce clean, reliable solder joints on PCBs; IPC J-STD-001 certification is a plus but not required.
● Attention to Detail: Strong focus on precision, labeling, and following spec — this work ends up in systems that need to run reliably.
● Digital Literacy: Comfortable with computers for time-tracking, reading digital drawings, or basic communication. Willingness to learn new tools and technology, including AI-assisted workflows.
Soft Skills & Culture Fit
We hire for attitude and train for skill. The ideal candidate will possess:
● A Growth Mindset: You are someone who wants to be better every single day. You aren't afraid to ask "why" or "how can we do this better?"
● Humility: You take pride in your work but are open to feedback and willing to learn new methods or trades.
● Curiosity: You have a natural interest in how things work and a desire to expand your toolkit into other trades and technologies.
● Strong Communication: You can clearly articulate progress, challenges, and ideas to the rest of the team.
Why Join Us?
● Skill Expansion: We are an advanced manufacturing company, driven by software and new technology. We offer the unique opportunity to learn new tools and techniques on the job, making you a more versatile professional.
● Collaborative Environment: Work in a shop where your voice is heard and your expertise is respected.
● Quality-First Culture: We don't just move fast; we move with intention and a focus on high-quality output.
