Ready to be the hands everyone else measures up to? Source Engineering & Manufacturing is looking for a Senior Cable Assembler to join our Plymouth, MN manufacturing site. This is a senior individual-contributor seat: you'll take on our most complex builds, run first articles, and set the workmanship standard newer assemblers learn by watching you work.
Your Role Will Include:
- Build our most complex cable and wire harness assemblies from drawings, schematics, and work instructions with minimal supervision.
- Perform precision wire cutting, stripping, crimping, soldering, potting, labeling, and bundling to IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards.
- Run and document first-article builds, helping dial in fixturing and tooling before a job moves to volume.

- Inspect your own and others' work for quality and compliance.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of hands-on cable and wire harness assembly experience.
- Demonstrated mastery of crimping, soldering, and connector termination across multiple connector families.
- Ability to work independently from complex engineering drawings, wire lists, and schematics.
- Proven first-time-right workmanship and low defect rates.
- Strong attention to detail and disciplined, repeatable technique.

- IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards experience, even without formal certification.
Preferred

- IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIT (Certified IPC Trainer).
