Experienced

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.
  • Read complex engineering drawings and flag errors or ambiguities back to engineering.
  • 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.
  • Experience building complete cable assemblies end-to-end, not single-station/high-volume work.
  • IPC/WHMA-A-620 workmanship standards experience, even without formal certification.

Preferred

  • Current IPC/WHMA-A-620 certification (CIS); training and certification provided if not already certified.
  • IPC/WHMA-A-620 CIT (Certified IPC Trainer).
  • J-STD-001 soldering certification.
  • Control panel build experience.

Salary and Benefits:

  • $25–$32 per hour, based on experience and certification level.
  • 401(k), health and dental insurance, and performance bonuses.

Location & Shift Times:

  • Plymouth, MN (on-site).
  • First shift, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM, Monday–Friday; FT.

Physical Demands:

  • Fine motor control, close vision, and sustained focus at a bench.
  • Frequent repetitive hand/wrist movement; extended periods seated or standing.
  • Occasional lifting and moving of parts up to 35 lbs.
