Hardware Technician (Harness)

Bee Talent Solutions · Pittsburgh

FULL TIME

Job Description

The Hardware Electrical / Harness Technician will build, integrate, diagnose, and validate low-voltage electrical systems, wiring harnesses, and custom hardware mounts on autonomous trucks and robotaxis. Working directly on the shop floor, the ideal candidate is a practical problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced prototype and build environment.

Day-in-the-Life & Key

Responsibilities

Harness & Electrical Integration:

Install, integrate, test, and repair automotive-grade wiring harnesses, power distribution units (PDUs), fuses, relays, connectors, and power/signal architectures across sensor, compute, and actuation modules.

Mechanical Support:

Perform basic mechanical assembly tasks directly related to electrical integration, including mounting sensors/actuators, installing brackets, routing harnesses, and securing connectors on vehicles.

Diagnostics & Troubleshooting:

Diagnose, isolate, and repair electrical faults, shorts, wiring errors, and intermittent continuity issues on prototype and production vehicles using multimeters, oscilloscopes, and hand tools.

Schematics & CAD Consultation:

Read and interpret complex electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings. Utilize basic 3D CAD (SolidWorks) to view, rotate, and reference spatial assembly models.

Documentation & Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Document builds, test outcomes, paper redlines, and issue resolutions using Google Suite and PLM/document control tools while working alongside mechanical and software engineering teams.

Target Experience & Qualifications

Experience Level:

3+ years of hands-on experience in automotive, aerospace/avionics, robotics, motorsports, or prototyping environments.

Core Competencies:

Experience reading electrical schematics/wiring diagrams; experience working in hand crimping, pinning connectors, soldering, wire harness fabrication (form board), and circuit continuity testing.

Target Backgrounds & Dealerships:

Candidates with hands-on shop experience from automotive dealerships (e.g., Honda, Mercedes, Ford), independent repair garages, prototype/R&D shops, custom wiring shops, robotics, or aerospace.

Target Job Titles:

Wire Harness Technician, Electrical Technician, Automotive Technician, Prototype/R&D Technician, Integration Technician, Mechanical Build Technician.

Tool & Equipment Proficiency:

Proficiency with crimping tools, torque wrenches, multimeters, continuity testers, and oscilloscopes.

Education Trade-Off:

Associate degree or technical certification in Electrical/Electronics/Automotive Technology is preferred, but 3+ years of strong, practical shop floor/garage experience cleanly supersedes formal degree requirements.

Software Skills:

Operational proficiency with Google Suite (Docs/Sheets) and comfort opening/navigating 3D CAD models (e.g., SolidWorks) for reference.

Preferred / Bonus

Experience

Prior experience with autonomous vehicles (AV), commercial trucks, or robotaxi platforms.

Working knowledge of 12V/24V automotive architecture and high-voltage (HV) vehicle safety protocols.

Familiarity with NEC/NFPA 70E or equivalent electrical safety standards.

Dual-capability in both electrical harness fabrication and mechanical component integration (Hybrid Profile).
