Why this role matters

The Harness Manufacturing Technician role is critical to the success of both our ground testing infrastructure and next-generation satellites. By manufacturing high-quality harnesses and evaluating the manufacturability of new cable designs, this role helps ensure reliability, efficiency, and continuous improvement throughout the product development cycle. Cables are the vital interfaces that connect every subsystem, enabling communication, power distribution, and seamless operation across the satellite. As the threads that bring complex systems to life, every harness built contributes directly to mission success.
