## Description

We made history and now we work to transform the future – for our customers, our communities and our families. You'll see your work on the road every day, helping people move freely and pursue their dreams. At Ford, you can build more than vehicles. Come build what matters.

Product Creation and Industrialization (PC&I) brings together Ford’s vehicle, electric, digital and design teams with our global manufacturing system. Working as one end-to-end organization, we turn ideas into high-quality vehicles, software and experiences across gas, hybrid and electric, designed around what customers need.

In this position, you will build, modify, and repair prototype, breakout, and mule wiring harnesses to support vehicle development, integration, and testing. You will apply hands-on harness fabrication and electrical troubleshooting skills to select and install connectors and terminals, complete harness rework, and verify wiring quality. You will partner with engineering to deliver reliable prototype wiring that meets build and test needs.

## Responsibilities

- Build, modify, and repair prototype, breakout, and mule harnesses for vehicle and bench applications.

- Select appropriate wire, connectors, terminals, and related components based on drawings, requirements, and application needs.

- Perform wire preparation, crimping, splicing, depinning, repinning, and connector or harness rework using suitable tools and methods.

- Inspect workmanship and perform continuity checks; support troubleshooting and repair of wiring faults.

- Prepare, update, and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), wire lists, and harness build documentation.

- Read and follow electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, build instructions, and engineering changes.

- Support prototype vehicle wiring, integration, testing, and issue investigation in collaboration with engineering and technicians.

- Document build changes, test results, and issues, and communicate progress or material needs to relevant teams.

## Qualifications

- Hands-on experience building, modifying, repairing, or troubleshooting automotive electrical wiring and harnesses.

- Practical ability to crimp terminals, splice wires, depin and repin connectors, and make reliable electrical connections.

- Familiarity with connector and terminal selection and with DMC, Delphi, or Amphenol crimping tools.

- Ability to read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams and use them to build or troubleshoot harnesses.

- Experience performing continuity checks and using digital multimeters and other electrical test equipment.

- Comfort using common hand and power tools and maintaining accurate build documentation, BOMs, and wire lists.

- Ability to collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and integration teams in a hands-on prototype environment.
