Company mission
To transform the automotive and transportation industries, bringing to market EVs developed from the ground up to address the needs of the medium-duty vehicle industry.
Role

- Technical Proficiency: Mastery of industry-standard crimping, terminating, splicing, and shielding techniques
- PCBA Skills: Proven experience soldering components onto PCBAs under a microscope
- Schematic Literacy: Advanced ability to interpret complex wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, and mechanical assembly drawings
- Adaptability: Ability to multi-task and pivot quickly in a fast-paced prototype environment
- Education: High school diploma or equivalent; technical trade school certification is a plus

- Soldering Standards: Familiarity with J-STD-001 for soldered electrical and electronic assemblies
- EV Experience: Knowledge of high-voltage safety protocols and orange-cable handling/shielding
- Lean Methodologies: Experience with 5S, Six Sigma, or similar quality management frameworks
What the job involves
- Harbinger Motors is seeking a highly skilled Sr. Wiring Harness Quality Technician to support the assembly and quality auditing of prototype Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) wire harnesses
- This is a contract-to-hire position requiring on-site attendance five days a week at our Garden Grove facility
- This role is critical in ensuring our prototype vehicles meet the highest standards of electrical safety and performance
- Assembly & Integration: Build, install, and repair complex LV and HV harnesses according to detailed technical drawings & schematics
- Quality Auditing: Perform 100% visual and mechanical inspections on in-house builds, focusing on routing, labeling, tie-wrap tension, and overall workmanship
- Verification & Testing: Conduct crimp height analysis, pull-tests, and terminal seating audits to ensure electrical and mechanical integrity
- Precision Measurement: Use calipers & tape measures to verify harness lengths and breakout points against engineering specifications
- Documentation: Maintain rigorous audit logs and "redline" engineering drawings when discrepancies or design improvements are identified
- Precision Soldering: Utilize microscopes to solder components onto PCBAs and perform wire-to-board terminations
- Continuous Improvement: Partner with the engineering and production teams to perform root-cause analysis on defects and suggest process optimizations
- Lab Stewardship: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe laboratory environment (5S)
- Overtime: Available and expected based on project milestones
Our take
Traditionally, commercial fleets and medium-duty vehicle operators have faced barriers such as high acquisition costs and limited options in the electric vehicle market. Harbinger aims to disrupt this landscape by developing an electric stripped chassis that specifically caters to the performance, durability, and lifespan expectations of Class 4 to Class 6 vehicles.
The company's focus on delivering an EV platform priced with zero acquisition premium addresses a key obstacle in the widespread adoption of EVs within the commercial sector. With impressive funding to its name and a 2025-announced deal to build trucks for FedEx, Harbinger Motors is ready to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of electric mobility for commercial and speciality vehicles.
