WORK EXPERIENCE / TRS
Electrical Device
Assembly Technician
TRS International Manufacturing, Inc.
PAID POSITION · PART-TIMEAugust 2026 — Present
Foothill Ranch, California · On-site
I build and test cable assemblies and wire harnesses at TRS. My work combines hands-on assembly with electrical checks: following the drawing, making the connections, and working through issues when the test results don’t match what’s expected.
What I do
- Assemble to instructions. Follow customer drawings and work instructions to put together cable assemblies and wire harnesses.
- Prepare and connect wiring. Use hand tools for wire preparation and terminal work, then route wires and check connector and cable labels.
- Test the assembly. Operate electrical test equipment, including the CableEye setup shown below, and interpret the results.
- Check and troubleshoot. Inspect the assembly for quality, investigate wiring or connection issues, and work with the production team to resolve problems.
From assembly to a checked connection.
Small details matter here: matching a wire to the right connection, keeping the routing organized, and making labels easy to follow.
Testing gives me a way to check the physical work. I read the results and use them to guide troubleshooting, rather than relying on appearance alone.
