does the position of a guitar bridge effect the tuning and sound of the strings?

i am building an electric guitar and i am almost done. i put on the vridge and strings and tried to tune it but it wouldnt work. the open strings were in tune but when i play and tunes the strings are all off.

does the position of the bridge on the body have any effect on the sound?

To put it simply, if the bridge wasn't in the right place the guitar would be out of tune with itself and the world. This is known as intonation and you can check if you intonation is correct by lightly placing a finger on the string directly above the 12th fret and striking the string quickly removing th finger in order to produce the strings harmonic ten play the note of the 12th fret on said string and they should be identical if not it needs an adjustment best left to a professional.
