As a Journeyman Electrical Engineer, you'll join the cross functional team turning Phalanx Griffon (PG) from digital design into flight ready hardware for Major Release 2 (FY ). You'll focus on power distribution, wiring harnesses, interface control documentation, and EMI/EMC compliance for the Nomad open architecture chassis-supporting lab builds, environmental tests, and aircraft installation.
Essential Job Functions:
• Hardware Integration & Schematics
• Develop and update wiring diagrams, pin outs, and cable assemblies for Nomad processing cards, crypto devices, and SATCOM interfaces.
• Calculate load analyses and circuit protection to meet platform SWaP C and MIL STD 704/1275 power quality requirements.
• Lab & Bench Support
• Assemble and troubleshoot PG line replaceable units in the Integration SIL; perform continuity checks, power on verification, and firmware updates.
• Instrument test setups (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers) and document results for design to test traceability.
• Environmental & EMI/EMC Preparation
• Assist senior engineers in vibration, thermal, and EMI/EMC pre qualification tests (MIL STD 810/461); capture redlines and support corrective actions.
• Documentation & Configuration Control
• Maintain interface control documents (ICDs), bills of material (BOM), and part number trees inside the government digital engineering environment (CAMEO/SysML, Windchill).
• Generate test procedures, validation reports, and engineering change packages for flight test readiness.
• Cross Team Collaboration
• Work alongside Systems, Software, and Test IPTs to resolve integration issues quickly and feed lessons learned into subsequent Product Delivery Orders (PDOs).
• Coordinate with platform SPOs/OEMs on connector standards, grounding schemes, and aircraft power bus impacts.
Required Skills:
Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.
B.S. in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or related discipline) plus 8 years of hands on hardware design, integration, or test for avionics, C4ISR, or ruggedized military electronics.
Active TS/SCI clearance.
Familiarity with MIL STD 704/1275 power, MIL STD 461 EMI/EMC, and aerospace wiring best practices (38999/26482, AS50881).
Experience reading/modifying schematics and using E CAD tools (Altium, OrCAD, or similar).
Comfortable with lab instrumentation and fault isolation techniques.
Desired Skills:
Prior work on airborne networking, SATCOM, crypto, or cross domain hardware.
Exposure to Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and digital thread environments.
Experience supporting configuration audits, RMF hardware artifacts, or safety of flight packages.
IPC/WHMA 620 or NASA STD 8739 wire harness certification.
