As a Journeyman Electrical Engineer, you'll join the crossfunctional team turning Phalanx Griffon (PG) from digital design into flightready hardware for Major Release 2 (FY 2527). You'll focus on power distribution, wiring harnesses, interfacecontrol documentation, and EMI/EMC compliance for the Nomad openarchitecture chassis-supporting lab builds, environmental tests, and aircraft installation.

Essential Job Functions:

* Hardware Integration & Schematics

* Develop and update wiring diagrams, pinouts, and cable assemblies for Nomad processing cards, crypto devices, and SATCOM interfaces.

* Calculate load analyses and circuit protection to meet platform SWaPC and MILSTD704/1275 powerquality requirements.

* Lab & Bench Support

* Assemble and troubleshoot PG linereplaceable units in the Integration SIL; perform continuity checks, poweron verification, and firmware updates.

* Instrument test setups (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, power analyzers) and document results for designtotest traceability.

* Environmental & EMI/EMC Preparation

* Assist senior engineers in vibration, thermal, and EMI/EMC prequalification tests (MILSTD810/461); capture redlines and support corrective actions.

* Documentation & Configuration Control

* Maintain interfacecontrol documents (ICDs), bills of material (BOM), and partnumber trees inside the government digitalengineering environment (CAMEO/SysML, Windchill).

* Generate test procedures, validation reports, and engineeringchange packages for flighttest readiness.

* CrossTeam 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 powerbus impacts.

Comfortable with lab instrumentation and fault isolation techniques.

Desired Skills:

Prior work on airborne networking, SATCOM, crypto, or crossdomain hardware.

Exposure to ModelBased Systems Engineering (MBSE) and digitalthread environments.

Experience supporting configuration audits, RMF hardware artifacts, or safetyofflight packages.

IPC/WHMA620 or NASASTD8739 wireharness certification.
