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. 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 3-7 years of handson hardware design, integration, or test for avionics, C4ISR, or ruggedized military electronics. Active TS/SCI clearance. Familiarity with MILSTD704/1275 power, MILSTD461 EMI/EMC, and aerospace wiring best practices (38999/26482, AS50881). Experience reading/modifying schematics and using ECAD tools (Altium, OrCAD, or similar). 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. |
