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 25-27). 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 3-7 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.
