Electrical Engineer (Journeyman)

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.

A High School Diploma plus 15 years of directly related experience with proper certifications as described in the Functionally Aligned Job Descriptions,

5 of which must be in the DoD

or a BA / BS plus 10 years of experience in the respective technical / professional discipline being performed,

3 of which must be in the DoD .

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.
