DCS Corp
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.
