Save Job

As an 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.
