Overview
Job Number:
784
External Description:
Phalanx Griffon (PG) is the Air Force's openarchitecture airborne node linking warfighters to decisionquality data at the tactical edge. As the program's
Avionics Engineering SME
, you will be the cornerstone technical authority for integrating the
Nomad
chassis, Type1 crypto, SATCOM apertures, and OMS/UCI software with multiple aircraft avionics suites during
Major Release 2 (FY 2527)
-ensuring airworthiness, mission effectiveness, and digitalthread fidelity.
Essential Job Functions:
Architecture & Design Authority Define avionics integration schemes that marry Nomad VPX hardware with platform data buses (MILSTD1553, ARINC429/664, Ethernet TSN) and mission computers. • Develop interfacecontrol documents (ICDs), signalflow diagrams, and timing budgets; ensure alignment with OMS/UCI messages and crossdomain guard rules. Airworthiness & Certification
Lead authoring of AF Form 1067s, Eseries flightclearance packages, and safetyofflight analyses. • Oversee DO254 (hardware) & DO178C (software) compliance artifacts where required. Digital Thread / MBSE
Capture avionics models in SysML/CAMEO and link to requirements, verification methods, and hardware part trees. • Drive configurationcontrol boards, redline incorporation, and model synchronization. LabtoFlight Integration
Specify and validate wiring harnesses, signal conditioning, and power interfaces in the Integration SIL. • Troubleshoot EMI/EMC, timing, and protocol issues; guide corrective actions through to flighttest readiness. FlightTest & Fielding Support
Draft test cards, telemetry requirements, and Interim Authorizations To Test (IATT). • Serve as onboard or ground avionics lead during developmental & operational flights; analyze realtime data and coordinate anomaly resolution. Mentorship & Stakeholder Engagement
Advise Government IPT leads, platform SPOs, and OEM avionics teams; present technical status to SES/GO audiences. • Mentor midlevel engineers, instilling openarchitecture and DevSecOps best practices in a classified environment.
Required Skills:
Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.
B.S. in Electrical, Avionics, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (M.S. preferred) plus
20 + years
of avionics design/integration on military fixed or rotarywing platforms, including flighttest and fielding.
Active TS/SCI
clearance.
Expert knowledge of MILSTD1553, ARINC429/664, Ethernet (TSN/AFDX), VPX architectures, and timing/synchronization methods.
Demonstrated success integrating Type1 crypto, SATCOM/RF subsystems, and open mission systems (OMS/UCI, FACE, SOSA).
Handson experience generating airworthiness artifacts and guiding systems through developmental & operational test.
Proficiency with avionics ECAD and MBSE tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, Altium/OrCAD).
Desired Skills:
Prior work on
ABMS, CJADC2, or airborne C4ISR networking
programs.
Deep familiarity with DO254/DO178C compliance, RCC 324/12515, and MILSTD461 EMI/EMC.
INCOSE CSEP/ESEP, DER, or USAF Test Pilot School academic credentials.
Experience integrating softwaredefined radios, content routing, or SDN architectures into legacy aircraft.
Agile/SAFe certification and exposure to DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One, Rancher).
