Journeyman Electrical Engineer

Job Number: 793

External Description:

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.
