Bedford, MA

Full Time

Join the integrated Government‐industry team delivering Phalanx Griffon (PG)—a platform‐agnostic, open‐architecture aerial node that pushes real‐time, multi‐level‐secure data to the tactical edge. As the Senior Aeronautical Engineer, you will be the program's primary air‐vehicle integration lead, translating the digital design into safe, air‐worthy hardware and ensuring seamless fit, form, and function across multiple aircraft types.

Essential Job Functions:

• Platform Integration Lead: Own the aircraft‐level mechanical & structural integration of the Nomad hardware stack, SATCOM apertures, and platform‐interface modules (PIMs). Develop and coordinate AF Form 1067 packages, air‐worthiness artifacts, and flight‐clearance data with System Program Offices (SPOs), Flight Test Centers, and OEMs. Perform trade studies and SWaP‐C analyses to down‐select form‐factor options for priority platforms.
• Digital Engineering & Model‐Based Design: Author/maintain 3‐D CAD assemblies, interface‐control models, and parametric weight/balance data inside the program's government‐owned digital thread.
• Feed real‐time design feedback to Nomad, Smith, and Watch IPTs and the Government architecture team.
• System Integration Laboratory (SIL) Support: Define aircraft‐representative fixtures, wiring harnesses, and environmental test setups; oversee buildout and day‐to‐day operation of the Integration SIL.
• Execute vibration, EMI/EMC, thermal, and functional checkout testing prior to DT/OT.
• Flight Test & Fielding: Draft test plans, hazard analyses, and Interim Authorizations to Test (IATT); serve as on‐board or ground‐test engineer during developmental and operational flights.
• Lead red‐line capture, root‐cause analysis, and incorporation of lessons learned into subsequent builds and Product Delivery Orders (PDOs).
• Program Execution & Mentorship: Maintain integration milestones within the Integrated Master Schedule; brief risk, cost, and readiness metrics to Government leadership.
• Provide technical mentorship to mid‐level engineers; cultivate a culture of agile, DevSecOps‐aligned hardware development.
