You can buy them from outfitting as normal once its unlocked. Guardian weapons are in the experimental group if the station stocks that group.
One of the items required for the gimballed shock cannon is a bunch of “Power Converters”.
This is an item I had previously not discovered and I now understand is unique to certain locations.
Would anyone be able to let me know (without the aid of google and YouTube), what in-game mechanic exists to discover where to find these?

Check commodity markets. If you can find a system that buys these (has demand), select the item and you will see a description. The description says where it can be found.
It may also be a mission reward (I'm pretty sure it used to) and there are missions that offer large amounts of commodities (20+) in 3.0.
Being able to engineer Guardian tech was apparently a bug, and is now fixed.
Makes sense that humans can't tamper with technology far advanced than their own.

Doesn't make nearly as much sense after it's allowed in-game for several days, then taken away.
I just checked, power converter is in demand in high tech stations. So go to any high tech station, open the commodity market and look for power converter in the machinery section. The item description tells you where it can be bought.
