At Raytheon, you have the opportunity to try new things and make a bigger difference across a broader end-to-end solution, a richer technology and product set, an expanded range of disciplines. You will be on the front lines as we trailblaze new approaches, push the boundaries of innovation and chart a course to tomorrow you can be proud to have a hand in creating.
The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems team provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our team develops missile Guidance System Hardware. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, analysis, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as missile level systems teams.
The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems Team is searching for a Senior Principal Electrical Systems Engineer with experience in developing RF subsystems, Radars or RF seekers. The role of the Senior Principal RF subsystem engineer is to design, develop and maintain RF architectures. Architecture development includes requirements, analysis and modelling. RF subsystem engineers collaborate with missile level system engineers in developing requirements for the subsystem. They perform evaluation and modeling to decompose requirements for RF sub-assemblies and component designs.
What You Will Do
- Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination.
- Evaluation of hardware designs, subsystems, and components; architecting new electronic systems; developing and documenting subsystem requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root-cause failure investigations.
- Mentoring is expected.
- Role may require supporting multiple programs.
- Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel.
- Develop a network and know when to use it to get help.
- Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level management
- Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers
Qualifications You Must Have
- Typically requires a Bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience
- Experience with electrical hardware development
- Experience in sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development and/or requirement validation
- Experience in developing RF electrical subsystems
Qualifications We Prefer
- Missile Radar and RF seeker subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic. The ideal candidate will have a background in detailed design and troubleshooting of one or more of these components in RF applications. Ideal candidates will also have some experience in systems engineering and architecture and have a design to grow into a guidance section architect.
- Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
- Knowledge of mixed signal electronics.
- Ability to manage cross-functional teams.
- Ability to drive suppliers in meeting commitments.
- Knowledge of DoD/DoW hardware development process (knowledge of design gates).
