Sr. Electrical Engineer – Supplier Rea

RTX RTX · Aerospace · salt lake city, UT +1 · Engineering

Senior Electrical Engineer role focused on supporting RF and mixed-signal Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs) through production testing, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement at a supplier site. Requires hands-on experience with electronics, RF/mixed-signal circuits, and supplier management, with a strong emphasis on ensuring on-time deliveries and technical rigor. A U.S. government security clearance is mandatory.

What you'd actually do

  1. Be the onsite REA at the supplier: support daily execution and issue resolution (especially around factory test issues), monitor production health, and ensure on-time deliveries.
  2. Hands-on troubleshooting of RF and mixed-signal CCAs using bench equipment (e.g., VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope, power meter, phase noise analyzer).
  3. Investigate test failures: review test data, isolate root cause, implement containment, and drive corrective actions (RCCA) with supplier teams.
  4. Verify and improve test methods: assess setups, procedures, calibration/fixtures, repeatability/accuracy, and drive design-for-test enhancements.
  5. Ensure configuration control: confirm build standards, ECNs, and documentation flow between Raytheon and supplier are consistent and current.
