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 a tomorrow you can be proud to have a hand in creating. 

 

The Flight Avionics Team provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Flight Avionics solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our team develops missile Flight Avionics 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 Flight Avionics Team is searching for an Electrical Systems Engineer with experience in developing RF subsystems, Radars or RF seekers. The role of the RF subsystem engineer is to design, develop and maintain RF architectures. Architecture development includes requirements, analysis and modelling. RF subsystem engineer collaborates 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 

• Architect RF power systems, including detailed analysis to ensure compliance to requirements 

• Work with detailed designers in the overall design of the RF power system into a schematic 

• Work with production personnel on yield of both RF/Power Circuit Card Assemblies and higher level subassemblies 

• Make technical trade-offs for the component selection criteria in the design 

• Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination. 

• Assignments may include 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. 

• RTX has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees. 

• Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination. 

• Assignments 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 5 years of engineering experience. An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for additional years of experience as follows: Master’s is equal to 2 years of experience or a Ph.D. is equal to 4 years of experience. 

• Experience with electrical hardware development 

• Experience in sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development and/or requirement validation 

• Experience in developing RF electrical subsystems.
