At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. 

The Effector RF Products Department is seeking current Electrical or Computer Engineering college students who have experience designing wireless communication and data links for a fulltime position. This role includes design and test activities that span preliminary design to integration.  Products we develop support datalink applications on a variety of tactical missile programs. 

The Data Link subsystems team develops the next generation of high capacity, covert, and agile data links. From space based to terrestrial RF links, Raytheon develops RF data link subsystems for the most challenging environments. As a member of this team within the ERFP Department, your tasks may include:

• Communications systems design

• Data link hardware development

• Algorithm development

• Digital signal processing

This position is in Tucson, AZ and is an on-site role.

What You Will Do

• Perform and/or evaluate concept and performance trade studies, link budget analyses and demonstrate developed capabilities for data link communication applications.

• Perform hardware and software Communication Architecture trade studies.

• Develop, prototype, and test data link models and communication signal processing algorithms in detailed high fidelity simulations and support hardware implementation.

• Testing, verifying and validating communication and signal processing algorithm requirements and performance in laboratory or field test environments.

• Provide engineering support through participation in project design reviews, peer reviews, briefings to internal leadership and external customers for all phases of development tasks.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) major.

• Experience and/or coursework with two or more of the following:

  • Communication theory

  • Digital signal processing

  • Probability theory

  • Stochastic signal processing

  • RF and electromagnetic theory

• This position requires 12 months or less of relevant professional work experience (excluding internships).

• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Majoring in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with a focus in digital communications, communications systems design, data link hardware development, waveform algorithm development, and or digital signal processing.

• Experience with system engineering of RF subsystems.

• Experience with waveform simulations using modulations schemes such as: PSK, FSK, OFDM, and QAM.

• Familiar with common RF impairments: Phase noise, multipath, and Doppler. 

• Link budget and propagation modeling for end to end system evaluation. 

• Strong understanding of RF transceiver and front end design and common tradeoffs in RF designs for communication systems.
