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 Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Data Link/Communication, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams.

The AEGS Department is searching for a Guidance Electronics Unit (GEU) Portfolio Manager with experience managing a complex, high dollar value Earned Value (EV) effort and supporting multiple critical, fast paced programs with GEU deliveries. The GEUs used by this portfolio, consisting of several large programs, are developed, manufactured, and tested by a separate GEU program. The role of the GEU Portfolio Manager is to be the manager, Point of Contact (POC) and Control Account Management (CAM) for all GEU activities across the portfolio. The GEU Portfolio Manager has the high impact and high visibility role of ensuring that all programs in the portfolio receive GEUs that meet their schedule and technical needs. Given the criticality of the programs and the GEUs to their execution, the GEU Portfolio Manager will proactively coordinate and communicate with all portfolio programs and at the portfolio level. This role will include CAM responsibilities so EV certification is required and the candidate is expected to already have or be able to obtain at least a Level 5 EV certification. 

What You Will Do

• Manage costs and schedule for GEU build, test, and deliveries that flow to the portfolio programs

• Close coordination with the GEU program and collaboration with other programs that use the GEUs

• Manage the technical and schedule risk for GEU deliveries to the portfolio

• Coordination of GEU failure investigations that affect the portfolio

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

• Assignments may include guiding a team through several phases of hardware systems lifecycle such as designs and analysis; 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.
