Onsite

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 Integrated Solutions, Modeling, and Architecture (ISMA) directorate assesses, develops, and evaluates solution architectures for our customers’ largest, most complex challenges across all of the operational domains. In the Operations and Mission Analysis Department (OMA), you’ll be part of a special team that analyzes the world’s most challenging threats and helps define new capabilities to counter them, pushing the boundaries of innovation, and leading the industry in operational modeling and simulation using our purpose-built software. As a team member in the Visualization & Customer Engagement Section, you will join a high performing team of fellow engineers at the Customer Immersion Center in Arlington VA, working to support the customer across the operational domains.
 

What You Will Do

The modeling and simulation engineer will develop, analyze, and assess system operations and results specific to the customer’s operational problem sets in the operational domains of maritime, land, air, and space. The engineer will use using software tools and methods, campaign analysis, and system level visualization to describe results and recommendations to the customer.
 

You will use your systems and software engineering skills to develop and visualize solutions to worldwide challenges which benefit our warfighters. We are looking for innovative, creative, and highly motivated teammates to develop and integrate computer models and simulations which effectively capture system of systems effects in varied and complex threat environments. You will use the model to generate virtual and/or analytical solutions, identify technology gaps, and demonstrate operational benefits of new concepts in complex scenarios. You will help develop requirements, and test system performance. After some initial experience, you can expect to also use your skills to augment and support wargaming efforts to train military operators as well as:

• Evaluation of end-to-end military system needs to determine interfaces, and data connectivity requirements across the kill-chain.
• Model system and mission kill chains using US Government, commercial, and Raytheon M&S tools.
• Develop metrics to provide results which communicate the chain of events that led to an action.
• Implement algorithms to provide next-generation performance across the entire system of systems.
   

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of two (2) years of prior relevant experience.
• Relevant experience with scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB.
• Experience with Military Operations Analysis.
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Experience with Raytheon owned Modeling and Simulation tools (e.g. OpsTool or RCADE) or Government/Industry Modeling and Simulation tools (e.g. AFSIM, OneSAF, Brawler, STK, etc).
• Experience and knowledge of DoD and IC Mission Areas (e.g., Space, Air, Land…) or systems such as radar, electro optical, and infrared sensing systems.
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued TS/SCI security clearance
• Experience in understanding tactics as described by military experts and the ability to represent their employment.
• Advanced Degree in Engineering, Science, Mathematics, or related discipline.
   

What We Offer

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
• Relocation Eligibility
