Posting Title: Associate Director, Infrared Semiconductor Device Engineering Technologist

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.

Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS) is a world leader in the research, design and manufacture of infrared and visible focal plane arrays and camera products, delivering for over forty years with a diverse range of EO solutions and customers.

We have an immediate opportunity for an Infrared Semiconductor Device Engineering Technologist for focal plane arrays (FPA) with a focus on infrared device physics and design. This role offers a significant opportunity to leverage your expertise in semiconductor design, processing, metrology, device testing, failure analysis, and statistical analysis.

This includes maturation of manufacturing and technology readiness levels (MRL/TRL), semiconductor wafer and Sensor Chip Assemblies (SCA) processing, detector and SCA device testing and data analysis, and making strategic data driven decision to develop and deliver next generation SCA visions system to both internal and our external customers. You will work within a multi-discipline team to develop advanced SCAs utilizing single and dual color HgCdTe/HCT, III/V (InSb, InGaAs, SLS, nBn and others) semiconductors detector technologies. Specifically, this will include detector design, process development, manufacture, and test of SCAs at the RVS Goleta wafer/SCA fabrication facility.

What You Will Do: 

• Technical Solutions: Translate customer requirements for EOIR systems into viable product solutions that RVS can provide.
• Strategic Development: Formulate and implementing strategies, both short and long term (2-5 years), to advance the development and application of infrared detector technologies, including road mapping and strategic planning in collaboration with RVS leadership.
• Innovation Leadership: Drive development initiatives to innovate and advance infrared detector technologies, staying abreast of the latest industry advancements.
• Complex Problem Solving: Address complex, multi-dimensional issues impacting various organizational areas. Extensively analyzes problems to seek understanding of the underlying issue and root cause of the problem. Solutions are cutting-edge and achieved through collaboration and dialog with other experts in the field.
• Semiconductor Data Analysis: Conduct data analysis to evaluate the testing and performance of semiconductor devices.
• Project Oversight: Oversee multiple projects, ensuring they are completed on time, within budget, and meet technical specifications.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain relationships with stakeholders, including customers, mission partners, and vendors, and representing the organization at conferences and meetings.
• Engineering Leadership: Lead and mentor a team of engineers, providing guidance and support to foster professional growth.

Qualifications You Must Have: 

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 12 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 10 years or prior relevant experience.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US Government issued clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. Citizenship is required as only US citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Familiarity and experience with device design, test, and modeling tools such as MATLAB and/or TCAD Simulations
• Knowledge of readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) Design & Operation
• Knowledge of Manufacturing Planning and Non-conforming Material Control
• Experience with failure analysis techniques such as 8D and Root Cause & Corrective Action reporting
