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 Systems Engineering Advanced Airborne RF Department is seeking a Senior Principal EW Algorithms Systems Engineer for an onsite role in development of state-of-the-art, airborne electronic warfare capabilities and systems.  

What You Will Do

• Achieve electronic warfare system expansion development of advanced EW algorithms and capabilities.

• Support the customer in defining their capability needs, principles, context, and scope; support program leadership in translating those needs into appropriate mathematical models as well as into quantifiable and verifiable requirements and technical metrics; use those artifacts to converge on an implementation; and implement algorithms into software.

• Evaluate technical implementation alternatives/trade-offs in support of business/mission/functional needs.

• Support the development of mathematical algorithms for mode/sensor capability implementations.

• Document the desired algorithmic implementation as well as determine how the algorithm ties into the larger capability architecture.

• Selected candidate will be expected to travel occasionally to support working groups, system integration and test, customer events, and related external activities.

Qualifications You Must Have  

• Typically requires Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years relevant EW/RF experience.

• Experience with digital signal processing algorithms and/or related theory, specifically where applicable to electronic warfare and radio communications systems. Examples of expected skillsets may include FFTs, FIRs, CICs, channelization, DDSs, MIMO processing, FE, multi-rate filtering (interpolators and decimators), OFDM, Kalman filters, estimation, classification, and machine learning algorithms, etc.

• Experience with HDL Coder and/or VHDL

• Experience in the requirements analysis, functional decomposition, design, development, testing, IV&V, calibration, and/or operation of RF systems.

• Active and transferrable final U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is required prior to start date with the ability to obtain program access after start. US citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Experience with electronic warfare systems and understanding of advanced Jamming capabilities.

• Ability to architect, develop and model complex hierarchical signal processing systems. Familiarity with interface standardization, layered architectures, and other architectural strategies employed to realize modular and extensible designs.

• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering tools such as Cameo (SysML. DODAF)

• Ability to invent, model and simulate systems and algorithms at various levels of abstraction using relevant tools, particularly Matlab, Python, C/C++, RTL, etc. Typical tasks include system analysis, modeling, and development.

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a similar STEM degree field

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.

• Not Relocation Eligible – Relocation assistance is available
