Raytheon’s Vision Systems is seeking a talented Senior Electronics Engineer to work onsite in Goleta, CA for electronics product development for defense applications.
The role includes electronics design engineering for design, analysis, validation, test, and support of digital and analog circuits for Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS) subsystems. Occasional travel (5-10%) may be required to other Raytheon facilities and supplier or customer sites.

What You Will Do

• Advanced digital interface design, and FPGA-based circuit designs, including high speed digital design, DAC and ADC interfaces, DDR3/4/5 interfaces, various Ethernet copper and optical interfaces.  Low power bias power conversion circuitry, and some medium power power conversion circuitry design conversion circuit designs.

• Program level design support. The role may include REA (Responsible Engineering Authority) oversight, will include some RVS program level bidding and proposal development.

• Schematic generation, component parts selection, and component specification generation.

• Circuit card layout using ECAD design and layout tools required, and layout design verification tools.

• Design to applications that will/may have Mil-Std-461 EMI/EMC requirements imposed.

• On-site laboratory product development, manufacturing support, and system integration test support, including generation of acceptance test procedure.

• Worst case circuit analysis and derating, design obsolescence, failure investigations.

• Supplier support, including generation of high speed interface circuit and component specification control drawings, with review of supplier manufacturing and design processes, and support to supplier qualification
