Job Summary:

The Electro-Optics Department within Raytheon is currently searching for a Manager Optical Subsystems Engineer with experience in electro-optics. This candidate shall be able to perform a broad range of electro-optical (EO) subsystem engineering tasks related to infrared advanced missile seekers and guidance subsystems as a Section Lead:  develop EO sensor system simulations and conduct analyses to characterize EO performance for developmental and production deliverable seeker assets based on laboratory data;  develop requirements and conduct requirement validation of EO subsystems based on analysis and/or testing;  develop and conduct EO subsystem trade studies; work across multiple engineering disciplines including EO hardware design (detector, optics, cryogenic systems, opto-mechanical), video electronics, EO integration and verification, video signal processing, missile simulation and analysis, and system engineering to establish multi-disciplinary technical solutions for EO products which ensure design integrity and operational performance under all applicable environments.

What You Will Do:

Responsibilities will be split between supporting Effector EO Subsystem program(s) as an engineer (~90%) and providing functional support to the section “Sensor/Seeker Subsystems” (~10%).

Engineering Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Candidate will work within a multi-disciplined team, as well as: Work independently, with little supervision.
• Develop a network and know when to use it to get help.
• Ensure proper engineering discipline is applied to all designs.
• Provide the best technical solution within cost and schedule constraints.

Section Leader Responsibilities to Anticipate:

As a Section Leader, your responsibilities include working closely with the Effector EO Subsystems Department Leader and other Section Leaders to align the department with company direction.  Section Leaders are trustworthy and accountable, willing and able to coach and mentor section members and hold critical conversations.

• Support and/or drive department initiatives and goals
• Promote collaboration across functional and program boundaries
• Balancing staffing needs and align with section member growth
• Modeling and Driving Raytheon Values and Behaviors
• Support section member performance, career development, and growth throughout the year
• Elicit and compile performance feedback to support Performance Impact
• Hold required formal Mid-Year and Year-End Performance Impact discussions where complied feedback, key strengths and development needs, are conveyed.

Qualifications You Must Have:

·         Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Optics or related STEM degree and a minimum of 8 years of Engineering experience to include any of the following:

• Experience with EO simulation, analysis, and/or hardware laboratory testing.
• Experience using Computer Analysis Tools (such as: MATLAB, Python, or IDL)
• Experience with EO hardware (such as: detectors, optics, cryogenic systems, gimbal platforms, or video electronics)
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance. US citizenship is required as only US citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Experience with space based EO subsystems and/or missile EO products
• A current Top-Secret DoD security clearance
• A Master of Science degree in EE, Optics, Physics, or Systems
