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 Flight Avionics Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams.

The Flight Avionics Department is searching for a Sr. Principal Guidance Section (GS) Integrated Product Team Lead (IPTL) with experience leading a multi-disciplinary system design and integration team. The role of the GS IPTL is to lead a cross-functional and cross-discipline team of engineers through the design cycle for mechanical and harness development and integration of a guidance section. This role will include Control Account Management (CAM) responsibilities so Earned Value (EV) certification is required.

What You Will Do:

• Be responsible for the technical integrity of the GS, including the Technical Data Package (TDP) development, validation, and integration
• Manage costs and schedule for GS design and verification through the EMD contract.
• Manage the technical risk for the GS
• Technical oversight of GS failure investigations
• Support component level design and test reviews
• Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination.
• Assignments may include guiding a team through several phases of hardware systems lifecycle such as designs and analysis; architecting new electronic systems; developing and documenting subsystem requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root-cause failure investigations.
• Raytheon has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees.
• Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level management.
• Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience in one or more of the following areas:  
• RF product and subassembly design, integration, and production support
• Analog, digital, and power electronics design, integration, and production support
• Deconvolving high level requirements into actionable design electronics and subsystem architectures
• Experience in RF sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development, requirement validation, Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) Design, RF Test Integration (including RF Test Solutions), and/or RF Supplier Management on an effector-based product
• Prior experience as a technical leader on a complex subsystem
• 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:

• Prior experience as a technical leader on a complex subsystem during Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) Phase
• Advanced Degree in engineering, mathematics, physics, or related engineering degrees.
• Systems engineering thought process with analytical skills background.
• Highly self-motivated individual that can perform multidiscipline work
• Electrical subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in design
