  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.

  Job Summary:

  The Flight Avionics Team provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Flight Avionics solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our team develops missile Flight Avionics Hardware. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, analysis, 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 missile level systems teams.

  The Flight Avionics Team is searching for a Sr. RF Engineer with experience in developing RF subsystems, Radars or RF seekers. The role of the RF subsystem engineer is to design, develop and maintain RF architectures. Architecture development includes requirements, analysis and modelling. RF subsystem engineer collaborates with missile level system engineers in developing requirements for the subsystem. They perform evaluation and modeling to decompose requirements for RF sub-assemblies and component designs.

  What You Will Do :

  • Architect RF power systems, including detailed analysis to ensure compliance to requirements

  • Work with detailed designers in the overall design of the RF power system into a schematic

  • Work with production personnel on yield of both RF/Power Circuit Card Assemblies and higher level subassemblies

  • Make technical trade-offs for the component selection criteria in the design

  • Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination.

  • Assignments may include evaluation of hardware designs, subsystems, and components; 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.

  • RTX has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees.

  • Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination.

  • Assignments may require supporting multiple programs.

  • Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel.

  Qualifications You Must Have :

  • Typically requires a Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM and a minimum of 5 years of engineering experience. An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for additional years of experience as follows: Master’s is equal to 2 years of experience or a Ph.D. is equal to 4 years of experience.

  • Experience with electrical hardware development

  • Experience in sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development and/or requirement validation

  • Experience in developing RF electrical subsystems.

  • Active and transferable U.S. government issued 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 :

  • Missile Radar and RF seeker subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in detailed design and troubleshooting of one or more of these components in RF applications. Ideal candidates will also have some experience in systems engineering and architecture and have a desire to grow into a guidance section architect.

  • Experience working with missiles or similar systems.

  • Knowledge of mixed signal electronics.

  • Knowledge of DOD Hardware development process (knowledge of design gates).

  • Knowledge and/or experience with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE)

  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.
