About The Position

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling to help our nation and allies defend freedom 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. Systems Engineering & Test Capabilities (SE&TC) integrates, verifies, and validates our products. We put our systems together, exercise them in the lab or in the field, measure and analyze performance, and make sure our products work the first time and every time. To accomplish this, we develop plans and procedures, debug and evaluate system functions and interfaces, develop test environments, and work together with our customers. The Effectors Center in the Systems Integration and Test Directorate (SE&TC) are currently hiring a Test Architect Engineer responsible for the test strategy and architecture in support of the Sub Strategic Business Unit (SSBU) Air Dominance portfolio of programs. This leader will develop, maintain and ensure the Test Equipment (TE) development plan is achievable. Role will be the focal point to ensure a test strategy is optimized to meet program end-goal objectives. The role requires critical interaction/event planning with the Chief Engineers, Strategic Business Unit (SBU) Test Architect, software teams, Program Managers, and SE&TC test teams with a focus on test processes, embedded test, factory operations, and other functions. Join this team to perform technically challenging assignments which will directly contribute to protecting our nation and our war fighters.
