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 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. Do you have a passion for LO technology? Would you enjoy working at both an outdoor RCS range and a large indoor RCS chamber to support our nation’s security? If you answered "yes" to these questions, our Signature Management & Technology team at our Tucson, AZ, facility wants to hear from you! Raytheon is an industry leader in Stealth Technology. We are involved in all phases of development, production, and maintenance of Low Observable (LO) weapon systems. We are currently looking for Stealth / Low Observable / Radar Cross Section (RCS) / Signature Management / Survivability Engineers to work on challenging, state of the art technical projects. What You Will Do As an Engineering Subject Matter Expert in Signature Management & Technology, you will serve as a strategic leader who will define where a program or product line is heading or needs to go, while considering the technical and programmatic aspects of how to get there. You will also drive the execution of that strategy across multiple programs. Strong advocate for technical integrity of Signature Management & Technology disciplines such as signal processing, computational electromagnetics, testing, and materials across multiple programs and product lines. You will be viewed as an expert and serve as a subject matter expert to the organization in determining and developing required technologies to achieve organization growth objectives in signature management and low observable technologies. Technical lead in a team environment on multiple projects, providing independently determined solutions to create high fidelity simulations and models for missile system design, performance assessment, flight test support, trade studies and analysis. Provides mentorship and shoulder-to-shoulder empirical experience for engineers. Works independently or through leadership of teams to solve the hardest signature management challenges.

Requirements

Typically requires a Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 12 years of prior Low Observables or Signature Management or Computation Electromagnetic Codes, Stealth or Survivability engineering technology experience. OR an Advance Degree in a related field and a minimum of 9 years’ experience.
Experience with Infrared signature analysis and/or control
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.

Nice To Haves

Working knowledge of computational electromagnetic codes to include full wave codes, as well as asymptotic techniques using industry standard tools such as XPATCH, CARLOS, SENTRi, etc.
Infrared (IR) signature analysis and reduction experience including IR CEM tools
Strong interpersonal communication and effective personal interaction and collaboration with engineering team and customers
Master’s degree in physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
Integrated Product Team (IPT) leadership
Proposal Writing and Basis of Estimate (BOE) development experience.
