Electrical Test Engineer I
About The Position
Join our Test Solutions Engineering team within the Hardware Discipline Center at Raytheon, where you will be at the heart of hardware innovation developing cutting-edge electrical solutions for mission-critical defense systems. In this role, you will have a hands-on opportunity to design, build, and integrate state-of-the-art electrical test systems supporting complex defense products across their entire lifecycle—from high-tech engineering development labs to factory production, field operations, and long-term sustainment. Working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering team, you will ensure our test equipment meets the highest technical, performance, and reliability standards.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline. Degree must be obtained by start date.
- Experience selecting, calculating values for, and integrating passive and active electronic components (such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors) within analog or digital circuit designs.
- Experience operating laboratory test and measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, waveform/function generators, spectrum analyzers, or network analyzers) to test hardware, interface with sensors, or measure electrical signals.
- Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, labs or projects.
- 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
- Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date
Nice To Haves
