EO Optical Engineer II (Onsite)

RTX•Tucson, AZ

8d•$68,900 - $131,100•Onsite

About The Position

The Raytheon Electro-Optics (EO) department is responsible for requirements decomposition, detailed design, and production support of EO sensors and seekers, including detectors, cryogenic systems, and supporting structures. The multidisciplinary department designs, models, analyzes, and verifies optical components and the structures and mechanisms that support or move them, as well as cryogenic systems that cool and maintain EO detector temperatures. Engineers communicate detector interface and performance requirements to suppliers and verify compliance, and apply multiple engineering disciplines to assemble, test, and verify optical, electrical, and mechanical components as they are integrated into sensor/seeker subsystems. The EO Optical Engineer II participates in program activities as a mentee and individual contributor. The role involves optical alignment and testing, EO modeling and analysis, requirements and trade studies, and design of optical and opto-mechanical seeker systems or missile test fixtures. The engineer also supports troubleshooting, production assembly and documentation, failure analysis, and corrective actions for hardware and process issues, including issues involving suppliers.

Requirements

Master's degree in Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related STEM major, obtained before the start date.

U.S. citizenship is required because only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
An active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before the start date.
Ability to obtain an interim U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before the start date.

Nice To Haves

ABET-accredited education; preferred but not required.
Cumulative GPA of 3.0 desired.
Ability to develop and present technical briefings.
Current or active DoD security clearance or SSBI.
Experience in troubleshooting investigations and processes.
Experience with test equipment, test automation scripting, test conduction, and sensor control.

Responsibilities

Participate as a mentee and individual contributor supporting program activities.
Perform optical alignment and testing of optics assemblies.
Use electro-optical modeling, simulation, and analysis applications.
Develop and validate requirements and conduct subsystem trade studies.
Design optical and opto-mechanical seeker systems and/or test fixtures for missiles.
Work with engineering and production personnel to troubleshoot issues and provide root-cause analysis and corrective actions for design and process problems.
Support production-related assembly and documentation of electro-optical subsystems.
Troubleshoot hardware and process issues down to circuit card assembly (CCA) and component levels.
Resolve issues on production lines and during testing, including issues involving suppliers.
Conduct failure analysis, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions.
