FPGA Electrical Design Engineer Intern (Summer 2027)(Onsite)

RTX•Tucson, AZ

2d•$37,000 - $82,000•Onsite

About The Position

RTX is offering an internship opportunity for an Electrical Engineer in the Effector Digital Products Department. The role involves developing FPGA designs for major vendors and device families using VHDL. These designs support applications such as gigabit serial interfaces, RF and EO Digital Signal Processing (DSP), control loops, data links, embedded processing, and processor interfaces. The engineer will collaborate with circuit card designers and systems engineers on requirements, part selection, architecture, code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs will be verified against requirements using directed test and constrained random methodologies, with support expected from requirements definition through integration, test, and production. Designs will be documented and configuration managed throughout the process. The chosen candidate will be part of multi-discipline teams supporting primarily military programs through the application of EE tools and design processes, working on the design, analysis, and support of Raytheon Missile & Defense electronics products. This may include digital, analog, power, and mixed-signal circuit card assemblies, FPGA/VHDL programming or ASIC support, sustaining and production electronics support, components engineering, and product development engineering.

Requirements

Must be pursuing Bachelor’s or Advanced degree in Electrical or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major and actively enrolled through the completion of the internship/co-op session.
Must have a minimum of 60 hours of credit by the start of the internship / co-op session.
Coursework in one or more of the following areas: circuit design, digital electronics, lab course work, PCB design and signal integrity.
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.
