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. The Precision Control Actuation System department is seeking a mechanical design engineer to join the multi-disciplinary PCAS organization to support the development, build, and verification of common control actuation systems, focused on energetic mechanism design, where the individual will specifically be responsible for a common Lock Deploy product. This role supports an integrated product team implemented across multiple programs / stakeholders with a focus on stakeholder management and therefore requires cross-functional, cross-discipline, and external collaboration. What You Will Do You will provide various mechanical engineering support for a common CAS, depending on needs of the adopters, support needs may fluctuate. Based on skillsets, support may include but not limited to detailed mechanical design, earned value management, test design and execution, and systems engineering. You will be expected to flex responsibilities based on the current needs of the organization and their respective skill sets. At this grade level, you will be expected to work autonomously with regular and periodic supervision, have theoretical to advanced knowledge of the control mechanism development domain, and influence others through explanation of facts, policies and practices. What You Will Learn The PCAS organization provides ample opportunities for hands-on hardware work, with a dedicated lab space at our Huntsville and Tucson facility. You will be exposed to a variety of lab activities including engineering builds, hardware integration, hardware tuning, and hardware verification. You will be provided a strong technical learning environment with a dedicated control system technology pyramid comprised of engineering fellows. PCAS mechanical engineers are provided the opportunity for direct access to these subject matter experts, fostering accelerated technical growth. Mentor relationships are encouraged.
