Multi Discipline Engineer
About The Position
The Multi Discipline Engineer will work onsite in Raytheon’s Materials Engineering Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona. The role solves engineering problems by conducting chemical analysis of materials such as adhesives, polymers, tapes, composites, metals, and other production materials. The work includes assessing material conformance to specifications and performing root-cause failure analysis using instrumental analysis methods, including spectroscopy, chromatography, and thermal analysis. This is not a research position. It focuses on producing timely engineering solutions, often within days or weeks. The engineer will work on a multidisciplinary team, collaborate with engineers, subject matter experts, and suppliers, and manage simultaneous tasks to meet schedules. Much of the work takes place in a laboratory and may be repetitive. The role requires careful attention to detail and the ability to lift 22 pounds. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and have an active, transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance before starting. The posting also states that the ability to obtain an interim U.S. government-issued clearance is required before the start date.
Requirements
- A university degree or equivalent experience and at least 2 years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field.
