About The Position

Raytheon is seeking a highly motivated Power Electronics Engineer to join a multidisciplinary engineering team supporting advanced aerospace and defense programs. The engineer will contribute to the design, development, analysis, testing, and integration of power-conversion hardware for applications including airborne, space, radar, and next-generation power platforms. This P2-level role is intended for engineers with early-career experience who are ready to take technical ownership of subassemblies and work with senior engineers to deliver high-performance, high-reliability power solutions. The position is onsite in El Segundo, California. U.S. citizenship and an active, existing DoD Secret clearance are required; the candidate must also be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance. Relocation is eligible. The posted salary range is $75,800–$144,200, with potential eligibility for benefits and annual incentive compensation programs.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
At least 2 years of experience in power electronics design, analysis, or testing; work experience, co-op, and internships are accepted.
Experience with switched-mode power-converter topologies such as buck, boost, flyback, half-bridge, full-bridge, PFC, or motor control.
Experience with simulation tools such as SPICE, LTspice, PLECS, or MATLAB/Simulink.
Experience using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and electronic loads.
Experience with high-power and high-voltage safety principles.
U.S. citizenship and an active, existing DoD Secret clearance are required; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance is required.

Nice To Haves

Experience with aerospace and defense standards such as MIL-STD-704, MIL-STD-461, or DO-160.
Familiarity with DSP- or MCU-based digital control of power converters.
Experience with SiC/GaN power devices and gate-driver design.
Thermal modeling or analysis experience using ANSYS or Flotherm.
Magnetics design experience.
Knowledge of reliability analysis, derating methodologies, and WCCA.
Experience taking hardware through the full development lifecycle, from requirements and design through integration, testing, and production.

Responsibilities

Design and develop power-conversion circuits, including AC/DC and DC/DC converters, servo and motor controls, filters, and power-system architectures.
Create schematics, select components, and support PCB layout for power boards.
Perform SPICE simulation, worst-case analysis, derating, reliability assessments, and thermal modeling.
Design inductors and transformers, including performance modeling and winding specifications.
Apply SiC and GaN technologies to achieve high power density and efficiency.
Support EMI/EMC compliance through simulation, design techniques, and testing aligned with MIL-STD and aerospace standards.
Conduct hands-on lab testing, including hardware bring-up, debugging, characterization, and validation.
Develop test plans, procedures, and documentation for verification across development stages.
Collaborate with systems, digital design, mechanical and thermal engineering, manufacturing, and integration teams.
Contribute to requirements development, traceability, and design documentation.
Support root-cause analysis and production issue resolution.
Participate in design reviews, trade studies, and IRAD and technology-maturation tasks.
