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. Raytheon is a world leader in high altitude imaging sensors. As such, we in the Advanced Product Solutions department provide the United States Government and International Partners with remote sensing systems, for time critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. Our ISR Information and Intelligence Engineering group develops algorithms and software for processing, optimizing, and creating intelligence products from these sensors. We are seeking a Senior Electrical Design Engineer specializing in digital and high-speed processing designs. You will be responsible for developing technical solutions to a wide range of complex problems related to the entire product life cycle that includes design, prototype, manufacture, integration, test, and transition to production. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including engineering, program management, supply chain, and manufacturing. Successful candidates must adapt to rapidly changing circumstances, work under own initiative with minimal supervision/guidance, be calm under pressure, and responsive to change with a logical approach to technical problem resolution and decision making. We look forward to having you on the team. This 1st shift role will be 100% on-site and based in Westford, MA.

Requirements
