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 Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Data Link/Communication, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams. The AEGS Department is searching for an Electrical Subsystems Digital Principal Engineer with experience leading or supporting a multi-disciplinary system design and integration team. The role of the Principal Engineer will be to lead or support digital design efforts, digital subsystem architecture design or initial integration efforts of development guidance systems. This role may include Control Account Management (CAM) responsibilities so Earned Value (EV) certification is preferred.

Requirements

Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience
Eight years of experience in one or more of the following areas: Analog, digital, and power electronics design, integration, and production support
Decomposition of high-level requirements into actionable design electronics and subsystem architecture
Subsystem architectural design
Experience in Digital sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development, requirement validation, Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) Design, Digital Test Integration and/or Digital Supplier Management on an effector-based product

Nice To Haves

Proficient in digital design tools for CCA Schematic Capture, Interconnect Capture and Harness Design
Prior experience as a technical leader on a complex subsystem during Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) Phase
Advanced degree in engineering, mathematics, physics, or related engineering degrees.
Systems engineering thought process with analytical skills background.
Highly self-motivated individual that can perform multidiscipline work
Electrical subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in designing and troubleshooting of one or more of these components. Ideal candidates will also have experience in project leadership, systems engineering and architecture and have a desire to grow to a higher level.
Able to network and/or influence outside of the AEGS Department with other design and production support organizations, program leadership, other engineering disciplines and Manufacturing organizations.
Interpersonal skills with the ability to interact positively with peers, suppliers, management, and customers in a production environment.
Proven experience in balancing engineering process discipline and innovation for rapid development and program success.
Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
Ability to effectively work multiple tasks and priorities.
Knowledge of mixed signal electronics.
Practical experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle.
Experience in developing proposals.
Experience leading large, complex trade studies
Experience developing and materializing conceptual designs and integrating them into a system of systems

Responsibilities

Lead or Support Digital Design Efforts for development guidance systems
Enhance electrical engineering skills by working with digital and/or analog hardware testing and debugging complex circuit card assemblies or electro-mechanical systems. Prior hands-on troubleshooting experience is preferred
Support component level design and test reviews
Raytheon has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees
Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level management.
Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers
Assignment may require some travel (~25%)
Assignments may include being a team member or guiding a team through several phases of hardware systems lifecycle such as designs and analysis; architecting new electronic systems; developing and documenting subsystem requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root-cause failure investigations
