About The Position

Raytheon’s Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities Surface Radars & Sensors Center is seeking a Principal Systems Engineer to join the Systems Integration & Test Long Range Radars Department in Woburn, Massachusetts. The department provides expertise in concept development, architectural design, requirements generation and flow-down, modeling and simulation, systems analysis, integration, test, and evaluation of missile defense and sensor systems. The successful candidate will help grow the team’s capabilities and collaborate with internal and external customers. The role focuses on developing and documenting Ground-Based Radar (GBR) systems, including system architectures, requirements, algorithms, test scenarios, and verification approaches. The engineer will analyze requirements and benchmark algorithm designs to validate system-level performance against operational objectives, working closely with software and integration/test engineering teams. The position is onsite in Woburn, MA and requires U.S. citizenship and an active, transferable U.S. government security clearance before starting; the posting also states an ability to obtain an interim clearance is required before the start date.
