About The Position

Raytheon's Effector Analog & Power (EAP) Team is seeking a Principal Telemetry (TM) and Flight Termination Systems (FTS) Engineer to provide technical leadership, develop advanced system architectures, and drive execution for Telemetry (TM) and Flight Termination Systems (FTS). The Effector Power Department is responsible for the development, from concept to integration, of Telemetry and Flight Termination products; power systems from all up round to the lowest level power regulation; servo electronics supporting all mechanical motion in our products and low noise mixed signal electronics that provides the analog to digital interface to our front-end sensors. Each of these products generally operate in lower power and voltage ranges less than 10kW and 1000V. The TM/FTS team develops system designs focused on supporting effector flight tests. We adhere to rigorous standards from the Range Commanders Council, Federal Communications Commission, and the National Security Agency in the design and utilization of our products.

Requirements

A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience; or Advanced degree in STEM and a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.
Experience with electronics design at the system and/or subsystem level.
Experience generating and/or utilizing electrical design specifications.
Deep experience with analog and mixed-signal circuit design (FET/BJT circuits, op‑amps, filters, A/D converters, level shifting, termination, comparators, load switches, etc.).
Experience with analysis tools (MATLAB, MathCAD, Mathematica, or similar).
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

Lead system and circuit-level architecture design activities for TM and FTS subsystems.
Serve as the Responsible Engineering Authority (REA) for complex TM and FTS designs.
Drive full lifecycle development of PCBA-level designs, from requirements definition through integration and qualification.
Lead technical reviews, failure investigations, supplier engagements, and cross-functional task teams.
Oversee or perform analog and mixed-signal circuit design, analysis, simulation, testing, and documentation.
Independently generate the engineering artifacts required to demonstrate compliance with program, performance, and regulatory requirements.
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and shape team-level engineering best practices.
