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 Effector Subsystems Products (ESP) department develops electronics for weapon system products. We engage at the outset of the weapon system development and follow our designs through deployment. Our products are deployed all over the world, from the ground to exoatmospheric environments and into space. We are responsible for the architecture, design, and documentation of deliverable FPGA embedded processing at Raytheon. We are seeking a highly motivated, technically strong Product Owner to lead the development and lifecycle strategy for configurable logic products across our Electrical Engineering organization. In this role, you will define and prioritize product features, collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, and ensure delivery of high‑quality, mission‑critical configurable logic solutions that meet customer, program, and enterprise needs. This position requires deep familiarity with FPGA development flows, hardware/software interactions, and the unique constraints associated with configurable logic in embedded and system-level architectures.
