RF System Engineer II

RTX•Mckinney, TX

5h•Onsite

About The Position

The Advanced Airborne RF Sensors department within the Space and Airborne Systems Engineering & Test Capability (SE&TC) Center is seeking Systems Engineers to support the integration, test, and verification of advanced airborne sensor systems. Based in North Texas, this team brings together hardware and software, develops test plans and procedures, debugs system functions and interfaces, and verifies system requirements leading up to final customer sell‑off. In this role, you will work across the full system lifecycle, gaining exposure to radar mode requirements, engineering test, integration and flight test, production, deployment, and post deployment support. You will contribute to lab and field activities, analyze performance data, help resolve system issues, and ensure systems operate as designed. This position offers hands‑on involvement with complex sensor systems, close collaboration across disciplines, and opportunities to apply Digital Engineering practices including Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Agile product development. You will work alongside teams of engineers driving successful integration and test efforts for high impact airborne missions. This position is an onsite role in McKinney, Texas.
