1d•$86,800 - $165,200•Onsite

About The Position

Raytheon’s Effector RF Design Team is seeking a Senior Engineer to lead and shape the design and implementation of antenna, radome, and/or radar cross section (RCS) ranges and chambers. The role includes leading project teams, providing technical oversight, delegating tasks, and working with the Engineering organization to establish technology roadmaps, support modernization, and contribute to innovation. The successful candidate will work with government personnel and programs and define and refine requirements to validate range and chamber compliance. This is an onsite position in Tucson, Arizona. The position involves developing ranges and chambers for antennas, radomes, advanced sensor systems, and/or RCS, coordinating with interdisciplinary engineering teams and suppliers, and overseeing implementation of new ranges and chambers. An active, transferable U.S. government security clearance is required before starting; U.S. citizenship is required for clearance eligibility.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM).
At least 5 years of prior relevant experience, which may include experience testing antennas or radomes in a chamber or test range; operating an antenna, radome, and/or RCS chamber or range; and knowledge of antenna and/or sensor measurement theory and range operation.
Ability to obtain an interim U.S. government-issued security clearance before the start date and ability to obtain special program access after starting.
U.S. citizenship is required because only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
