Senior Electrical Engineer
About The Position
The Raytheon Electronic Warfare Electrical and Electronics Engineering team in Goleta, California, is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to design and develop electronic products for defense applications. The role focuses on airborne electronic products and radar warning receivers (RWRs) and other electronic warfare (EW) systems, meeting size, weight, power, reliability, and cost requirements. The work spans mixed-signal circuits, including power, analog, digital, FPGA, SoC, and subsystem designs. It includes hardware architecture, schematic capture, design analysis, simulation, and hands-on laboratory validation and troubleshooting of complex electronic assemblies and systems. The engineer may lead discipline activities on smaller programs or support multiple programs concurrently, producing requirements documentation, design artifacts, verification and test plans, trade studies, failure analyses and corrective actions, presentations, and other documentation. The role may also involve mentoring and overseeing junior team members and improving processes and documentation. This is an onsite position at Raytheon's Goleta, California campus. U.S. citizenship and an active, existing DoD Secret clearance are required; the job posting also states that the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance is required.
Requirements
- Typically, a STEM degree and at least 5 years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field and at least 3 years of experience.
- Experience in at least one of the following areas: schematic capture, PCB layout support, signal integrity analysis, and validation of FPGA-based digital and mixed-signal systems, including power conversion and power delivery network design; electronic design and simulation tools; or system-level block diagrams, hardware architectures, and detailed bills of materials for complex electronic assemblies.
- U.S. citizenship; only U.S. citizens are eligible for the required security clearance.
- An active and existing DoD Secret clearance is required after day 1.
Nice To Haves
- Experience designing FPGA-based circuitry and programming FPGA devices using JTAG.
- Electrical design and analysis experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition, HyperLynx SI, and SPICE.
- Experience designing circuit card assemblies with FPGAs, flash memory, DDR RAM, ADCs, DACs, power-conversion integrated circuits, and supporting analog circuits.
- Experience with RF components or specifications and creating point-of-load (POL) supplies for RF circuitry.
- Experience with electronic design and simulation tools such as Mentor Xpedition or equivalent schematic/layout platforms, SPICE-based simulators, MATLAB, and HyperLynx SI for high-speed signal integrity analysis.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop airborne electronic products while meeting size, weight, power, reliability, and cost requirements.
- Work across mixed-signal circuits, including power, analog, digital, FPGA, SoC, and subsystem designs.
- Develop digital and analog hardware architectures; perform schematic capture, design analysis, and simulation.
- Conduct hands-on laboratory validation and troubleshooting of complex electronic assemblies and systems.
- Support radar warning receivers and other electronic warfare products, including their RF circuitry and system interfaces.
- Lead discipline activities for smaller programs and/or support multiple programs concurrently.
- Generate requirements documentation, design artifacts, verification and test plans, trade studies, failure root-cause analyses and corrective actions, presentations, and other documentation.
- Mentor and oversee lower-level team members and improve processes and documentation.
Benefits
- Compensation and healthcare, wellness, and work/life benefits.
- Career development and recognition programs.
- Parental leave, including paternal leave.
- Flexible work schedules.
- Achievement awards.
