Raytheon's Receiver/Exciter & Processing Architecture (REPA) Department is the focal point for receiver, exciter, beam steering, and signal processing technology within the company. Our department is responsible for the design, development, integration, and lifecycle support of Raytheon's radar product portfolio. We are seeking a Senior Hardware Integration, Analysis & Test Engineer excited about the opportunity to sit at the intersection of radar hardware, firmware, software, and signal processing and make it all work together. Join a growing Integration & Test Suite (ITS) team whose common toolset currently supports more than six active radar programs across S-, C-, X-, and UHF-Band systems. If you're someone who gets more satisfaction from building a tool that eliminates a problem forever than from fixing the same issue over and over, this opportunity is for you.

Responsibilities

Write, use, and maintain software that controls, tests, and characterizes real radar hardware — from module level all the way to system integration.
Dig into RF and IQ data to find the root cause of hard problems — the kind where the answer isn't obvious and the stakes are real.
Perform Receiver/Exciter hardware, software, and firmware design verification tests across multiple radar bands and programs and figure out what the data is telling you.
Build data analysis tools that give engineers and technicians answers faster — and eventually, building Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning tools do some of the heavy lifting.
Work directly with hardware designers, firmware developers, software and systems engineers — you'll need to speak all four languages.
Hands on hardware test and troubleshooting.
Own your work: if you build it, you'll support it, improve it, and teach others how to use it.
Operate across multiple Raytheon sites and interface directly with program engineering, production, and systems teams.
