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 Raytheon San Diego site builds and sustains magnetics products for the Aegis and Patriot radar systems, including electrical transformers, power supplies, coils, and other magnetic assemblies. We are in the middle of an exciting transformation from a depot and repair operation into a full manufacturing facility, and we're looking for a Senior Lab & Operations Supervisor to help build the foundation that growth depends on. In this role, you will own the day-to-day health of our labs and production areas: safety, compliance, property, equipment, facilities, and 5S. You'll partner closely with our Cell Leaders, managing programs and projects while they execute on the floor, and you'll develop into a Cell Leader yourself by taking on front-line supervisory tasks as you grow. This is an ideal role for someone who likes structure, takes pride in a well-run shop, and wants a clear path into production leadership at a site where their work will visibly shape what we become.
