About The Position

The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Data Link/Communication, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams. The AEGS Department is searching for a Guidance Electronics Unit (GEU) Portfolio Manager with experience managing a complex, high dollar value Earned Value (EV) effort and supporting multiple critical, fast paced programs with GEU deliveries. The GEUs used by this portfolio, consisting of several large programs, are developed, manufactured, and tested by a separate GEU program. The role of the GEU Portfolio Manager is to be the manager, Point of Contact (POC) and Control Account Management (CAM) for all GEU activities across the portfolio. The GEU Portfolio Manager has the high impact and high visibility role of ensuring that all programs in the portfolio receive GEUs that meet their schedule and technical needs. Given the criticality of the programs and the GEUs to their execution, the GEU Portfolio Manager will proactively coordinate and communicate with all portfolio programs and at the portfolio level. This role will include CAM responsibilities so EV certification is required and the candidate is expected to already have or be able to obtain at least a Level 5 EV certification.
