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 Flight Avionics 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, 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 Flight Avionics Department is searching for an Electrical Subsystems GS Technical Lead with experience leading large complex teams, conducting trade studies, defining interfaces in multiple domains (Hardware and Software), and materializing conceptual designs that integrate into a system of systems. The role of the GS Technical Lead is to lead a cross-functional and cross-discipline team of engineers through product development. The Technical Lead provides both technical guidance and supervision in meeting project commitment. They also manage suppliers and may lead efforts in proposal development. What You Will Do Be responsible for the technical integrity of the GS, including the Technical Data Package (TDP) development, validation, and integration Manage the technical risk for the GS Technical oversight of GS failure investigations Support component level design and test reviews Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination. Work with suppliers and customer for procuring and demonstrating capabilities in lab or field environments. Assignments may include guiding a team through several phases of hardware systems lifecycle such as designs and analysis; architecting new electronic systems; developing and documenting subsystem requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root-cause failure investigations. Raytheon has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees. Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel. Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level management. Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers.

Requirements

Typically requires a bachelor’s in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience
