About The Position

At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company with 185,000 employees, great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. Raytheon, a part of RTX, brings over 100 years of experience and engineering expertise to deliver solutions that help defend nations and deter aggression. The Software Product Assurance Center’s Software Security Sensors and Effectors Department is seeking a highly skilled individual to join its software team. This role involves employing Agile development techniques on embedded targets to continuously develop and deploy critical capabilities to the warfighter. The team emphasizes technical excellence, drawing on a workforce with extensive knowledge in modern computing languages and platforms. As a professional embedded software engineer, the candidate will be responsible for software and firmware design, development, integration, and testing of real-time embedded solutions with application software, with a strong focus on overall system integrity. This includes collaborating with Systems engineering to generate design concepts and system architectural documentation, and supporting the decomposition of these documents into requirements for software development. The ideal candidate will also participate in Technical Integration Meetings with subcontractors to ensure hardware meets both hardware and software requirements. The role requires applying embedded principles to design and develop hardened software applications using C and C++ on various computing platforms running Linux and other real-time operating systems. Additionally, the candidate will ensure consistency across teams and remove impediments as they arise.
