Senior RF Design Engineer
About The Position
Raytheon is seeking a Senior RF Design Engineer for its Airborne Radar Electronics Hardware Engineering organization. The role contributes to the development of advanced circulators, radiators, filters, and other passive RF/microwave components used in phased array antenna systems, including Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESAs). Work includes design analysis, verification, troubleshooting, and testing of circulators, radiators, Transmit/Receive (T/R) Modules, and RF/microwave subassemblies. The engineer applies microwave measurement and verification techniques and electromagnetic simulation tools, with design experience involving printed circuit board materials and ceramic substrate technologies. The role also involves presenting technical information to peers, program leadership, and customers, and supporting program management in new business development activities. This is an on-site position in El Segundo, California. U.S. citizenship is required. The candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance; the posting specifies an active, existing DoD Secret clearance is required after day one, and also states that a DoD Secret clearance must be obtained within one year of the start date.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science degree in a STEM field, typically required.
- At least 5 years of experience simulating, testing, integrating, verifying, and/or validating RF/microwave, T/R module, or antenna products.
- Design experience in one or more of the following: phased array antennas/AESAs, modules, radiators, beam formers, power splitters, feed networks, couplers, filters, circulators, or RF assemblies.
- Experience with Keysight ADS or MATLAB Simulink.
- Experience with RF modeling tools such as CST or Ansys HFSS.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain a DoD Secret clearance within one year of the start date; the posting also states that an active and existing clearance is required after day one.
