About The Position

Raytheon’s Electrical Systems Engineering team develops Guidance Electronics solutions and missile guidance electronics hardware across the Raytheon portfolio. The Senior Subsystem Engineer integrates and validates electronics designs during program development. This includes testing hardware, assessing performance, resolving failures, conducting analysis and modeling, and preparing test reports. The engineer collaborates with design teams to influence design iterations and works with missile-level integration engineers to hand off and support hardware. The work is primarily in an office and laboratory environment, with possible occasional field work and travel, including foreign travel. The role may involve leading multiple efforts across one or more programs, working independently or within multidisciplinary teams, and collaborating with management, customers, and suppliers. Employees are expected to serve as both mentors and mentees.

Requirements

Typically requires a bachelor’s degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) and at least 5 years of relevant experience with electrical hardware development and/or testing.
At least 5 years of experience in one or more of the following: RF product and subassembly design, integration, and production or supplier support; analog and power subassembly design, integration, and production or supplier support; or digital or mixed-signal subassembly design, integration, and production or supplier support.
Experience in requirements development and requirements validation.
An active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before the start date; U.S. citizenship is required.
