Senior Systems Engineer - Radar System Integration & Test

RTX•El Segundo, CA

1d•$95,500 - $181,700•Onsite

About The Position

The Space & Airborne Center within Systems Integration & Test is seeking Senior Systems Engineers. Our Space & Airborne integrates hardware and software, develop test plans and procedures, debug and evaluate system functions and interfaces, and verify system requirements in support of final sell-off to the customer. We put our systems together, exercise them in the lab or in the field, measure and analyze performance, and make sure our products work the first time and every time. Every day is a different set of challenges to overcome. You'll be expected to collaborate across disciplines and partner to implement solutions. In this role, you'll get to know a little bit about every aspect of the system and have a direct hand in making it all work together supporting teams of engineers engaged in integration and test efforts. Our center focuses on back-end sustainment and repair design and sustainment development as well as transitioning systems through integration and test from production to warranty/sustainment. You will also perform functional / physical analysis, allocation, and trade studies. This position is an onsite role in El Segundo, California.
