Signal Processing Systems Engineer II
About The Position
The Signal Processing team in Raytheon’s Processing, Guidance and Controls Center is seeking a Systems Engineer II – Signal Processing engineer in Tucson, Arizona. The role contributes to missile systems program objectives by applying theoretical to advanced signal processing knowledge. The engineer collaborates on the design, development, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of radio frequency (RF) or electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) algorithms and models. These algorithms support sensor data calibration and denoising, detection, acquisition, tracking and classification of objects of interest, and sensor fusion. The position uses and modifies simulations and participates in engineering lab work to test, verify, and validate sensor models and algorithm performance against requirements. It focuses on algorithm integration into hardware and collaboration across development phases, from program start-up through live-fire testing, including design reviews, peer reviews, and technical briefings. The position is onsite in Tucson, Arizona. An active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required before starting; U.S. citizenship is required for eligibility, and the candidate must be able to obtain an interim Secret clearance and later special program access.
Requirements
- A degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of relevant prior experience.
- Experience with the C programming language, or object-oriented programming experience with C++, C#, and/or Java.
- Experience with algorithm design, implementation, analysis, testing, and/or optimization.
- Ability to obtain and maintain an interim Secret U.S. government-issued security clearance before the start date, and ability to obtain special program access after starting.
- U.S. citizenship, as required for security clearance eligibility.
Nice To Haves
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or Applied Mathematics.
