About The Position
Raytheon is hiring Software Engineer co-ops through the Raytheon Cooperative Education Program. This part-time, remote role targets senior or postgraduate students expected to graduate in December 2027. Co-ops participate in monthly engagement seminars, complete required training, take part in security clearance activities, and meet with a mentor. The role requires 2–4 hours per month for these activities and does not include an internship or direct program/project work. Upon selection, participants will be submitted for a U.S. Government security clearance. The position requires the ability to obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI clearance, and U.S. citizenship is required. Upon graduation and clearance approval, co-ops will transition to a full-time, onsite position in Richardson, Texas, supporting the design, development, and maintenance of systems for customer missions.
