About The Position

Raytheon’s Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department develops guidance-section electronics architectures, supports subsystem analysis, integration and test, provides program leadership, and supports GPS/IMU activities. The department is seeking a Navigation/IMU engineer to work with experienced engineers in selecting IMUs and integrating them into navigation subsystems. The role requires understanding how IMUs work and are tested, analyzing performance data, and familiarity with serial interfaces, hardware integration and test, and IMU integration into guidance and navigation systems. The engineer should be able to independently set up tests to verify IMU performance and analyze results. The role is primarily office-based, with possible work in labs or the field. Assignments may involve supporting multiple programs and may require travel, including international travel. The employee works in a multidisciplinary program Integrated Product Team, independently handling broad assignments with little supervision while communicating progress, issues, and accomplishments to leadership and customers. Raytheon expects employees to serve as both mentors and mentees.
