Sr. Systems Engineer - Modeling Simulation & Analysis Engineer

RTX•Tucson, AZ

1d•$86,800 - $165,200•Onsite

About The Position

Raytheon is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer specializing in modeling, simulation, and analysis to contribute to multidisciplinary teams working across Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), Signal Processing, and missile- and sensor-level performance simulations. The teams develop and maintain high-fidelity performance simulations, evaluate system performance, support new business initiatives, and develop and execute technology roadmaps. This is an onsite role in Tucson, Arizona. The engineer will create high-fidelity simulations and models for missile design, performance assessment, and flight test support; develop and implement modeling solutions; and conduct trade studies and evaluations of system and subsystem performance. The role involves collaboration with other engineering disciplines, contributing to projects throughout the product lifecycle, and providing technical expertise on simulation products for a specific program. The engineer may also assist senior modeling engineers with detailed plans and interact with government counterparts as an authority on simulation products.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Engineering, Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related STEM field and at least 5 years of relevant prior experience.
Experience with object-oriented, C, or C++ software programming.
Experience using Python or MATLAB to evaluate data sets.
Experience modeling, simulating, and/or analyzing physical systems.
Ability to obtain an Interim Secret U.S. government-issued security clearance before the start date, with the ability to obtain special program access after starting; U.S. citizenship is required for security clearance eligibility.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree in Engineering, Science, Mathematics, or a related STEM field.
Experience applying systems engineering principles, working independently and/or as part of a team, and interfacing with multiple engineering disciplines.
Experience creating and/or presenting technical briefings.
Experience developing signal processing or GNC algorithms or models for missile applications.
Experience with control hardware design and testing and/or hardware and software integration.
Experience modeling physics and/or physical systems related to flight dynamics.
Experience using UNIX/Linux workstations and software configuration management tools such as Git.
Coursework or experience in radar; signal and image processing; radar and/or EO/IR environment models; digital communications; probability and statistics; linear algebra; estimation theory; optimal control; system architecture; inertial navigation; or guidance theory.

Responsibilities

Create high-fidelity simulations and models for missile design, performance assessment, and flight test support.
Develop and implement modeling solutions, then conduct trade studies and evaluate system and subsystem performance.
Work with team supervisors and provide guidance or direction to other team members.
Collaborate with GNC, Signal Processing, and other performance personnel to complete simulation activities according to program schedules.
Work across different projects, develop approaches and solutions, and provide development guidance throughout the product lifecycle from initial concept to fielded product.
Provide technical expertise for a specific program’s simulation products.
Assist Senior Modeling Engineers in preparing detailed plans and potentially interact with government counterparts as an authority on simulation products.
