Part Time Systems Engineer Co-Op (Remote)
About The Position
Raytheon is hiring Systems Engineering and Test Engineer co-ops for its Cooperative Education Program. This part-time, remote co-op is intended for senior or postgraduate students expecting to graduate in December 2027. It does not include an internship or direct program/project work. Participants will spend 2–4 hours per month on engagement seminars, required training, security clearance activities, and meetings with a mentor. Upon selection, participants will be submitted for a U.S. government security clearance; an active and existing TS/SCI clearance without polygraph is required after day one, and U.S. citizenship is required. The co-op provides exposure to customer-domain mission concepts and technologies; systems engineering principles, including requirements, architecture, design, and test; software engineering approaches, artificial intelligence, and agile development; and platform and software infrastructure basics, including continuous integration and delivery. After graduation and clearance approval, co-ops will transition to a full-time, onsite position in Aurora, Colorado, supporting the design, development, and maintenance of systems for customer missions.
