About The Position

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today's mission and stay ahead of tomorrow's threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. We have an exciting opportunity for a Systems Engineer II – Modeling, Simulation & Analysis supporting one of our premier programs within Raytheon, an RTX Business. In this role, your experience with modeling and simulation, systems engineering analysis, software development, and performance assessment will be instrumental in the development of next-generation missile and sensor systems. You will work across integrated product teams consisting of Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC), Signal Processing, and Performance Simulation engineers to develop and evaluate high-fidelity simulation environments that support mission success. The work is on-site in Aurora, CO.

Requirements

Typically requires a Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience.
Experience developing software using object-oriented programming principles with C and/or C++.
Experience using Python and/or MATLAB to analyze engineering data and develop modeling solutions.
Experience developing models, simulations, or engineering analyses supporting complex technical systems.
Active and transferable DoD Secret U.S. government-issued security clearance is required prior to the start date, with the ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP) after start.
