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. Raytheon is looking for a Systems Engineer to support the Transformation & Initiatives (T&I) department. The T&I department provides subject matter support focusing on driving affordability, process improvement, and cost-informed decision-making initiatives to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of systems engineering practices. The Systems Engineer will report to the Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD) Affordability Engineering section within the T&I Department. This role supports affordability, Design-to-Unit Production Cost (DTUPC), and life cycle cost activities across munitions, radar, and sensor programs. The Systems Engineer is an established professional contributor who works with limited supervision on moderately complex assignments, supporting affordability, DTUPC, and life cycle cost activities across planning, design, production, and sustainment phases, while collaborating with engineering, program management, manufacturing, and supply chain teams and receiving guidance from senior affordability engineers. This position is located onsite in Marlborough, MA.
