Systems Engineering Co-op

RTX•Tewksbury, MA

2d•Onsite

About The Position

The Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities team in Woburn, Massachusetts integrates hardware and software, develops test plans and procedures, debugs and evaluates system functions and interfaces, and verifies system requirements in support of customer sell-off. The co-op will support engineering teams engaged in integration and test, gaining exposure to multiple aspects of the system and helping implement solutions across disciplines. The role supports work across the product lifecycle, including program development, engineering testing, integration, flight testing, production, system deployment, and post-deployment support. It is primarily onsite in Woburn. Test-event support may involve travel, which is not expected to exceed 20%.

Requirements

Must be pursuing a bachelor's or advanced degree in, or related to, a STEM major and remain actively enrolled through completion of the co-op session.
Must have at least 60 credit hours by the start of the co-op session.
Experience troubleshooting technical issues in an academic or internship setting, including use of common commercial test equipment such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. Experience may come from on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.
U.S. citizenship is required because only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
An active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance is required prior to the start date; ability to obtain an interim U.S. government-issued security clearance is also required prior to the start date.

Experience with MATLAB or Python scripting for instrumentation, collection of large data sets, data analysis, and automation.
Experience with electrical schematics, interface control documentation, and communications protocols.

Responsibilities

Support engineering activities related to hardware and software testing and troubleshooting.
Perform functional analysis of real-world and test data and support trade studies for advanced features on fielded systems.
Support troubleshooting and failure-data analysis, including root-cause and corrective-action processes and use of laboratory or field test equipment.
Provide system integration and test support, potentially including live-fire test events.
Complete and compile detailed performance evaluations using analysis tools such as MATLAB.
Support product qualification.
Support sustainment, depot returns, and repair.
Maintain engineering specifications, including DS and ARD, and drawings such as schematics and assembly drawings.
Prepare and present results in reports and briefings to internal or external stakeholders.
Maintain engineering databases.
Participate in team meetings, interface teleconferences, and working-group meetings.
Support program development, engineering testing, integration, flight testing, production, system deployment, and/or post-deployment activities across the product lifecycle.
