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.

What You Will Do :

Join the Raytheon team within our Hardware Electrical Engineering Organization responsible for the design, test, manufacture, and mission support of advanced electrical subsystems utilized in extreme battlefield environments. In this role, you will contribute to cutting-edge technologies spanning target detection and tracking, guidance, navigation, digital signal processing, and communications. Working collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, you will apply rigorous engineering processes to solve complex hardware challenges, engineer high-reliability circuit card assemblies (CCAs), and advance solutions from design through lab integration.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, model, and analyze electrical subsystems, components, and circuit card assemblies (CCAs) across broad mission architectures.
• Support guidance section electronics development, including subsystem integration, test conduction, and GPS/IMU interface support.
• Perform system-level and circuit-level electrical analysis, simulation, and component evaluations.
• Execute hands-on integration, characterization, and troubleshooting of electronic hardware within laboratory and production environments.
• Support failure investigations, root-cause analysis, and technical problem-solving alongside cross-functional engineering teams and external suppliers.
• Develop and maintain clear, comprehensive technical documentation, test procedures, and design data packages.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline. Degree must be obtained by start date.
• Experience or coursework with one or more of the following: RF, Microwave, Analog, Digital Electronics, Mixed Signal, Circuit Design or Analysis, Power Electronics, VHDL, FPGA, Electrical Components, Digital Signal Processing, or PCB design.
• Experience operating laboratory test and measurement equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, waveform/function generators, spectrum analyzers, or network analyzers) to test hardware, interface with sensors, or measure electrical signals.
• Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.

Qualifications We Prefer :

• Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher from an ABET-accredited institution.
• Hands-on laboratory experience with hardware/software integration, automated test scripting, test execution, and sensor control.
• Demonstrated knowledge of electrical circuit design, simulation, and troubleshooting using standard lab instrumentation and analysis tools.
• Technical working knowledge of electronic components (e.g., semiconductor, passive, or electromechanical commodities) and component application.
• Familiarity with component obsolescence management methodologies.
• Knowledge of electro-optical subsystems and optical sensor interfaces.
• Familiarity with Root-Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) investigations and FRACAS processes.

Please consider the following role type definition as you apply for this role. Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite. This includes all production and maintenance employees, as they are essential to the development of our products.

This position requires a security clearance. DCSA Consolidated Adjudication Services (DCSA CAS), an agency of the Department of Defense, handles and adjudicates the security clearance process. More information about Security Clearances can be found on the US Department of State government website here: https://www.state.gov/m/ds/clearances/c10978.htm

As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regard
