Résumé du poste

RTX (Raytheon) in Tucson, AZ is seeking a Materials Engineer to analyze elastomeric materials and related non-elastomer production materials. The role focuses on root-cause analysis, material characterization, and delivering engineering solutions within tight timelines.

Applicants should have a university degree with 5–8+ years of experience in elastomeric materials and characterization techniques (FTIR, DSC, DMA, SEM-EDS, GCMS, HPLC, GPC). U.S.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a university degree or equivalent experience with 5+ years, or an advanced degree with 3+ years (in related field).
• Experience with elastomer materials and characterization techniques (e.g., FTIR, DSC, DMA, SEM-EDS, GCMS, HPLC, GPC).

Responsabilités

• Perform quick-turn elastomer material analysis and root-cause investigations.
• Characterize non-elastomer materials (adhesives, plastics, tapes, composites, metals) as needed.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver engineering solutions within tight schedules.

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.

Opportunity to work in the Materials Engineering Laboratory in Tucson AZ. This position will offer a qualified candidate the opportunity to solve engineering problems primarily related to elastomeric materials such as butyl, nitrile, neoprene, silicone, FKM/FFKM, EPDM and more. The candidate will assess elastomer materials based on design requirements, conformance to specifications, or by conducting root cause failure analysis leveraging knowledge of a variety of chemical analysis techniques and elastomer subject matter expertise. Additional responsibilities will include characterizing non-elastomer materials (adhesives, plastics, tapes, composites, metals, and various other production materials) in similar scenarios as above.

Tasks will require quick-turn analysis while collaborating with a multi-discipline team, requiring careful attention to detail and an ability to tailor analysis methods and output to match customer needs and timelines. This is not a research position but instead requires solving engineering problems and providing engineering solutions within a short period of time (days or weeks).

Due to the physical nature of the work, qualified candidates must also be able to lift 22 lbs. Collaboration with engineers, other subject matter experts, and suppliers is required. Candidate must be able to manage and coordinate a wide variety of simultaneous tasks within set schedule requirements, while spending much of their time in the laboratory. This candidate will become part of a multi-disciplined team.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires A University Degree or equivalent experience and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience, or An Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years experience
• Experience in Elastomeric Materials and Characterization Techniques (ie: FTIR, DSC, DMA, SEM-EDS, GCMS, HPLC, GPC, etc)

Qualifications We Prefer

• Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry
• Able to troubleshoot analytical instrument problems, perform analysis and interpret data
• Proficient in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
• Good communication, interpersonal, planning, teaming and time management skills
• Experience with seal design in aerospace applications or extreme environments, including the ability to calculate squeeze, gland fill, stretch, etc. under applicable conditions
• Material Science and Polymer Science understanding, with knowledge of material testing/analysis such as hardness, adhesion tests, sample preparation, cross section, etc.
• Understanding of material safety datasheets and Military Specifications
• Current/Active DoD clearance or SSBI
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with individuals from different types of communities and cultures
• Demonstrated ability to work with colleagues who represent different types of work and conflict resolution styles
• Demonstrated ability to lead and complete large scale multi-disciplined scientific based projects including failure analysis investigations
• Ability to write concise technical reports summarizing analyses

What We Offer

Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
