Test Solutions Engineering (TSE) Organization

The Test Solutions Engineering organization includes all engineering disciplines responsible for systems design and test of all Raytheon products. Engineers are responsible for all elements of the development lifecycle for test including test requirements, test system design, advanced engineering prototyping technology, flight operations, environmental testing, and environmental characterization. We are hands‑on, designing with the latest technology and tools, and integrating state‑of‑the‑art test solutions with the most advanced engineering systems in the world.

Role Overview

As a Principal Systems Engineer, you are accountable to coordinate across all engineering teams to define, design, and document Test Environment capabilities and requirements. You must be a systems thinker, able to see the “big picture,” and have in‑depth knowledge of development, production, User Operations, and embedded test processes and practices. As a Systems Engineer, you must know how prime hardware should be tested at every level (from component to All‑Up‑Round) to ensure robustness and efficiency.

What You Will Do

• Apply your knowledge of the subsystem and collaborate with other engineering disciplines to develop and implement the subsystem model using Model Based System Engineering tools and methods.
• Detail capabilities and derive requirements.
• Communicate test equipment needs and requirements to Test Equipment designers.
• Manage requirements and traceability.
• Leverage and apply reuse of Test Environment requirements and models to promote efficiency in test design and development.
• Develop subsystem requirements, interfaces, behaviors, and architecture.
• Interact with Technical SMEs as necessary to fully understand the subsystem, including identifying and resolving issues and supporting related subsystem trades or analysis.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) with a minimum of eight (8) years of directly related engineering experience (or a STEM Master’s with 6 years related experience).
• Experience in Systems Engineering or another engineering discipline such as test requirements development, test methodologies, test requirements documents, integration, verification, and/or validation for test.
• Experience with developing, decomposing, and/or managing system requirements across a product lifecycle such as design and transition to production.
• Experience with test‑related activities throughout the product lifecycle.
• Experience with Model Based Engineering processes, techniques, and tools (Rhapsody and IBM Rational Model Manager and/or Cameo Systems Modeler/Enterprise Architect and Teamwork Cloud preferred, and experience with Systems Modeling Language (SysML), and/or Unified Modeling Language (UML)).
