Job description

Come be a part of our team and work on exciting systems for land, sea, and air!

We're expanding our engineering organization dramatically to meet exciting customer demand, and we're actively looking for engineers who bring strong foundational skills and a passion for solving hard problems. Industry experience in defense? Not required — we'll invest in you. If you meet the minimum qualifications, we want to talk. Apply today and take the next step in your engineering career.

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’s Hardware Mechanical Engineering team leads the mechanical hardware design, development and production of critical defense systems. The HWE Team uses state-of-the-art tools, processes, technology, and Raytheon’s CORE principles. HWE’s capabilities encompass a broad range of technical disciplines which include engineering, prototyping, technical services, materials, processes, analysis, test, and documentation.

Within the Hardware Mechanical Engineering team, the Undersea & Electronics Systems (UES) Department leads the mechanical design, development, and integration of products, including but not limited to undersea sensors and analysis, naval platforms, shipboard/ground-based processing and power equipment, and launchers.

The ideal candidate for Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will bring a blend of technical ability, experience in mechanical hardware design, system integration skills, and a strong background in program execution whether design and development or production support. As a key contributor on a mechanical or cross-functional engineering team, you will take responsibility for component and assembly modeling, documentation, design changes, and releases processes. This position is ideal for a mid-career mechanical engineer who is looking to grow their skills in design, support to production, and technical problem-solving within a highly collaborative and mission-focused environment.

What You Will Do

Design:

• Develop innovative technical solutions to a wide range of complex challenges spanning the entire product lifecycle, including proposal, advanced development, design, cooling, manufacturing, integration, and testing of components and systems for military programs.
• Perform tolerance analyses to ensure form, fit, and function are as intended by design for the use-application.
• Lead small teams utilizing strong mechanical hardware design experience and knowledge in a fast-paced collaborative environment with ruggedized structures, interconnects, cooling, electronics packaging, tooling and/or array integration.
• Provide support for product integration and efforts in both domestic and international factories and supplier locations to assess requirements compliance.

Teaming/Communication:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including other engineering disciplines, operations, supply chain, quality, and external suppliers to resolve technical challenges and develop effective design solutions.
• Independently manage tasks and deliver on schedule, budget, and technical goals.
• Participate in design reviews and conduct trade studies to support informed, sound engineering decisions.
• Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, contributing to team development and technical growth.
