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 Electrical Engineering Team is looking for junior engineers who have electronics knowledge to support the design and test of electronic products and systems.Our bread and butter are all things “circuit cards”, and we want you to help us blaze the path! We’re growing fast and we want you to grow with us! 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.

What You Will Do

• Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry.
• This circuitry will dominantly involve 3 phase inverter design, sensor interfacing and controller circuits.
• Main emphasis is on board-mounted power end use applications.
• Hands on drafting & designing at a circuit card level.
• Help to see circuit card development through its design phases, from requirements definition through initial integration testing.
• Drive to meet schedule concerns.
• Define schedules for circuit level tasking.
• Guide ECAD drafters through layout and routing activities, with moderate support from senior engineers.
• Assist in layer stackup definition.

Qualifications

• Requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience.
• Design, analysis, test, and/or simulation experience with one or more of the following motor types is a plus: Brushed, BLDC or PMSM.
• Experience using tools such as MATLAB, MathCAD, Mathematica, or other similar tools.
• Experience with analog electronics design, including at least one of the following: FETs/BJTs, op-amp, high/low/band pass filters, clock/data termination, and comparator circuits.
• Experience working in a lab setting and using lab tools such as oscilloscopes, DMMs, frequency generators, power supplies and/or Data Acquisition Systems.
