Job summary

RTX in the United States is seeking an electrical engineer specializing in power conversion and analog circuitry. The role focuses on 3-phase inverter design, sensor interfacing, and controller circuits for board-mounted applications.

You will draft at circuit-card level, guide layouts, and drive circuit development from requirements to testing, ensuring schedules are met. Strong MATLAB/analog design experience is required; DoD clearance is a prerequisite.

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.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry.
• 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.

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

• 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 You Must Have

• 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.

Qualifications We Prefer

• An advanced degree in Electrical Engineering
• A self-starter, a quick learner, be able to function in a dynamic environment, and have good time management skills. Should have an appreciation for how successful teams are structured.
• Experience communicating and documenting technical topics at the small team level.
• Experience in any one of the following: Familiarity with wide bandgap devices (SiC, GaN) in power electronics designs.
• Simulators such as SIMPLIS or SABER, or Mentor Graphics DxDesigner, and/or Hyperlynx.
• Military specifications.
• Design considerations for voltages > 400V and/or power > 10kW. Three-phase power systems, power factor control, and inverter/rectifier development.
• Program management tools such as Earned Value.

What We Offer

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