Senior Systems Engineer - Space & Defense Modeling (Onsite)

RTX (Raytheon); El Segundo (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

RTX (Raytheon) in El Segundo, CA, is seeking a senior engineer to advance space and missile system modeling and simulation. The role requires evaluating end-to-end requirements and developing data-driven architectures for complex system-of-systems.

You will work with ISMA teams to develop mission data processing algorithms, validate architectures, and push capabilities across multiple domains, including orbital dynamics and constellation design. Onsite work in El Segundo is required.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a degree in STEM and 5+ years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience with simulation and analysis of space vehicles and satellite constellations, including orbital dynamics and link budget analysis.
• Experience with MATLAB or Python.
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued Top Secret security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Responsibilities

• Evaluate end-to-end system requirements through CONOPS and Design Reference Missions to understand interfaces and data connectivity across military kill-chains.
• Provide modeling and simulation of satellites, constellations, and system-of-systems architectures.
• Support design and integration of mission data processing algorithms to improve detection, tracking, data correlation and data fusion.
• Develop and implement innovative model-based solutions to support mission trade studies and performance simulations.
• Contribute knowledge of performance engineering practices to evaluate work across multiple domains.
• Analyze data to understand performance requirements for integration of space and missile systems.
• Develop analytical metrics to validate proposed architectures against requirements and shape future tech growth.
• Develop and implement algorithms to provide next-generation performance across entire system-of-systems.
