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.

Tool Engineering is a career field that specializes in designing custom mechanical solutions to support manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and test throughout the product lifecycle. Tooling Engineers are the subject matter experts who provide innovative fixturing, gages, automation and machine design solutions. The use of these items provides a consistent, safe, ergonomic means to assemble, lift, and transport production hardware. Tool Engineers use computer aided design technology to generate 3-dimensional models and technical drawing packages. Tool Engineers are responsible for all aspects of designing, documentation, procuring and integrating assembly Tooling into a highly complex manufacturing environment. Tool Engineers oversee projects from development to implementation and strive to incorporate safe, ergonomic, error-proofed, and innovative solutions into the factory.

The qualified candidate will provide mechanical engineering support for the McKinney Consolidated Manufacturing Center. The supported products are electro-mechanical/electro-optical systems with primary focus on the design of Special Tooling to facilitate assembly and secondarily to support Test Equipment for the systems. They will be responsible for new tooling product designs and implementation into the factory as well as improvements to existing tools. The candidate will utilize their mechanical engineering expertise during design, development, and integration to create solutions that meet tool product requirements and incorporate robust design principles. The candidate will provide leadership on designing, procuring and implementing special tools while collaborating with the factory support team to provide a complete build solution to the factory customer.

What You Will Do

• Develop complex 3-dimensional mechanical tooling solutions using CREO
• Capture and communicate tooling concepts with manufacturing and factory teams.
• Identify opportunities for improvement within our factories.
• Represent manufacturing as a mechanical engineering resource to support a variety of factory initiatives.
• Promote standardized fixturing concepts across programs to support a multi-product factory environment.
• Interpret and read mechanical engineering drawings including the usage of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Provide stress analysis models and documents on below the hook lifting devices.
• Establish designs with significant consideration given to good error-proofing techniques.
• Adjust designs as necessary to meet stakeholder needs.
• Optimize designs through proper selection of raw materials and finishes.
• Integrate COTS components to increase design usability and cost effectiveness.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose and analyze design flaws and production issues.
