Job description

Location: US-MA-ANDOVER-AN3 ~ 354 Lowell St ~ AN3 SUFFOLK BLDG

Date Posted: 2026-07-07

Country: United States of America

Position Role Type: Onsite

Citizenship / Clearance Requirements: U.S. citizenship required. Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance (DoD Clearance: Confidential, active after day 1) is required.

Manufacturing Engineers learn production operations and the manufacturing discipline in a controlled environment. They develop manufacturing engineering skills alongside their team, internalize an understanding of safety, quality, delivery, and cost, and use Raytheon systems and tools to create innovative and unique solutions to today’s manufacturing challenges. Manufacturing Engineers build technical depth into manufacturing processes and are accountable for improvement and optimization.

This is a 3rd shift position which includes a 12% shift premium.

Responsibilities: The primary responsibilities include developing the comprehensive manufacturing process for 3D metal parts for various radar, integrated sensor, and effector programs. The candidate will define materials, develop work holding solutions, create multi‑axis CNC machining programs, develop inspection plans, and create process instructions for operators to follow. They will also assess process failures, disposition non‑conforming hardware, and create and execute robust Root Cause/Corrective Action plans to permanently solve problems. This position requires close cooperation with the Operations team and other engineering disciplines. The desired candidate will possess excellent communication skills and be capable of working in a dynamic team environment.

What You Will Do

• Translate engineering design requirements into formal manufacturing process documentation including raw material definition, fixturing/tooling development, CNC programming, inspection planning, finishing requirements, and assembly instructions
• Support process improvements using data analysis, application of best practices, and by implementing innovative solutions to improve process capability and decrease cost
• Design, control, and improve the manufacturing process through collaboration with a multi‑disciplined team
• Perform process development on new product introductions with an accelerated time to market
• Optimize CNC programs using machining modeling and analysis tools to identify inefficiencies and apply new techniques
• Integrate automated solutions for part handling and in‑machine work holding
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and document standard methodologies and standard work for CNC machining
• Review metrology and statistical process control (SPC) data to identify and address potential defects before they occur
• Validate NC programs using CGTech Vericut and Cimco Edit
• Troubleshoot manufacturing issues alongside Quality and Operations personnel and apply CORE/6‑sigma methods to determine Root Cause and apply Corrective Actions

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) and a minimum 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Knowledge of high‑speed machining techniques, cutting tools, and CNC machine tool capabilities.
• Able to correctly interpret engineering drawings, including Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• CNC programming experience for machines with 4 or more axes.
• ICAM post‑processor development.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of Creo CAD/CAM Software.
• Process familiarity with paint, plating, and structural assembly.
• Results‑oriented focus on past projects to evaluate success.
• Demonstrated hands‑on mechanical aptitude.
• Knowledge and ability to apply CORE principles and techniques.
• Active DoD Security Clearance.

What We Offer

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
• Relocation assistance is not available.
