The Equipment Engineering organization is seeking a highly capable Senior Equipment Engineer to support the Structural Processing engineering team. This role focuses on hands‑on development, integration, and validation of advanced manufacturing equipment and automation solutions used in process‑intensive production environments.

This position is remote, with a strong preference for candidates who reside within driving distance of an RTX manufacturing site to support periodic on‑site equipment integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting.

The ideal candidate is a technical contributor with experience in industrial automation, robotics, controls, and structural processing equipment. The engineer supports equipment development work streams, collaborates closely with equipment OEMs and integrators, and helps deliver reliable, scalable solutions for multiple manufacturing sites.

This role is execution‑focused and emphasizes technical solution development, equipment integration, troubleshooting, and coordination across cross‑functional teams. Project management activities (schedule, budget, governance) are handled by the Program Management Office, enabling this role to maintain a strong focus on engineering excellence.

• Support development, integration, and validation of advanced structural‑processing equipment, including cold spray deposition, robotic welding, brazing systems, presses, and forming systems.
• Execute assigned portions of equipment development work streams (design review support, controls integration tasks, commissioning, debug, and acceptance testing).
• Provide day‑to‑day technical interaction with equipment OEMs, integrators, and automation suppliers; contribute feedback that improves manufacturability, reliability, and scalability.
• Support equipment architecture, controls strategy, robotics integration, functional safety setups, and process monitoring.
• Translate process requirements into practical equipment design inputs and support the development of scalable machinery solutions.
• Conduct troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and technical evaluations across automation, controls, cold spray, welding, and brazing systems.
• Contribute to standardized equipment platforms, tooling concepts, and integration practices across multiple sites.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Quality, EHS, and site teams to define technical requirements and ensure equipment readiness.
• Participate in on‑site commissioning, debug, startup, and operational handoff (periodic travel required).
• Develop engineering documentation, specifications, validation plans, and technical reports.
• Provide…
