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.

The AEGS Department develops guidance section electronics architectures for development programs, supports subsystem analyses, integration and test, and provides program leadership as well as GPS/IMU support. We partner with several Electrical Engineering Departments that provide the detailed designs of our electrical products. We are seeking entry‑level candidates willing to collaborate, innovate, and team with our engineers to generate and utilize today’s cutting‑edge technology to develop electrical subsystems.

The Navigation/IMU Engineer will work with experienced Navigation/IMU engineers in support of selecting IMUs and integrating them into navigation subsystems. The engineer should understand the fundamentals of how IMUs work, how they are tested, and be able to analyze IMU performance data. The engineer should also have a basic understanding of serial interfaces, hardware integration, and test.

Work environment is primarily in an office, but may include labs, field work, or a combination. Assignments may include supporting programs with IMU selection, testing of IMUs, analysis of IMU performance, interface with IMU suppliers, developing and documenting IMU requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root‑cause failure investigations.
