At RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. With our three market‑leading businesses, world‑class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world.

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.

In the Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities (SETC) Center, we work across the entire Systems Engineering lifecycle from Concept Development, Architecture, Requirements Development, Systems Design, Integration & Test, Platform Integration, Flight Test, Deployment, and Sustainment.

Our center is seeking Senior Engineers who will focus on Hardware/Software Integration, Verification, Flight Test, and Platform Integration. In this evolving role you will be hands‑on, supporting hardware buildups, hardware and software integration, Design Verification Tests, Environmental Tests, Qualification Tests, and the associated data analysis ultimately leading to the successful completion of test events.

This team focuses on putting our systems together, testing them in the lab/field, measuring and analyzing performance, and making sure our products work the first time and every time. To accomplish this, we develop plans and procedures, troubleshoot and evaluate system functions, conduct tests, analyze data, and work together with our customers.

The SETC organization based in Tucson, Arizona supports Effector programs ranging from the seabed to space, including but not limited to Ship Launched Effectors like Standard Missile® and Tomahawk®, Surface Launched Effectors like Javelin® and Coyote®, Air Launched Effectors like AMRAAM® and Storm Breaker®, Advanced Technologies like Hypersonics, and space solutions.

• Support Testing Efforts:
  Develop and implement test plans, procedures, integration, and verification documentation in both simulated and real‑world environments and then perform and/or execute the test
• Hardware Buildup and Integration:
  Support the unique buildup of test assets which includes understanding the requirements, physically completing the build, documenting the build, and certifying the unit is ready for the next stage
• Testing:
  Plan and execute tests at different levels of hardware builds (from Circuit Card Assemblies to final product). Tests include but are not limited to Electromagnetic Interference, Live Battery Tests, RF Tests, electrical operational testing, physical properties such as Weight, Center of Gravity, Thermal, and Vibration
• Platform Integration:
  Plan and execute the integration efforts of Effector Systems with customer subsystems and/or launch platforms in the lab or in the field to include a wide variety of military aircraft, ships, and ground‑based launchers
• Flight Tests:
  Plan and execute Test Missions which require robust test planning, logistics, safety, security, preparing the test asset, telemetry monitoring, all while continuously working with the customer, military, and test range
• Troubleshoot and Analyze:
  Identify and resolve hardware, software, and system issues through detailed data analysis and debugging along with supporting failure reporting, analysis, corrective action and/or fault tree analysis
• Perform Data Analysis:
  Collect and analyze data to ensure system performance and provide detailed reports of the results
• Document and Communicate:
  Create/modify documentation in support of reviews associated with formal testing, which may include Test Readiness Review (TRR), Consent to Ship (CTS), and Test Data Review (TDR) packages
• Collaborate:
  Interface and coordinate across the different company functions and with the…
