Principal Electronics Engineer

Overview

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.

Every revolutionary invention begins with a simple electronic principle, proving small sparks can create massive change. Raytheon’s Hardware Electrical Engineering Team is looking for experienced engineers who have electronics knowledge to support the design and test of electronic products and systems. Our bread and butter are all things “circuit cards”, and we want you to help us blaze the path.

• Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry. This circuitry will dominantly involve non-isolated and isolated switch‑mode power converters and linear converters. Main emphasis is on board‑mounted power end‑use applications.
• Architect at the power system level.
• See circuit card and stack development through its design phases, from requirements definition through initial integration testing.
• Lead large teams, define schedules, and create system‑level tasking for designs.
• Guide ECAD drafters and junior engineers through layout and routing activities. Define layer stack‑up definitions and act as an expert regarding creepage and clearance.
• Lead large teams to success with schedule, budget, and technical execution.
• Engage in personal technical growth and facilitate technical growth in peers and junior engineers. Drive the capture of opportunities needed to mature the organization on the technical front.

The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. Only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance. Security Clearance Type:
DoD Clearance:
Secret. Status:
Active and existing security clearance required after day 1.

• Requires a Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience OR an Advanced STEM degree and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Design, analysis, test, and/or simulation experience with linear converters and any of the following non-isolated converter topologies: buck, boost, buck‑boost.
• Design, analysis, and/or simulation experience with at least one of the following isolated converter topologies: flyback, half‑bridge, full‑bridge, forward, push‑pull, resonant.
• Experience using tools such as MATLAB, MathCAD, Mathematica, or other similar tools.
• Experience with EMI filter design, analysis, test, and/or simulation considerations in power electronics circuits.
• Experience with transformer or inductor design, analysis, test, and/or simulation considerations in power electronics circuits.
• Experience utilizing and/or creating electrical design specifications.

• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering.
• Understanding of switching converter control techniques and modes such as voltage mode, peak and average current modes, their advantages and disadvantages. Conceptual familiarity and experience must include stability.
• Experience leading small teams (formally or informally), and experience working with other team leads toward a larger goal.
• Exposure to managing customer relationships.
• Experience communicating and documenting technical topics at the small and large team level, and experience presenting to upper levels of management.
• Experience conducting trade studies relating to power electronics architecture at the circuit card stack level.
• Experience guiding drafters through the ECAD process, including the layout and routing concerns specific to non-isolated and isolated power electronics.
• Experience utilizing and creating electrical design specifications. Exposure to requirements definition early in the design cycle.
• Experience designing at the circuit card stack level to meet concerns of adjacent disciplines, such as thermal,…
