Principal Electrical Engineer - Digital Engineering

Electrical Subsystems Digital Principal Engineer

The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Data Link/Communication, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams.

The AEGS Department is searching for an Electrical Subsystems Digital Principal Engineer with experience leading or supporting a multi-disciplinary system design and integration team. The role of the Principal Engineer will be to lead or support digital design efforts, digital subsystem architecture design or initial integration efforts of development guidance systems. This role may include Control Account Management (CAM) responsibilities so Earned Value (EV) certification is preferred.

What You Will Do

• Lead or Support Digital Design Efforts for development guidance systems
• Enhance electrical engineering skills by working with digital and/or analog hardware testing and debugging complex circuit card assemblies or electro-mechanical systems. Prior hands-on troubleshooting experience is preferred
• Support component level design and test reviews
• Raytheon has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees
• Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level management.
• Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers
• Assignment may require some travel (~25%)
• Assignments may include being a team member or guiding a team through several phases of hardware systems lifecycle such as designs and analysis; architecting new electronic systems; developing and documenting subsystem 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

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a bachelor's degree in science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience unless prohibited by local laws/regulations
• Eight years of experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Analog, digital, and power electronics design, integration, and production support
• Decomposition of high-level requirements into actionable design electronics and subsystem architecture
• Subsystem architectural design
• Experience in Digital sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development, requirement validation, Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) Design, Digital Test Integration and/or Digital Supplier Management on an effector-based product
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Proficient in digital design tools for CCA Schematic Capture, Interconnect Capture and Harness Design
• Prior experience as a technical leader on a complex subsystem during Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) Phase
• Advanced degree in engineering, mathematics, physics, or related engineering degrees.
• Systems engineering thought process with analytical skills background.
• Highly self-motivated individual that can perform multidiscipline work
• Electrical subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in designing and troubleshooting of one or more of these components. Ideal candidates will also have experience in project leadership, systems engineering and architecture and have a desire to grow to a higher level.
• Able to network and/or influence outside of the AEGS Department with other design and production support organizations, program leadership, other engineering disciplines and Manufacturing organizations.
• Interpersonal skills with the ability to interact positively with peers, suppliers, management, and customers in a production environment.
• Proven experience in balancing engineering process discipline and innovation for rapid development and program success.
• Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
• Ability to effectively work multiple tasks and priorities.
• Knowledge of mixed signal electronics.
• Practical experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle.
• Experience in developing proposals.
• Experience leading large, complex trade studies
• Experience developing and materializing conceptual designs and integrating them into a system of systems
