Section Leader - Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) Applications

Section Manager

Raytheon is seeking a Section Manager to lead a team of engineers responsible for the development, integration, and application of variable-fidelity computer models and simulations that assess complex system and system-of-systems behaviors in advanced threat environments. This role includes oversight of kill-chain simulation testbeds designed to run in real-time or faster-than-real-time and integrate into joint test environments in Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) settings.

What You Will Do

• Lead a team of 8–15 engineers developing and integrating variable-fidelity simulation models that represent system and system-of-systems effects in complex threat environments.
• Oversee the creation and use of kill-chain simulation testbeds that operate in real-time or faster-than-real-time and integrate into distributed LVC test environments.
• Work with your team to generate virtual and analytical solutions that identify technology gaps, demonstrate operational benefits of new mission concepts, support requirements development, and test system behaviors.
• Use a holistic engineering mindset to develop and visualize solutions as both a leader and an individual contributor supporting one or more programs.
• Be accountable for the execution of assigned work, delivery of technical products, and adherence to programmatic schedules and requirements.
• Perform line-management responsibilities including performance development and appraisal (including salary planning), career development, staffing allocation, and ensuring your team has required resources and support.
• Ensure compliance with company policies, administrative requirements, and organizational standards.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure customer satisfaction and alignment with business needs.
• Manage communication flow between your section and Raytheon leadership, communicating direction to your team and reporting status upward.
• Interface with government and contractor customers to define requirements, participate in tool development, and evaluate end-to-end system needs including interfaces and data connectivity across the kill chain.
• Support modeling of mission and system kill chains using government, commercial, and Raytheon simulation tools (e.g., AFSIM, RCADE).
• Present developed tools, capabilities, and analytical results to internal, external, and government customers.
• Occasional travel as required (
