Raytheon’s Data, Analytics and AI organization is seeking a Technical Lead, AI-Enabled Application Development to guide the design and delivery of innovative, enterprise-scale software solutions. In this role, you will provide hands-on technical leadership for a team building AI‑enabled applications, including conversational interfaces and chatbot solutions powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). These applications enhance business processes, improve access to information, and drive productivity across the company.

This position focuses on full‑stack application development using modern Angular-based user interfaces, Java backend services, and RESTful APIs that connect enterprise systems with AI/LLM capabilities. While AI experience is a plus, the core emphasis is on strong software engineering fundamentals, architectural excellence, and developing secure, scalable, reliable, and maintainable solutions.

As a Technical Lead, you will demonstrate deep knowledge of application development principles and best practices while providing hands-on technical guidance, mentorship, and code leadership to other developers. You will work collaboratively within the Digital Business Solutions organization, applying the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) to deliver high-quality, user-focused applications.

Strong communication and partnership skills are essential. This role works closely with business stakeholders, product owners, solution architects, and cross-functional technical teams to understand business needs, translate them into effective technical solutions, and clearly communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

What You Will Do Provide hands-on technical leadership in the design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance of AI-enabled enterprise applications, including LLM-powered conversational interfaces, chatbot, and agentic AI solutions.

Design and develop full-stack web applications, with an emphasis on Angular and Type Script frontend development, Java-based backend services, and RESTful API development.

Develop and maintain application interfaces and backend services that integrate with LLM platforms, enterprise data sources, and other internal systems.

Collaborate with AI/ML specialists, solution architects, and other development teams to integrate AI capabilities into reliable, secure, and user-friendly applications.
