Principal Systems Engineer
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. Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS) Systems Integration and Test Department is seeking a skilled and experienced Principal Systems Engineer with expertise in airborne and space electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) surveillance and targeting sensor systems. The Systems Engineer plans and manages the multidisciplinary/cross-functional engineering activities and associated budgets, guides engineering follow-through of work products and support, supports proposal and change management activities for engineering and supports the bid manager for proposals within engineering. The Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test Department is responsible for all Electro-Optic Imaging Systems Definition, Architecture, Integration, product Verification & Validation along with program and project technical implementation to cost and schedule. What You Will Do: You will work with the Program Chief Engineer (PCE) to ensure products are developed and delivered within the allotted cost, schedule, technical quality and performance parameters. You will provide systems engineering technical leadership to RVS EO/IR infrared focalplane array (IR FPA) programs and special projects. You will regularly collaborate with a multidisciplinary team made up of Systems, Test, Software, Firmware, Mechanical, and Electrical engineers. You will actively manage engineering risks and opportunities with the PCE to ensure proactive execution. You will coordinate and compile Engineering inputs for proposals and present bid summaries to management. Lead technical support efforts for production and development activities. Oversee and direct trade studies, presenting comprehensive results to key stakeholders. Communicate technical findings and strategic solutions to leadership and customers effectively. Lead technical team to identify and resolve hardware, software, and system issues through detailed data analysis and debugging. Oversee/perform the update, development, maintenance, and improvement of requirements, concepts of operations, and define system interfaces. Qualifications You Must Have: Requires a Bachelor's degree in a related STEM discipline and a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum 5 years' experience. EO/IR system experience with hands on experience in the design, analysis, development, troubleshooting, and testing of EO subsystems, including familiarity with IR FPA technology. Experience developing product specifications and requirements management, including distilling and deriving requirements for lower-level subassemblies and components. Experience with system design, trade studies, optimization, and performance assessment. Experience creating and modifying documentation in support of reviews associated with formal gating events and testing, which may include System Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), Consent to Ship Review (CTSR) and Test Data Review (TDR) packages. Demonstrated team leadership skills and excellent communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation) with to effectively communicate across experience bases. Qualifications We Prefer: Factory production and direct experience with IR FPA design and testing for tactical and/or space environments. Familiarity with vacuum packaging, dewar design, cryogenic cooling, and/or opto-mechanics. Experience with requirements Organization via DOORs. Experience creating analytical models and scripting for data analysis (MATLAB preferred). Ability to effectively plan, lead, and execute root-cause and corrective-action (RCCA) efforts. Prior experience with ROIC wafer probing, fabrication, integration, verification, and validation for a complex EO/IR system. EVMS Certification and demonstrated ability to manage Engineering team budgets and staffing demand. Familiarity with Earned Value Management. What We Offer: Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Safety, Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
