Principal 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. The Effector RF Products Team at Raytheon is seeking a talented Principal Engineer to join our team in Tucson, AZ. The candidate will manage a section of 10-20 RF subsystems engineers within the Effector RF Products Department. As a manager of RF subsystems engineers, the candidate will also be responsible for contributing to the architecture, analysis, design, and implementation of RF subsystems and sensors within missile products. Responsibilities will be split between supporting RF Products program(s) as an engineer (~85%) and providing functional support to the section "RF Subsystems" (~15%). The candidate will be responsible for providing expertise, leadership, and subject matter support to RF projects and team members. This position is an onsite role, located in Tucson, AZ. What You Will Do: Performance management and career development activities Collaborate and communicate with the department lead, other sections, and teams Support department and directorate level initiatives Ensure employee compliance with company policies and procedures Oversight of personnel issues Manage employee timecards Work as a technical contributor or lead on programs supporting RF subsystem architecture, requirements, design, integration, and/or test Specify, design, and test advanced RF sensors and subsystems across frequencies from MHz through millimeter-wave Decompose system-level requirements into detailed RF component requirements Measure RF components/sensors/subsystems, including performance in chamber and range environments Perform modeling and analysis of link budgets, RF cascades, electromagnetic emissions (EME), antenna patterns, phase noise, receiver sensitivity, transmitter power, spurious signals, modulation, isolation, and ADC characteristics Qualifications You Must Have: Typically requires a Bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience to include any combination of the following: Design, integration, and/or test of RF subsystems Design, integration, and/or test of RF sensors Experience with leading teams Qualifications We Prefer: Experience interacting across engineering disciplines (e.g. Systems, Mechanical, SW, Algorithms, etc.) to define RF subsystem requirements and evaluate performance Knowledge of RF component technologies, including circuit card assemblies (CCAs), waveguides, planar/printed antennas, RF modules, and/or monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) Experience performing Link Budget analyses Understanding of antenna patterns and RF measurements with antennas and electronics Experience in concepts such as phase noise, mixer conversion spurs, automatic gain control (AGC), sensitivity, intermodulation distortion (IMD), bit error rate, instantaneous bandwidth, adjacent channel interference, and ADC measurements/calculations (Nyquist and SFDR) Familiarity with equipment such as Spectrum Analyzers, Network Analyzers, Signal Generators, and Arbitrary Waveform Generators (ARB Generators) Understanding of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic vulnerability (EMV) along with mitigation strategies in RF systems Excellent written communication and oral presentation skills What We Offer: Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation. This position offers relocation based on candidate eligibility. RTX is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
