What You'll Do:

  • Troubleshoot and Resolve Issues: Analyze system performance, debug issues across hardware and software interfaces, and recommend/implement solutions.

  • Integrate Complex Systems: Perform end-to-end integration of hardware and software into tactical platforms and assess system-level functionality and performance.

  • Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with multi-disciplinary teams, including systems, software, hardware, and test engineers to ensure seamless system functionality.

  • Document and Communicate: Generate test documentation, analyze results, verify system requirements, and clearly communicate technical findings to stakeholders and leadership.

  • Perform Advanced Data Analysis: Use statistical tools and methods to assess test data, identify trends, and confirm system requirements are met.

  • Present Results: Communicate findings, risks, and solutions to engineering leadership, customers, and program stakeholders.

  • Support Test Missions: Travel as needed to support system integration, test events, and mission execution at Raytheon facilities, vendor sites, and customer locations.

Qualifications You Must Have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of relevant engineering experience.

  • Direct experience with systems engineering disciplines, including systems requirements, software/hardware integration, and system-level testing.

  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for resolving cross-domain system issues.

  • Active and transferable U.S. Secret security clearance required prior to start date.

  • U.S. Citizenship is required (clearance eligibility requirement).

  • Ability to obtain and maintain additional program access as required.
