The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems team provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. Our team develops missile Guidance System Hardware. Our core electrical engineering responsibilities include architecture, analysis, requirements, integration, and test. Our core electrical engineering technologies include RF/RADAR, Navigation/IMU/GPS, Digital, and Power. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as missile level systems teams.
The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems Team is searching for an Electrical Systems Engineer with experience in developing RF subsystems, Radars or RF seekers. The role of the Principal RF subsystem engineer is to design, develop and maintain RF architectures. Architecture development includes requirements, analysis and modelling. RF subsystem engineers collaborate with missile level system engineers in developing requirements for the subsystem. They perform evaluation and modeling to decompose requirements for RF sub-assemblies and component designs.
