Principal Systems Engineer - Integration Lead

Overview

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.

In Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities (SETC) we integrate, verify, and validate our products. We put our systems together, exercise them in the lab or in the field, measure and analyze performance, and make sure our products work the first time and every time. To accomplish this, we develop plans and procedures, debug and evaluate system functions and interfaces, develop test environments, and work together with our customers.

The Effectors Center in the SETC is seeking Systems Engineers focused on Hardware Integration and Qualification/Verification testing. In this role you will be hands-on, supporting the successful completion of test events and the associated analysis of test data.

• Lead a team to perform integration, verification, lab and field qualification testing to ensure the system under test performs according to specifications/requirements.
• Lead and oversee data collection activities, including review and analysis of data elements, and provide detailed reports of results.
• Direct and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams in fault isolation, fault analysis, and corrective action investigations across mechanical and electrical subsystems, system-level performance, and system-of-system integration, including all-up round (AUR) configurations weapon-to-carriage interfaces, and aircraft platform integration.
• Own the development and quality of technical documentation supporting formal test events and reviews, including Test Readiness Reviews (TRR), Consent-To-Ships (CTS), and Test Data Review (TDR) packages, by leading contributors and ensuring review readiness
• Lead field test execution teams and serve as the primary integration authority during lab and field events, with periodic travel to support critical test milestones
• Serve as Control Account Manager (CAM) responsible for scope, schedule cost, and performance execution of Integration and Verification work packages, including IMS planning, EVMS reporting, risk management, and staffing forecasts.

• Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM preferred) and a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience.
• Hardware Systems Integration experience on military platforms.
• Platform Integration and/or Flight Test experience.
• Experience supporting field tests, or systems deployed in the field.
• Experience with Verification and Validation methods.
• Ability to obtain an interim secret U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.

• Experience leading technical efforts that require cross-organizational coordination between DoD customers (USAF/Navy), prime contractors, and subsystem suppliers.
• Experience serving as a Control Account Manager (CAM), with responsibility for scope, schedule, cost and technical performance.
• Experience planning and executing environmental qualification testing, including climatic testing (temperature, humidity, altitude, precipitation, etc.) and dynamic testing (vibration, shock, and mechanical load environments).
• Familiarity with Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) testing, including EMI/EMC, lightning, and related MIL-STD electromagnetic susceptibility/compatibility evaluations.
• Experience leading system integration and technical execution for flight test activities on USAF or Navy aircraft platforms, working closely with government and prime contractor flight organizations
• Experience collecting and evaluating data to diagnose and solve technical issues.
• Experience creating integration and verification strategies.
• Experience in integration with test equipment, telemetry data analysis tools, and missile systems host platforms.
• Experience managing and presenting technical data to Stakeholders and Customer…
