Position Role Type:

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’s AESA and Antenna Department is responsible for full-scope antenna product solutions, spanning architecture trades, design, development, integration, deployment, and sustainment of antenna systems and associated integrated system verification solutions.  Our multi-disciplined teams manage a variety of engineering projects while maintaining a work life balance.  
• This role will support state-of-the-art ultra-wideband phased array antennas, individual antennas, and Low Observable (LO) antennas within the Company. The selected candidate will work with diverse teams of engineers and scientists with backgrounds in Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESAs), Computational Electromagnetics Modeling, RF Test, Mechanical, Structural and Thermal analysis, Material Science, Process and Manufacturing Engineering and LO technology.
• If you are looking for an opportunity to grow with a leader in the Aerospace Industry, this is the perfect opportunity for you! This position requires some job duties to be performed onsite due to the sensitive nature of this work and the desire for in-person collaboration, however we offer flexible in-office hours and the ability to perform some job duties remotely.

What You Will Do

• You will provide technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems involving antenna/AESA-based applications such as radar, electronic warfare, electronic attack, electronic support measures, communications, geolocation, direction finding, etc. 
  • Use computational electromagnetic analysis software to design and predict performance of various types of antennas and apertures (spiral, sinuous, Vivaldi, patch, slot, horn, ultra-wideband tightly coupled dipole arrays, etc.)
  • Analyze simulation or test data to verify performance to requirements.
  • Participate in the testing of RF hardware for required performance metrics: VSWR, insertion loss, gain, polarization, radar cross section (RCS), etc
  • Support internal and customer research and development programs, design and simulation of antennas, arrays or RF components/systems

• Travel Requirements: less than 10 annually
• Shift Information:  1st shift

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering
• A minimum of two (2) years of relevant RF engineering experience with any combination of the following:
  • Design, fabrication, and test of conformal antennas, apertures, and passive RF components (radiating elements, radomes, power dividers, couplers, transitions, multi-layer board designs, Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSSs), etc.).
  • Experience designing, fabricating, and testing ultra-wideband phased array antennas such as Tightly Couple Dipole Arrays (TCDA), Vivaldi, Sliced Notch, Planar Ultra-wideband Modular Arrays (PUMA).
  • EM modeling & simulation tools:  HFSS, CST, FEKO or SENTRi

• Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Masters degree in Electrical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering
• Electromagnetics modeling and simulation experience with conformal antennas
• Knowledge of Printed Wiring Board (PWB) or printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication processes and design rules
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills demonstrated by publications and student awards
