Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. The Receiver, Exciter, and Back End Processing (REBEP) Department is the focal point for receiver, exciter, beam steering, and signal processing technology in the Raytheon business. The department is responsible for the design, development, integration, support to production builds, and lifecycle support of Raytheon products. REBEP has an opportunity for an electrical engineer who is seeking to use their strong academic background and professional experience in digital/analog hardware and subsystem design to help develop and produce the next generation of Raytheon's Radar Receiver, Exciter, and Transmitter subsystems. The successful candidate to fill this Senior Hardware Design Engineer role will employ their working knowledge of Circuit Card Assemblies and analytical skills to design and develop products with application in signal processing, command, and control. The scope of this role includes design of mixed signal hardware to support both new and existing Raytheon products. These design efforts will include collaboration with systems engineers, mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, and other electrical engineers to perform design trades and requirements flow down, perform electrical analysis, develop test plans, and ultimately to deliver working hardware that meets program requirements. Technical support during the transition to production and support to production activities are also expected. Team leadership skills including cost and schedule management plus proposal writing and presentation experience are desired. This role will be 100% on-site & with an opportunity to be based in either Tewksbury, MA or Marlborough, MA.
