Job Summary

The Flight Avionics Team provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Guidance Electronics solutions for products across the Raytheon Missiles and Defense (RMD) portfolio. Our team develops missile Guidance Electronics 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 Flight Avionics Team is searching for an Electrical Subsystem Interconnect Engineer with experience in electrical interface types, connectors, harness development and interconnect schematics design. The focus of this role is to work with subsystem owners and develop an interconnect model. The interconnect model prescribes a system design and is used to inform cable design and electrical performance parameters. Interconnect models are used throughout a program lifecycle to capture the details of the design during development phase and later used for test validation of electrical parameters. Electrical Subsystem Interconnect Engineer collaborates with multiple subsystem responsible engineers, mechanical harness design teams, and works in conjunction with electronics system architects.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

  • Work environment is primarily in an office and lab environment and may include occasional field work.
  • Assignments may include integration and validation of electronics; analysis of hardware designs; influence architecture development/refinement; developing and documenting subsystem requirements and test plans; peer reviews of designs as a subject matter expert; presentations to peers, management, and government customers; and root-cause failure investigations.
  • Assignments may require supporting multiple programs.
  • Assignments may require being in a lab environment utilizing lab instrumentation and test equipment.
  • Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel.
  • Work within a multi-disciplined team.
  • Work alone, with little supervision.
  • Develop a network and know when to use it to get help.
  • Collaboration with both Functional and Program higher level management.
  • Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers.
  • Collaborate with program leadership and system stakeholder from all disciplines for model definition.
  • Compile inputs from system requirements, architecture, electrical interface parameters, schematics, and hardware specifications into interconnect model
  • Knowledge in schematic capture tools such as Mentor Capital or similar
  • Experience with system block diagrams, interconnect diagrams, harness schematics, electrical interface parameters, and harness components (connectors & wires)
  • Collaborate with mechanical harness design teams on cable design and routing.
  • Familiar with interface specs, high speed digital interface, power distribution and general electronic topics 
  • Familiar with grounding, shielding topics, signal integrity and contact arrangements.
  • Conduct meetings with stakeholders to align teams with model status.
  • Prepare and conduct peer reviews for model contents.
  • Prepare and present packages for engineering review.

Qualifications You Must Have:

  • Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM)
  • Minimum of 5 years of engineering experience
  • Experience with electrical hardware development and/or testing
  • Experience in sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development and/or requirement validation
  • The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.

Qualifications We Value:

  • Missile guidance electronics subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in detailed design, testing and/or troubleshooting of one or more of these components in RF applications. Ideal candidates will also have some experience in systems engineering and architecture and have a desire to grow into engineering fellow.
  • Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
  • Knowledge of mixed signal electronics.
  • Ability to manage cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to drive suppliers in meeting commitments.
  • Knowledge of DOD Hardware development process (knowledge of design gates).
  • Practical experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle.
  • Experience in developing proposals.
  • Knowledge and/or experience with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE)

Key Words: Interconnect, electrical harness design, cable and harnessing, electrical interface standards, Subsystems, Requirements, Analysis, Modelling, Architecture, Architect, RF interfaces
