About Us:

Raytheon, a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, security and civilian markets, is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer within the Advanced Airframes mechanical design department, a subset of the Mechanical engineering organization.

Are you interested in developing and integrating hardware on the front-end of the business, often employing advanced materials, technology, and approaches in order to provide enabling technology to the customer? We have a diverse team and employ engineers with a variety of backgrounds to effectively meet many different customer needs on time.

The primary work location will be on-site at the Raytheon Tucson office. Some travel may be required to meet and work with vendors and to support testing and other activities as needed.

The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance is required prior to the start date. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Job Summary:  The Principal Mechanical Design Engineer will design, integrate, and test mechanical-focused hardware using computer-aided design, mechanical analyses, and consistent coordination and communication across teams to ensure successful hardware performance, usually demonstrated through flight tests. This role will also include leading teams in the completion of above tasks.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

  • Work with multi-disciplinary engineers to propose, design, develop, integrate, and test hardware within the Advanced Airframes mechanical design department.

  • Contribute to one or more of our contract-funded and independent research efforts, each of which is at a different phase of development (proposal, design, and integration/test). Engineers are generally assigned to one effort at a time but may work multiple efforts over the course of several years.

  • Communicate with cross-disciplined, diverse engineering team members and suppliers to analyze, model, and document the design technical data package (TDP) and its capabilities and compliance to requirements.

  • Work under limited supervision and act as the responsible engineer often in a project management role over entire subsystems within an effort. This often requires the ability to direct, delegate and review the work of others.

Qualifications You Must Have:

  • Education: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Engineering Science, Math, or other Engineering discipline

  • 8+ years of experience in mechanical design, development, and/or test, preferably of defense-related components or systems

  • Experience in airframe development, electronics packaging, mechanisms, for missiles or similar applications

  • Understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), basic tolerance analyses, and drawing practices and interpretation for mechanical hardware

  • Experience developing and executing a plan to development a mechanical component or subsystem

Qualifications We Value:

  • Master of Science (MS) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Engineering Science, Math, or other Engineering disciplines

  • Experience with thermal and structural analyses or with analysts to specify requirements and design to environments.

  • Experience with effective communication (written and verbal) during collaboration with others to document design actions and results, to perform trade studies, and to communicate to program management and customers through presentations and reports.

What We Offer:  Whether you’re just starting out on your career journey or are an experienced professional, we offer a robust total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, retirement, and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. If you're passionate about what you could accomplish here, we'd love to hear from you. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees.  Your skills may be just what we are looking for, so don’t hold back; apply today.
