Job Summary:

Raytheon Mechanical Engineering (ME) leads in mechanical hardware design, development and production of missiles, radar, sonar, torpedo and combat system equipment. The Mechanical Engineering group uses state-of the-art tools, processes, technology, and Raytheon CORE principles. ME capabilities encompass a broad range of technical disciplines which include engineering, manufacturing, technical services, materials, processes, analysis, test and documentation.

The Mechanical Analysis and Test Department (MA&T) is responsible for ensuring the structural integrity of all Raytheon Products. From the preliminary concept to fielded weapon support, MA&T delivers innovative and robust structural analysis solutions utilizing methods ranging from classical fundamental and proprietary empirically based techniques, to state of the art finite element methods and commercial computer codes; all complimented and validated by tests executed in a manner to ensure cost effective yet technically balanced solutions hardware on all of the Raytheon projects.

A Structural Analyst in the MA&T Department has a vast set of responsibilities related to structural integrity of every mechanical part and attachment on all of the Raytheon projects.  The selected candidate will be responsible for detailed structural analysis to support all phases of programs including development and production. The analyses will cover a wide range of difficult problems, requiring solutions that are imaginative, thorough, practicable, and consistent with organization objectives. The analysis tasks will span the spectrum from classical hand analyses to detailed analyses requiring the use of finite element analysis software. In addition, a Structural Analyst of this salary grade is expected to have a high degree of technical competence and be a recognized technical leader and/or leader of teams of engineering analysts. The Structural Analyst will be held accountable for completing his/her work within the agreed upon cost and schedule.  Additionally, the selected candidate will be expected to present their work for peer reviews and to be a peer reviewer for other engineers’ work.  Finally, the analyst is expected to plan and support tests, perform data reduction and engage in thermal model correlation.
