At Raytheon Missiles & Defense you have the opportunity to try new things and make a bigger difference across a broader endtoend solution a richer technology and product set an expanded range of disciplines and a growing global footprint. You will be on the front lines as we trailblaze new approaches push the boundaries of innovation and chart a course to a tomorrow you can be proud to have a hand in creating.

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 a Principal GPS Subsystems Engineer with experience in GPS technology. The role of the GPS Subsystems Engineer is to provide GPS electronics solution for missile products. GPS electronics solution includes architecture development requirement definition electronics design analysis modelling and testing. GPS Subsystem Engineer collaborates with missile level system engineers in developing requirements for the subsystem. They perform analysis and modeling to decompose requirements for GPS subassemblies and component designs.

What you will do:

• Work environment is primarily in an office but may include labs field work or a combination.

• Assignments may include analysis of hardware designs subsystems and components; architecting new electronic systems; 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 rootcause failure investigations.

• Interface directly with suppliers of navigation or guidance electronics components IMUs and GPSs to monitor and manage programmatic activities and ensure compliance to requirements

• Missile Systems has a strong culture of mentoring; it is expected that employees will be both mentors and mentees.
