At Raytheon the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of todays mission and stay ahead of tomorrows threat. Our team solves tough meaningful problems that create a safer more secure world.

The Hardware Engineering team leads the design development and production of mechanical electrical and test equipment hardware at Raytheon. Weuse state-of-the-art tools processes technology and CORE principles. Our capabilities encompass a broad range of technical disciplines which include engineering manufacturing technical services materials processes analysis test and documentation.

The Precision Control Actuation Systems (PCAS) department is part of the Hardware Engineering functional organization. PCAS is an engineering organization of approximately 150 people who are in Tucson AZ and Huntsville AL. We develop new Control Actuation Systems (CAS) including Aerodynamic Tail Fin and Canard Steering Control Sections Thrust Vector Attitude and Divert Control Systems Control Surface and Wing Deployment mechanisms Stage Separation and Nosecone Ejection Systems and more.

The Precision Control and Actuation Systems (PCAS) department is seeking a dynamic and experienced Engineering Technical Lead to join our team onsite at the Tucson AZ facility. We are currently hiring a Senior Principal Mechanical Engineer (P5) to provide technical leadership overseeing our Common CAS Test. The technical lead will oversee PCAS program acceptance test needs to ensure program requirements are met for low and high volume production with acceptable technical rigor meet time standards and support program schedules.

As an Engineering Technical Lead you will establish and maintain technical rigor and ensure technical analysis is performed correctly clearly and properly documented. You will be responsible for general understanding and oversight of all aspects of the Common Test Team functions and collaboration across all aspects of the Common Test Team including planning execution resource management and technical team leadership.
