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.

Raytheons Effector Analog and Power (EAP) Team is looking for a senior level engineer who has designed proven digital power converter systems and has expert knowledge of state-of-the-art digital power firmware workflows.

The Effector Power Department is responsible for the development from concept to integration of Telemetry and Flight Termination products; power systems from all up round to the lowest level power regulation; servo electronics supporting all mechanical motion in our products and low noise mixed signal electronics that provides the analog to digital interface to our front-end sensors. Each of these products generally operates in lower power and voltage ranges less than 10kW and 1000V.

What You Will Do

• Design analyze simulate test and document digital power converter (and related analog) circuitry. This circuitry will predominantly involve non-isolated and isolated switch mode power converters with an FPGA- or microcontroller-based controller.
• Facilitate maturation of the digital power design process that encompasses all aspects of designing verifying and maintaining digital controller firmware as well as circuit card stack development through its design phases from requirements definition through initial integration testing.
• Develop implement and maintain comprehensive configuration management procedures for digital power firmware using a version control system.
• Develop Agile hardware project management workflow to help digital power teams plan track and discuss development of both firmware and hardware.
• Champion code reuse and coding standards to fast-track digital power converter firmware development.
• Develop real-time power converter models to accelerate firmware development and verification using a hardware-in-the-loop target machine.
• Support FPGA and microcontroller roadmap for digital power controllers.
• Drive to meet schedule concerns. Define schedules for circuit circuit card and power system level tasking.
• Guide ECAD drafters and junior engineers through layout and routing activities. Define layer stackup definitions. Act as an expert regarding creepage and clearance.
• Engage in personal technical growth and facilitate technical growth in peers and junior engineers. Drive the capture of opportunities needed to mature the organization on the technical front.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelors in Science Technology Engineering or Mathematics (STEM)
• Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant engineering experience
• Design analysis test and/or simulation experience with linear converters and familiarity with all the following non-isolated converter topologies: buck boost buck-boost.
• Experience using tool suites such as Azure DevOps for Agile project management GIT and MATLAB/Simulink Simscape/ HDL Coder
• Experience using MathWorks Speedgoat hardware-in-the-loop target machines for real-time firmware verification and/or Texas Instruments C-2000 family of microcontrollers Microchip PIC controllers Microchip PolarFire FPGAs and/or timing closure.
• Experience with analog electronics design including all of the following: FETs/BJTs op-amp high/low/band pass filters clock/data termination and comparator circuits.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering
• Understanding of switching converter control techniques and modes such as voltage mode peak and average current modes their advantages and disadvantages. Conceptual familiarity and experience must include stability.
• Experience leading large teams (formally or informally) and experience working with other team leads toward a larger goal.
• Exposure to managing customer relationships.
• Experience communicating and documenting technical topics at the small and large team level and experience presenting to upper levels of management.
• Experience conducting trade studies relating to power electronics architecture at the circuit card stack level.
• Experience guiding drafters through the ECAD process including the layout and routing concerns specific to non-isolated and isolated power electronics.
• Experience Utilizing and creating electrical design specifications. Should have exposure to requirements definition early in the design cycle.
• Experience designing at the power system level to meet concerns of adjacent disciplines such as thermal structural mechanical reliability and quality.
