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.

Our Airborne Antennas Radome & Apertures team is recognized across the defense community as one of the most capable antenna and low observable (LO) engineering groups in the United States. Our engineers tackle some of the worlds toughest RF antenna and aperture challenges. We design high performance highly integrated mission critical antennas radomes and active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs).

We are seeking a Senior Antenna Design Engineer to drive the development of state-of-the-art AESAs digital arrays and multi-function RF/Microwave subsystems. This role is ideal for senior engineers who want to work on programs with nationallevel importance and who excel at both deep technical analysis and handson engineering leadership.

This position requires job duties to be performed onsite due to the sensitive nature of this work and the desire for in-person collaboration; however we offer flexible in-office hours and the ability to perform some job duties remotely.

What You Will Do

• Provide technical leadership on the design modeling realization and verification of advanced ultrawideband phased arrays.
• Work with a multidisciplined team to derive RF/Microwave and Antenna performance requirements (EIRP G/T P1dB IP3 VSWR etc.) from system functional requirements.
• Develop RF/Microwave and Antenna subsystem architectures to meet performance and Size Weight Power and Cost (SWaP-C) requirements .
• Work with software firmware and digital hardware engineers to shape digital array backend requirements and architectures (ADC DAC FPGA and Processor resources etc.).
• Use RF/Microwave analysis software to design and predict performance of RF/Microwave and Antenna subsystems.
• Exhibit exceptionally high level of innovation creativity and initiative.
• Provide technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems involving antenna/sensor-based applications such as radar electronic warfare electronic attack electronic support measures communications geolocation direction finding etc.
• Mentor and guide more junior engineers and technicians in the design build and test phases of projects and programs.
• Work with interdisciplinary engineering teams including thermal structural mechanical systems etc.
• Participate in and guide the testing of RF hardware for required performance metrics
• Contribute to technical proposals concept generation and competitive strategy for new business pursuits.
• Execute tasks requiring creativity innovation and independent technical judgment on highvisibility programs.
• Present complex technical findings to internal leadership external customers and program stakeholders with clarity and authority.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a Bachelors in Science Technology Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum of five (5) years of relevant RF engineering experience including any combination of the following:
  • Design simulation fabrication and test of RF/Microwave CCAs and modules preferably including familiarity with the design of digital and power electronics
  • Experience with microwave test equipment and calibration techniques especially use of a vector network analyzer; or experience in antenna range testing.
  • Experience Troubleshooting RF/Microwave Antenna/AESA hardware software and build/process issues down to the component levels
  • Experience with system issues associated with RF design such as Noise Figure Linearity S-Parameters Antenna Gain Antenna Directivity Side Lobe Levels Rogue Oscillations etc.
  • Experience with common RF test equipment such as Network Analyzer Spectrum Analyzers Signal & Pulse Generators and Oscilloscopes
  • Experience with using Keysight SystemVue Keysight ADS and MATLAB
• Experience leading technical tasks or project teams through design analysis build and / or test.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in RF/Microwave circuits.
• Experience presenting complex technical data to leadership customers and engineering review boards.
• Experience preparing and leading technical proposal efforts.
• Experience leading contract R&D (CRAD) or advanced development programs
• Ability to mentor and guide multidisciplinary teams on highimpact programs.

Why Join Raytheons Airborne Antenna Radomes and Apertures Team
