Join our RF/Microwave Engineering team at Raytheon and help develop mission-critical technologies that protect the U.S. and our international this role you will design develop integrate test and/or support the manufacture of advanced RF and microwave hardware for radar and sensing applications.

You may work across a broad range of technologies including RF circuit card assemblies (CCAs) and modules for receivers exciters and transmitters; antennas and radomes; semiconductor devices; microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs); and phased-array hardware.

You will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering manufacturing test and program teams throughout the full hardware development lifecyclefrom concept development and detailed design through integration verification and transition to production. This is an opportunity to solve challenging RF problems work hands-on with advanced hardware and contribute directly to some of Raytheons premier radar and sensing programs.

What You Will Do:

• Design simulate and analyze RF/microwave components MMICs CCAs and/or phased array module hardware.

• Perform assembly testing and characterization of RF microwave and millimeter-wave hardware and/or devices.

• Execute component-level and system-level integration and testing for digital analog and RF assemblies.

• Utilize automated test instrumentation and software (e.g. Python MATLAB LabVIEW) to control measurement systems capture data and evaluate test results.

• Characterize and test hardware using advanced laboratory equipment including Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) Signal Generators Spectrum Analyzers Phase Noise Analyzers and Performance Network Analyzers (PNAs).

• Conduct circuit simulations obsolescence trade assessments hardware troubleshooting and failure investigations to resolve performance issues.

• Partner with multi-discipline teams

• Participate in project design reviews peer reviews and briefings to internal program leadership and external customers

What You Will Learn:

• RF simulation and design processes

• RF hardware characterization techniques including using spectrum analyzers network analyzers signal generators phase noise analyzers etc.

• Software such as Keysight ADS HFSS Cadence Viruoso MATLAB CST Mentor Graphics Expedition Python Labview

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Applied Physics or related Science Technology Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) discipline. Degree must be obtained by start date.
