The Guidance Electronics 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 Guidance Electronics Team is searching for a PrincipalGPS 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 sub-assemblies 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 root-cause 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.
Assignments may require supporting multiple programs.
Assignments may require some travel, including foreign travel.
Work within a multi-disciplined team.
Work independently, with little supervision.
Develop a network and know when to use it to get help.

Collaboration with Customer and Suppliers.
Qualifications You Must Have
Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience
Minimum of 8years of engineering experience
Experience withelectrical hardware development
Experience in sub-systems, systems engineering, requirement development, developing RF electrical subsystems and/orrequirement validation
Qualifications We Prefer
Missile Radar and RF seeker subsystems typically contain antennas, analog RF circuit cards, digital circuit cards, and configurable logic so the ideal candidate will have a background in detailed design and troubleshooting of one or more of these components.
Ideal candidates will also have some experience in systems engineering and architecture and have a desire to grow into a guidance section architect.
Ideal candidates shall also have demonstrated understanding and wide application of technical theories and concepts in the area of navigation subsystems/components used in modern guidance electronics platforms
Recent technical experience relative to integrated Guidance Electronics systems using GPS and IMU navigation subsystems blended via Kalman filter techniques
Knowledge and/or experience with M-Code
Familiarity with Matlab scripting and tools
Experience with hardware integration, Hardware in the Loop (HIL), modeling and simulation and environmental testing and electronics test equipment
Experience working with missiles or similar systems.
Ability to lead cross-functional teams.
Ability to drive suppliers in meeting commitments.
Knowledge of DOD Hardware development process (knowledge of design gates).
Practical experience in all phases of the product development lifecycle.
Experience in developing proposals.
Knowledge and/or experience with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE)
