SECURITY CLEARANCE:

DoD Clearance: Secret
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 today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.
The Integrated Solutions, Modeling, and Architecture (ISMA) directorate assesses, develops, and evaluates solution architectures for our customers’ largest, most complex challenges across all the operational domains. In the Operations and Mission Analysis Department you’ll be part of a special team that analyzes the world’s most challenging threats and helps define new capabilities to counter them, pushing the boundaries of innovation, and leading the industry in operational modeling and simulation using our purpose-built software. As a team member in the Airborne Kill Chain AI/ML Section, you will join a high-performing team of engineers working with high-fidelity missile simulations to construct decision support systems used by the warfighter.
Raytheon is currently seeking a Simulation Analysis Engineer I. This is an onsite role in Tucson, AZ, with the potential for occasional travel a few times a year.

• Producing PowerPoint slides, documentation, and/or publications.
• Experience with military work or substantive domain knowledge of tools and tactics of warfare
• Active and transferable U.S. government issued SECRET or TOP SECRET security clearance

POSITION ROLE TYPE:

Onsite
U.S. Citizen, U.S. Person, or Immigration Status Requirements:
Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• You will support the design, development, and/or utilization of high-fidelity digital simulation software in advanced technical computing environments.
• You will contribute to trade studies to assess system performance of weapons against a variety of threats in a variety of kill chain scenarios.
• You will contribute your knowledge of performance engineering practices, and procedures, to evaluate work across a wide range of intriguing computational problems to answer questions such as: what should be the next system improvement; or what is the effectivity of the missile against a single or multiple threats; or what counter measures should be considered to increase effectivity and/or survivability and other operational performance related questions.
• You will contribute and collaborate in a team environment, receiving input from the program, external customers, or team experts, and work on projects, as you determine, develop, and implement analytic approaches that will generate the supporting data to inform programmatic decisions.
• You will participate in the development and implementation of model-based solutions to power decision support systems, and participate in validation and testing models, software components and/or integrated systems.
