POSITION ROLE TYPE:

Onsite
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.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Raytheon’s Effector Power and Analog Design (EPAD) Team is looking for junior to mid-level engineers who have power electronics knowledge to help design robust power systems.

The Effector Power and Analog Design 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 operate in lower power and voltage ranges less than 10kW and 1000V.

• Design, analyze, simulate, test, and document power conversion (and related analog) circuitry. This circuitry will dominantly involve non-isolated and isolated switch mode power converters and linear converters. Main emphasis is on board-mounted power end use applications.
• Architect circuit card-level power schemes and develop related requirements.
• Help to see circuit card development through its design phases, from requirements definition through initial integration testing.
• Drive to meet schedule concerns. Define schedules for circuit level tasking.
• Guide ECAD drafters through layout and routing activities, with moderate support from senior engineers. Assist in layer stackup definition.
• Function as an individual contributor. Understand the role of a small team lead and engage in personal technical growth.
• Clearly present your work product to functional and program leadership.
