THE ROLE

Raytheon UK are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer with a background in defence or aerospace who is ideally knowledgeable about training development to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of requirements management, system design, interface management, integration, verification, validation (IV&V), and product qualification.

The successful candidate will have access to professional development opportunities and be part of the growing Defence Business in Raytheon UK, delivering engineering expertise across a wide range of projects to both military and civil customers worldwide.
