About the Team and Role

Raytheon's Surface Radars and Sensors (SR&S) Center in Huntsville, AL, is seeking a Systems Engineer II to support Digital Radar test activities. This role is vital for ensuring the performance and reliability of advanced radar capabilities across hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and field environments.

In this position, you will engage in a wide range of engineering activities, from planning and executing radar test events to conducting detailed data analysis. You will apply radar-domain expertise to evaluate system performance, assess algorithms and software, and identify root causes of anomalies. The role involves generating and interpreting modeling and simulation scenarios to predict radar performance and validate algorithm updates against flight test truth data. You will also support real-time and near-real-time field analysis during test events, providing reach-back to development teams and advising mission leadership on system status.

You will collaborate with group leads, cross-discipline engineers, program leadership, and government stakeholders to define analysis objectives and communicate findings. The work includes producing technically rigorous analysis reports, performance assessments, and presentation materials suitable for internal reviews and external customer briefings. While the position is onsite, it may require occasional domestic travel (approximately 15-25%) to Raytheon and government facilities to support integration, test events, and technical meetings.

Hiring Process and Application

As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regardless of whether the role is designated as on-site, hybrid, or remote. Please note that an active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance (Secret level) is required prior to the start date, and U.S. citizenship is mandatory.
