About Raytheon and Our Mission

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.

About the Effector Analog & Power (EAP) Team

The EAP Department is responsible for the development, from concept to integration, of Telemetry and Flight Termination products. We also develop power systems ranging from the all-up round to the lowest level power regulation, servo electronics supporting mechanical motion, and low noise mixed signal electronics that provide the analog-to-digital interface to front-end sensors. These products generally operate in lower power and voltage ranges (less than 10kW and 1000V).

The Telemetry and Flight Termination Systems team specifically develops system designs focused on supporting effector flight tests. We adhere to rigorous standards from the Range Commanders Council, Federal Communications Commission, and the National Security Agency in the design and utilization of our products. Our work involves performing make/buy trade studies, designing application-specific Printed Circuit Board Assemblies, and collaborating with leading industry suppliers of antennas, transmitters, encoders, and flight termination components.
