About the Role

The Effector RF Design Team at Raytheon is seeking a talented Principal Engineer to join our team in Tucson, AZ. This onsite role is designed for a leader who will shape the design and implementation of antenna, radome, and radar cross section (RCS) ranges and chambers.

In this position, you will bridge the gap between technical execution and strategic planning. You will collaborate with government personnel to define and refine requirements, ensuring range and chamber compliance. Beyond technical design, a key part of your mission is to guide, coach, and mentor employees across the business, fostering a culture of excellence within your areas of expertise.
