About the Team and Role

The Hardware Engineering Team provides engineering design and development services to a wide range of products within Raytheon. The Critical Item Production Readiness (CPR) department is dedicated to ensuring that every product we develop is designed with its entire production lifecycle in mind. By integrating principles of manufacturability, assembly, scalability, and cost management, we aim to achieve production excellence while meeting the highest standards of quality and reliability.

As a Product Development Engineer (PDE), you will serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) in manufacturability for several programs, with a specific focus on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) product lifecycle. Your expertise will be instrumental in ensuring the successful production of PCBs and CCAs by influencing critical design decisions during the development cycle. This role directly contributes to the overall affordability, reliability, and efficiency of our manufacturing processes.

In this onsite role based in McKinney, Texas, you will lead and facilitate team meetings, track actions and status, and foster efficient communication between design engineers, supply chain teams, third-party suppliers, and program leadership to ensure alignment of goals and expectations. You will utilize your in-depth understanding of PCB or CCA manufacturing processes to guide design teams in making informed decisions regarding component selection, termination finishes, placement, bonding or coating material selection, rework methods, and industry best practices.
