Senior Navigation/IMU Engineer

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 Team

The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department develops guidance section electronics architectures for development programs, supports subsystem analyses, integration and test, and provides program leadership. We partner with several Electrical Engineering Departments that provide the detailed designs of our electrical products. Our team is dedicated to generating and utilizing cutting-edge technology to develop electrical subsystems.

About the Role

As a Senior Navigation/IMU Engineer, you will collaborate with experienced engineers to select Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and integrate them into navigation subsystems. You will work within a program Integrated Product Team (IPT) environment, often independently with little supervision, to set up tests verifying IMU performance and analyze the results. Your work will involve understanding the fundamentals of IMU operation, analyzing performance data, and grasping how these components integrate into broader guidance and navigation systems.

You will serve as a subject matter expert, conducting peer reviews of designs, presenting to peers, management, and government customers, and leading root-cause failure investigations. RTX fosters a strong culture of mentoring, where employees are expected to be both mentors and mentees. You will effectively communicate status, issues, and accomplishments to leadership and customers, utilizing a fault-tree approach to prioritize activities and resources. While the work environment is primarily office-based, assignments may include labs, field work, and some travel, including foreign travel.
