About the Role

The Advanced Effectors Guidance Systems department is seeking a Senior Principal Electrical Subsystem Architect to lead architecture development for next-generation missile guidance, control, and sensing electronics. This position defines and drives the technical direction for high reliability power conditioning, energy delivery, and precision analog subsystems that operate in extreme missile environments.

As a technical authority, you will evaluate, mature, and guide designs across a wide range of development stages—from early conceptual modeling through detailed design, integration, and transition to production. You will chair technical reviews, set technical strategy, and drive complex multi-disciplinary issue resolution. Your work will involve co-optimizing across electrical, thermal, structural, motor control, and mechanical impacts to ensure system trades are quantifiable and aligned with real-world military specifications.

This role offers significant visibility across RTX Missiles & Defense, with opportunities to mentor senior talent, influence technology roadmaps, and present trade studies to Chief Engineers, Directors, and VPs. You will be part of a culture that values Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
