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.
The Advanced Effector Guidance Systems (AEGS) Department within Raytheon Hardware Engineering provides Electrical Systems Engineering to develop Electronic Systems solutions for products across the Raytheon portfolio. We partner with several Electrical Product Team departments that provide the detailed design of our electrical products as well as systems teams to ensure robust and producible architectures.
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. The role requires co-optimization across electrical, thermal, structural, motor control, and mechanical impacts while communicating with Chief Engineers, PMs, and executives. You will also mentor senior talent, investigate partner/supplier work, and present trade studies to stakeholders.
As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure hiring process, candidates may be asked to attend select steps of the interview process in-person at one of our office locations, regardless of whether the role is designated as on-site, hybrid, or remote. This position is onsite in Tucson, AZ and offers relocation assistance.
